Americans don't have enough solidarity to recommend you for a white collar job, they certainly don't have solidarity enough for a general strike!

Why no general strike?

Please ask how long you are willing to strike from your current job? Are you an at-will employee? How much savings do you currently have?

My students will be watching "Sleep Dealer" for class next week to kick off our discussion of technology, borders, and labor. I also have them reading Petra Molnar's report, "Technological Testing Grounds," which examines how public-private partnerships set the stage for what López narrates below.

Public Books @publicbooks.bsky.social · 1d

The persistent practice of differentiation—of making the Other a kind of enemy threat to exclude from the nation—demonstrates how geopolitical borders emerge from military logics, from enacting an inequality of force that favors an existing political order.

Borders Are War by Other Means - Public Books

The border today is and is made through sociotechnical arrangements centering data in the regulation of racial difference.

Silence is complicity

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 1d

As Palestinians cling to a fragile ceasefire after suffering horrific genocide, I ask those who remained silent and complicit for the last two years—was it worth it?

Was it worth it to know this is how history, your children, your descendants, will remember you?

People are homeless because they can’t afford rent.

Because capitalism wrings out every piece of productivity from people while just barely maintaining their survival so they can continue to work.

Because suffering on the streets is a threat to make you go clock in.

It’s not a personal failure.

This thread is super interesting and I really had no idea about the popularity of XBox being minimal compared to PlayStation and does actually speak to the success of the Microsoft marketing team for convincing us all it was an actual competitor.

With all the Xbox news there's been a lot of discussion about the inevitable death of Xbox, and in a lot of these discussions both in essay and online, there's a lot of reverence for when Xbox was good, the 360, where they were so powerful they managed to match Sony's worst performing console.

Israel violating yet another ceasefire agreement, huh

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 2d

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

Also, if an employee does that training, the company may have a clause that they remain at the company for x amount of months or pay it back.

It's a way to keep people in low-paying jobs because you "paid" for a "certification".
