Workers are voting to join unions at the highest rate in 15 years.

The number of workplace strikes hit a 23-year high last year.

Why? Perhaps it's because the CEO-to-worker pay ratio at S&P 500 companies was 268-to-1 last year.

Workers are fed up — and rightfully so.

Los ataques terroristas y de sabotaje que Israel está cometiendo contra toda la población libanesa solo se pueden leer como un intento deliberado para forzar una respuesta desde Líbano y escalar la guerra contra toda la región árabe.

Permitirle todo a Israel es una política temeraria que pone en peligro a la región árabe y a todo el planeta.

Es urgente romper las relaciones diplomáticas con Israel, imponer un embargo militar real y llevar a sus dirigentes genocidas y racistas ante la justicia.

This was already a TV show called Person of Interest. 😂

Do these people really have no concept of culture? Of the humanities? Do they genuinely expect we'll hear the words spewing out of their months, nod sagely, and utter “that is wise” ??

The push for an "age verification" requirement on the Internet is 1% aimed at protecting children and 99% aimed at controlling speech. It effectively bans anonymity, for starters.

It is a license to speak, and read.

Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and X owner Elon Musk are "the worst polluters in human history", Stephen Fry has said.

"You and your children cannot breathe the air or swim in the waters of our culture without breathing in the toxic particulates and stinking effluvia that belch and pour unchecked from their companies into the currents of our world."

Why does tech culture have such nauseating leaders? What is it about technology that brings out the very, very worst humans?

#GretaThunberg :
"We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal’ was already a crisis.

What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.

It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.

If economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting.”

Por cierto, si estáis en Madrid, yo iría de vez en cuando a echarles dineros al bar vegano La Oveja Negra. Les han acosado por su apoyo a Palestina y eso les ha cortado cero en seguir haciéndolo.
