"A new generation of young women garment workers are organizing across factories and borders. They are even building relationships with women workers in the US. The fashion industry has no idea what's coming."

Where have I seen this before.... Ah. fortune.com/2022/11/06/t...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm.

US social media: I've seen this happen in other people's lives, Now it's happening in mine.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

U know how I know our congressional leaders aren’t doing enough to stop the rise of fascism? I’ve heard from multiple sources that *someone* is organizing against the lone immigrant on City Council who had the AUDACITY to say immigrants deserve due process. This is how they’re spending their time.
