"...there has been no mass organizing movement as many had hoped. One reason is the absence of a practical alliance between Mexican independent unions and the U.S. and Canadian unions in the same industries." labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

Lets put this in "business" terms. If you have an arm of your firms that costs $50k to operate, but it produces $500k in profits, and you cut it, you don't save $50k, you lose $450k. By cutting billions, they have the potential to reduce future growth by the trillions.

This is not a "dumb comment." It is a speech act at the very heart of Trump's worldview, and it, once again, highlights his affinity for kings and dictators. It also suggests that Trump thinks the "great" in MAGA refers not to the 19th century but to the period before American Independence.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.

In response to the erasure of trans history at stonewall, I suggest we reenact that pivotal moment in queer history by throwing bricks through the windows of Tesla dealers and Trump properties. Teslas themselves are also fair game.

What a remarkable self-own. It’s like watching a bunch of firefighters stand around looking at a burning house, annoyed because people keep calling them about it. “What do you want us to do? We didn’t set the fire! Call the arsonist.”

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them. Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case. Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

Donald Trump tried to illegally shut down funding for programs that millions of people rely on. Community health centers, Head Start programs, and charities are still having trouble accessing funds. Meanwhile, the taxpayers are paying for Trump's trip to the Super Bowl.

Long story short, people who are confidently asserting what's going to happen don't have a clue about what will happen [good or bad]. No one alive knows THE way forward because there is no one way forward. Humility is in order. Humans aren't usually humble.

I see some of you saying that the Democrats warned that all of this would happen with Tr*mp 2 and let's say you're right/correct. Why then were they not prepared to counter from day 1 when he won? Why are they so ineffective? Why should people entrust them with power in the future?

the other thing about these moves is that the union becomes untenable if your access to the good faith and protection of the national government is contingent on whether you renounce your co-sovereignty as a state and submit to the whims of a president who has claimed sovereign authority
