"Trumpis trying to help Andrew Cuomo defeat Zohran Mamdani by offering jobs to Adams and Sliwa to drop out.

Trump helping Cuomo will come at a cost NYC can’t afford.

NYC needs to be protected from fascism, not be victims of Cuomo & Trump’s corruption."

"It's official:The US now has more unemployed people than job openings for the first time since April 2021.

In July, the US had:
7.18 million job openings
7.24 million unemployed people

This is yet another crack in the labor market that illustrates how much harder it is to get a new job right now than what we've seen in a long time."

Small win, but Trump lost again:
Today, Gov. Beshear announced that he, PA Gov Shapiro, 22 state AGs & the DC successfully secured all of the AmeriCorps funding the Trump admin tried to halt.

The win will restore the rest of the >$9M in funds appropriated by Congress to support KY’s AmeriCorps service comm, Serve KY, which focuses on housing devel, the fight against hunger, family support, ed, disaster relief...

We have to understand structural adjustment, with its forced #privatization & dismantling of #public provisioning systems across the #South, as mass-scale #dispossession & a transfer of #wealth from the world’s working classes directly into the hands of international #capital.

"Losing my job, meant my wife and I lost our health insurance. My health continues to suffer and I have been spending all of my time searching for a new job so I can continue to get health insurance for my family and I can get the medication I need to help keep me alive."

”The Trump admin placed some FEMA employees on leave Tues after they signed an open letter of dissent about the agency’s ldrshp.

The fact that 180 employees signed onto the letter, with the supermajority of them still working in the bldg, & dozens of those ppl wanted to attach their names, signifies the severity of the problem.They’re that SCARED OF US BEING SO INADEQUATELY UNPREPARED.”

“NEW:More than 199,000 federal workers have left their jobs or have been forced out by the Trump admin since Jan. 2025, per a new report.”

That’s nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce.

“We’re seeing the arson of our government."

Veterans have been disproportionately hit by workforce cuts.

This is as true for the countries in Europe as it is for the united states. Our parents obviously didn't listen or did not care as the politicians of the 80th sold our public infrastructure and services to private devils.

#EvoMorales had something great with #MAS, but he chose to tear it apart rather than pass the torch when the time came.

This #election disillusioned a lot of people with #electoralism, but the #left is still a strong #movement outside of electoralism.

I expect it to be a long time with a lot of work before the left can consistently win elections again. I also expect strong resistance to the #authoritarian, #AntiIndigenous #privatization #agenda of the #right while it's in #power.

"The enclosure of the commons was not confined to Europe—it became a global strategy of domination central to the colonization of Africa and the Americas...The same colonial logic that drove enclosure in Europe was exported globally through conquest, slavery, and resource extraction...its destruction has disproportionately impacted women."

"It's hardto find a job right now, regardless of your age or experience (unless you work in AI or HC).

New jobless claims ticked up last week to 235k (up from 224k the prior week).

Everyone should be watching #unemployment claims for signs of further labor mkt weakening. We're still at relatively low level, but we don't want to see more pickup this fall."

How we communicate a project says a lot about it's place and value in the community. "Upward" communication to grantors & investors is one thing, and not the best thing for describing the true "value" of something.

And the idea that every project must turn a financial profit is a false one perpetuated by profiteers who ultimately don't care about the community - only the profit.
