It's DAY 12 of our national, open-ended ULP strike.
Thousands of baristas in over 65 cities are on strike demanding higher wages, better hours, and an end to union-busting. And we're just getting started 🔥

Saw a thread about how the math here dilutes the Japanese side because they divide by the entire population (including babies, etc.) 🧵
The National Police Agency told a cabinet committee that the crime rate of foreigners in Japan, excluding short term visitors, is 1.72x that of Japanese residents. www.sankei.com/article/2025...

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

I'd never heard of this site until tonight. Both my books are on there. Did you know my publisher offers one of three lowest royalty rates in the entire industry? And that I didn't get an advance? Literally all I make is from royalties. Royalties I don't earn when you pirate my book.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

This is the kind of revolving door stuff that is far more common and far more important than AIPAC's relatively recent entry into campaign spending
Under Biden, General Erik Kurilla was closer to Israel than almost anyone else in government.
Under Trump, he delivered on Israeli + US hardliners' dream of joint US-Isr attacks on Iran.
Now he's joining the hawkish Washington Institute for Near East Policy to continue shaping US discourse & choices

Been volunteering at the kodomo shokudo for about a year 🧒🏻🍛Cooking is only part of the job, and we feed some adult neighbors as well ✨ I do a lot on the distribution side, organizing donations and bagging food for families to take home. It’s a way to help out locally if you’re in Japan 🙌🏻

Israel’s crimes in the West Bank are horrific.
In early 2025, the Israeli military launched an operation that emptied three Palestinian refugee camps. They've blocked their residents from returning and razed many of their homes.
In a new report, HRW finds that Israeli forces carried out war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

I'm still working with these two families in Gaza. The "ceasefire" has barely made an improvement and both families are living in dire situations that lack warmth and shelter. Winter is approaching, which is the rainy season--not suitable for living in tents.

Incredible ghoulish behavior here from Obama’s old speechwriter. She straight up says that she has a hard time convincing people Israel has a right to kill Palestinians because people have seen too many videos of Israeli war crimes

Been wondering about this 🫠 It’s so much worse than I knew.
Enormous mistake as @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social reappoints Jessica Tisch NYPD commissioner. He calls her a pursuer of police corruption but she promoted John Chell. Calls her an opponent of authoritarianism but she collaborated with ICE. The case against Tisch:
Mamdani's NYC Can't Afford NYPD Commissioner Tisch
With ICE on its way, how can we expect an ICE collaborator to protect New Yorkers? Here's a compromise: make Tisch sanitation commissioner again

Yeah, if you grow up in a food desert, or near a polluting company, or work for a company that doesn't let you take appropriate breaks, or get hit by someone else's car, shame on you for not taking care of your health.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."
