This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. This Labor Day remember the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights we enjoy today. #UnionStrong #HappyLaborDay #NoGodsNoMasters

On this day, we remember that labor should be entitled to all it creates. But in reality, billionaires pocket the fruits of our labor for themselves. This makes us poorer individually and collectively, as essential needs go unfunded so that the rich can enjoy our riches.

If you have tomorrow off, if your kids attend middle school instead of working in a factory, if you have workplace protections, and if you have sick leave and vacation time, thank unions. Even if you don't belong to one, they're responsible for things we all take for granted. And happy #LaborDay.

I’m getting tired of hearing that Avery outplayed Rocco yesterday. Avery: 21/30, 273, 2 TD, 1 RTD, 0 INT, 76.0 QBR Rocco: 14/28, 183, 2 TD, 1 RTD, 0 INT, 77.1 QBR Basically the same stats (yards don’t win games), and Rocco led a game-icing drive to win it. I’d take that every day. #BlueCy

The main successful fascist operation happening is the ICE one and even that’s being pushed back in the streets by less than 1% of the US population, quite successfully. A truly unified opposition would be able to stop Trump completely.

…an ideological cult leader that held everything together the same way as in the first iteration / they lost the figurehead midway through. Now the big question is… does the new New Republic and New Jedi Order offer a paradigm shift after the fall of the First Order and the last remaining Sith?

And this time the fascists made sure that all of their opponents were destroyed and or ousted in the first pass, in a much more violent manner. Now they did collapse faster the second time, because there was internal fighting and no more adults in the room. They also didn’t have…
Grant Jensen (@grantjensen.bsky.social) reply parent
There was no real change between the Old and New Republic organizationally or structurally. Everyone just wanted things to get back to a sense of normalcy, but didn’t address the deeper issues in the society that CAUSED the rise of the fascist regime. Then surprise, a bit later, everything blew up.
Grant Jensen (@grantjensen.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah! You had a neoliberal government replace a mostly fascist government without actually removing the vestiges and people who allowed the fascists to take over. There was no hunting down and imprisonment/killing of former regime officials like in Germany.

Random thought. Trump 1 was the Empire. Biden was the New Republic. Trump 2 is the First Order. I should make a video on this.

Fun fact: Did you know you can download a complete copy of Wikipedia to your local hard drive? The uncompressed filesize is 86gb, small enough to fit on a $10 thumbdrive. With the sustained legal threats faced by the Internet Archive and the information decay posed by LLMs, it's worth a thought.

So my brother has been learning about the investigation branch of ICE, HSI. They had BUDGET CUTS unlike their sister branch, ICE ERO. And guess why: they investigate trafficking, money laundering, sex tourism, child exploitation, cybercrimes (crypto + fraud), human rights violations, etc.
