"garment factory owners, including Jewish employers, saw the union become more powerful throughout the 1920s and 30s. They saw Jews espousing socialism, Italians preaching anarchism, and they started to look for workers elsewhere"

Ah, the Wikimedia Foundation, that bastion of free knowledge, now wants to freely ignore #unions 🚫🤖. They've traded in their "all-for-one" ethos for a shiny new anti-union law firm 🤝🔨. Maybe they can update their robot policy to include "robots work better without pesky unions" 🤖➡️👋.

March on Sunday in Mexico City in Defense of Cuba

from La Jornada on FB July 24, 2026
[translated from Spanish by FB]

Social organizations hope that the march in defense of #Cuba this Sunday in #MexicoCity will be massive, with a participation higher than that they have had in the mobilizations held every July 26 for decades, mainly to protest the hardening of Donald #Trump's government policy against the island and Washington's measures aimed at other countries and progressive movements.

Olivia Garza Joa, vice president of the Association of Cubans Resident in #Mexico José Martí, explained that for more than a month, solidarity organizations with Cuba, social movements, urban and popular collectives, #unions, parties and other groups have come together to organize a unitary march.

A federal judge struck down the #Trump admin’s restrictions on a popular #StudentLoan forgiveness program for #PublicServants, 1 day before the new rules were to take effect.

Judge Myong J. Joun 💪 sided with a group of #nonprofits, #states, #cities & #unions that challenged the legality of the admin’s revised eligibility requirements for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, which cancels the #education #debt of #government & nonprofit employees after 10 years of service & 120 monthly loan payments.

#Wikipedia workers are organizing to #Unionize as Wiki Workers Union because the institution hosting the world’s #encyclopedia has started union-busting.

This serious issue shouldn't be used as an excuse for other causes. For example, addressing the antisemitism present in the CBC should not immediately or exclusively lead to calls for defunding the CBC, nor should the antisemitism shown in unions be used exclusively as a call to weaken collective bargaining or worker's rights.

Political moves like the above reduce Jews to political pawns and reduce Jewish suffering to a political issue, one that can be leveraged or traded.

Many Jews such as myself as politically homeless. While many of us (including myself) identify as liberal or left leaning, the events in the last 10 (and especially 3) years have taught us a painful lesson.about who we can trust.

If you want us on your side, you need to show you care about us as people.

Rambling "How I Spent My ${DURATION}" braindump.

Last week I was carrying bags of water softener #salt into my furnace room and noticed a small #limescale deposit on the floor in the middle of the room that hadn't been there a few days before. Directly above it are a bunch of water #pipes going off in different directions. Found one 90 degree elbow that had more than the usual accumulation of green stuff on it, like a tiny #stalactite. Okay, water #leak found.

I was going to wait for the weekend to fix it, but it seemed to be speeding up, so I did it Wednesday. I had to cut a chunk of #convoluted pipe out of the system that was way more complex than it should have been. It had to go around other #pipes and join another #pipe and around some joists, but the #plumber who put this in 40 years ago had a #fetish or something. No word of a lie, it reminded me more of the Windows NT "pipes" #screensaver than anything else.

In a volume about the size of a 2L bottle of pop, there were 4 #elbows, 3 #unions, and five little pieces of pipe if I remember correctly. I soldered together a matching jumble of parts ... and then couldn't solder one side of it in, because it's at a local low point, and I couldn't get the last dribbles of #water to stop. Any water wicks the heat away and the #solder doesn't stick.

Ended up using a #flex line with #sharkbite connectors to replace the whole thing. What a shame, I was proud of my replacement.
