If I were an illegally detained migrant laborer, I would simply come up with $1,500 in ransom after weeks/months of imprisonment in a wildcat internment camp. This, to me, is proof that we can trust the process, regardless of how slow and inadequate, as it marches inextricably towards justice.
///BREAKING/// Judge Jeffrey Cummings orders that by noon of Nov. 17, he will order the release of all of the 615 "Operation Midway Blitz" detainees identified as class participants (at least those still here in the country) once they pay a $1,500 bond.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to visit the White House once again after winning the World Series for the second year in a row.
Now, an immigration rights group is pleading for the team to not go. The National Day Laborer Organizing Network @daylaborernetwork (NDLON) created an online petition.

My Dad was a proud laborer and then a labor leader his whole career. Never once did I go to his labor union hall and see anyone who looked like this.
If your patriotism relies on racial exclusion, it’s a problem. Labor Department social media campaign depicts an all White male workforce .

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Few artists have examined the ethnographic gaze as closely as Coco Fusco. Across her career, she has inhabited many roles — museum specimen, interrogator, colonial queen, subaltern laborer — to expose the systems that produce them.
Coco Fusco Turns Back the Ethnographic Gaze
In her first US retrospective, she becomes museum specimen, interrogator, colonial queen, and more to expose the systems that produce them.

in five days i will meet with the book group at the town senior center to discuss Omar El Akkad’s _One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This_, and i wonder how, given the media environment people in the US have marinated in, they will have grappled with passages like this. 📚

under the command of the supreme warlord, Party members and all civil officials above the rank of minor bureaucrat will not be able to refuse working more hours than an average laborer of their jurisdiction if it is required of them (get tougher!)
So they made up this whole thing about ACA subsidies and felt no pressure to cave because they were able to go home on the weekends. People were starving and dying because they weren't getting basic things from the government but they did not care about that.
Then, they had to work one weekend.

it's especially fiddly these days as there's often not much financial difference (a degreed office worker and a skilled laborer may well earn similar wages!) but can be very different cultural *stuff*

WA's middle housing law doesn't include a size limit on cottage housing. Keep in mind that Clyde Hill is only required to allow up to two units per lot anyway.
They have to go to Merriam-Webster to find a defense for the idea that cottage housing should be smaller than a single-family house.

Seff doesn't work out per se, but she gets more than enough conditioning and practical strength training by being Drohim's squire: combat training, carrying armor, riding and caring for horses, and more. Before that, she was a laborer in a distillery, stirring vats and hauling grain. She's very fit.

The spoils system worked in the 19th century because salaries for federal jobs were much higher than one could get in the private sector. Federal clerks and local postmasters could make two to three times what the average laborer made.
I have long argued that the single best thing you could do to improve the functioning of the US government is double the salaries of everyone working on Capitol Hill. Serving Congress shouldn’t involve poverty wages in DC. You could attract a much wider set of perspectives netting a better result.
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

There's plenty of other $$$ to fuck ACA, but that is the main one, to diminish the power of the labor/laborer and chain you to employment.
Sure, you can COBRA benefits...if you can afford that. But that's a limited time dealio, basically done to cover you until you get that next job with benefits.
