They will be called ICE Youth and when the historical parallels are pointed out they will act like it's insane to draw that comparison

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem just announced she's removing the age limit for ICE applicants, which allows literal teenagers to now apply. What could possibly go wrong?

World Central Kitchen announces it is halting operations in Gaza after Israel targeted one of its vehicles in an airstrike, reportedly killing three WCK staff and then two rescue workers.

The IDF claims—without providing evidence—that one of the WCK workers was a “terrorist.”
World Central Kitchen @WCKitchen Follow We are heartbroken to share that a vehicle carrying World Central Kitchen colleagues was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. At this time, we are working with incomplete information and are urgently seeking more details. World Central Kitchen had no knowledge that any individual in the vehicle had alleged ties to the October 7th Hamas attack. World Central Kitchen is pausing operations in Gaza at this time. Our hearts are with our colleagues and their families in this unimaginable moment.

World Central Kitchen ALT 10:06 AM • 11/30/24 • 2.9M Views Israel Defense Forces @IDF Earlier today, the IDF struck a vehicle with a terrorist, Hazmi Kadih, who took part in invading Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre. Kadih was monitored by IDF intelligence for a while and was struck following credible information regarding his real-time location. Kadih also worked for the @WCKitchen organization, and following the incident, @cogatonline representatives demanded senior officials from the international community and the WCK administration to clarify the issue and order an urgent examination regarding the hiring of workers who took part in the October 7 massacre and terrorist attacks against the State of Israel. We emphasize that according to current information, it is not possible to link the terrorist to a specific abduction attempt. The IDF requests to follow the announcements of official sources only and to avoid the spreading of rumors that hurt the families and the public. The IDF and ISA will continue to operate to locate and eliminate terrorists who conduct terrorist activities against the civilians of Israel and those involved in the October 7 massacre. 8:30 AM • 11/30/24 • 420K Views

Until 2/3 of each House give Donald Trump amnesty for his crimes against this country and the Constitution, his word has no force of law. He cannot order anyone to do anything. He is not a legitimate president. Embrace it. Demand it. Live by it. Become ungovernable.

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

The Coalition of Graduate Employees (CGE) at Oregon State is on strike!
CGE is on strike! Mass walkout November 12 11am MU Quad CGE IS ON STRIKE! In mediation on November 11, OSU’s bargaining team did not move towards CGE’s proposals regarding salary or contract term. They continue to insist on 4 year contract cycles with no partial reopeners and only a 10% raise to the minimum now, followed by another 2% in years 3 and 4. Their proposed contract locks incoming graduates into unsustainable conditions and cripples their bargaining power. After a year of openly combative negotiations, OSU has made it abundantly clear that their priority is not the pursuit of knowledge, but rather the pursuit of money, even at the expense of their own dedicated, hard-working, and talented graduate employees. We cannot accept this. Every member of our bargaining unit is entitled to the right to strike, but only CGE members have access to strike support. Join your union today and stand up for the rights of your colleagues present and future. If not now, when? If you are a CGE member, the time has come to turn up the dial on your involvement. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. Sign up for picketing shifts, talk to your coworkers, boost strike content on social media, and plug in with your departmental stewards. We are only as strong as our organizing! We deserve better, and together, we have the power to win it!
