In New Jersey, 25% of Black adults are barred from ever serving on a jury. “We’re whitewashing a space that’s disproportionately affecting Black and brown communities,” said one lawyer. “Which calls into question: who is getting a jury of one’s peers?” boltsmag.org/new-jer...

There's something I need people to understand. The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad. The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

There’s a lot of reasons to learn labor history, one big one is that many of us have never lived in a time of real worker power, or seen it exercised. We’ve never seen a general strike shut down our city and bring bosses to their knees. But it’s happened before and it will happen again.

When someone attacks me online, I imagine they are taking swings at an Amanda Knox pinata. It helps remind me that I am not my public image. This cuts both ways. The praise directed at me isn't really about me either.
