An actual human reaction. Politics is not sports.

DOGE destroyed the industry my partner works in, so she got a bartending job while she career pivots and figures out what’s next. They don’t offer benefits, like most service industry jobs, so she’s on Medicaid. Or at least she was. This country is being terrorized.

Labor is down to 10% of the total workforce, 6% in the private sector. The Democrats already had their conflicts, and handed their “victories” to corporate America (and incidentally permanently eroded their party machine’s support base). There is no blood left in that stone.

Enjoy the fireworks.

firing up the “never leaving this site” sign once again

I could not possibly be filled with more rage after seeing Texas Republicans blame the National Weather Service forecast for the unspeakable tragedy that hit the girls camp. You were warned this would happen if you fired everyone!

"Remigration" is a term with roots in the far-right identitarian movement in Europe. It essentially refers to a mass program of ethnic cleansing through forced migration of racial or ethnic minorities regardless of their legal status.

Date idea: The Battle Of Algiers and chill

Hardly anyone gets 40 hours at any of the big convenience/fast food chains in America, let alone 48? These companies are loath to approve overtime, and most of them deliberately keep workers under 30 hours to avoid providing benefits Insanely out of touch, empirically wrong

Hi. I willingly split rent with two friends. All three of us have jobs that involve working outdoors with our hands and bodies. And I’m happier for all of it. I’m sorry that accruing wealth and isolating yourself didn’t make you happier, but this framing is such a pathetic cope.

For no particular reason, I re-watched THE THIN RED LINE last night, for the first time in almost a decade. It's hard to think of another movie from the 90s that's aged this beautifully. And sadly, I think it would be impossible to make this kind of film today. A true masterpiece

During this escalation in immigration raids, unions are a tool for fighting back, not only to defend unionists who are detained, but also workers who are not in unions: day laborers, textile workers. Natascha Elena and I report on how Labor is fighting ICE labornotes.org/2025/07/fight-…

I just love this idea that wanting affordable cities makes you an insufferable yuppie but wanting billionaires and landlords to extract more money from everyone is the true expression of working class solidarity

Something I've wondered about the crazy amount of new federal funding for ICE: What kind of person willingly applies to work for ICE today? Like, even some wannabe stormtrooper who hates immigrants has to know that they'd be working at one of the most despised agencies in America

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

A tension regarding rent hikes in rent stabilized apartments is between efficiency and justice. So, one question is how many people risk eviction (or increased precarity requiring taking a second job) if rents increase by 3%? Can a rent hike be justified to these people?

It's crazy that the same Dem operatives who spent the last 8 months screaming that the Party needs to do whatever it takes to rebuild the coalition and win again want nothing to do with the guy who ran as a Dem and won this big!

Film criticism, when done well, is supposed to make you think deeper about a film and engage with it in more complex ways. It is not really meant to decide for the entire population whether or not they should see something. You all have agency. You get to decide that yourself.

Poisoning an entire city neighborhood so that you can power an AI supercomputer that's calling itself Mecha-Hitler is why billionaires shouldn't exist.
