Someone took a picture of Cook County inmates being used to shovel snow without any proper winter gear. Probably for no pay.
Do y'all know how cold it is in Chicago right now?
So y'all using incarcerated folks to put out fires in the West coast and free labor to shovel snow in the Midwest?
literally this is fucking deadly. everyone knows these are disposable lives to the “justice” system, and the reason hypothermia is so dangerous (as in, call 911 serious when suspected) is that by the time you do notice, you are already at a point where you need urgent medical attention and are at risk of shock and death.

For decades, student unions and associations have driven systemic changes in education and increased access for potential and current learners. On campuses across Canada, students have organized with each other to collectively improve conditions on campus and create and sustain services that are beneficial to our realities. When there is a threat to students’ access to education, students unions have been the vanguards challenging damaging policies and uplifting the voices of affected individuals.
Student mobilization has won many victories, including tuition freezes, standalone sexual assault policies, service centres as well as increased funding for Indigenous and graduate students.
Now, thanks to the Ford government, this could all be overturned.
Doug Ford wasn’t fooling anyone when he announced the 10 per cent reduction in domestic tuition fees. In the same breath, the Ford government launched the insidiously named “Student Choice Initiative,” a move that launches a transparent attack on autonomous student organizing.
Ford used the 10 per cent tuition reduction announcement as an ill-planned smokescreen to hide the blatant union-busting legislation that will reduce the resources of some of his biggest critics.
“Despite Seth’s widely known negative character traits, his worship continued until the Roman Period, and he maintained an important position in both personal religious piety and state ideology. It is likely that the Egyptians wanted to see in their king a combination of the attributes of both Horus and Seth. Thus Hatshepsut recorded upon her obelisk at Karnak Temple: ‘as I wear the White Crown, as I appear in the Red Crown, as Horus and Seth have united for me their two halves, as I ruled this land like the son of Isis [i.e. Horus], as I have become strong like the son of Nut [i.e. Seth]’. Strong and cunning go together.”
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
