  • I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work?

    Jump

  • Tough, I just heard about it through word of mouth. You can try web searches but it will be hard because most coops are consumer coops which won't necessarily have the same democratic rights for workers.

  • Damn that sucks. I bet there is one somewhere though, they may not have all of them listed in once place. Just as an example there is one not far from where I live that isn't on that map.

  • The richest 1% just used an entire year’s worth of carbon in around one week of 2026

  • I'm not sure why that's so different than the numbers in the oxfam study. Your numbers are after tax but I wouldn't necessarily assume people are paying 50% of their income in taxes.

  • Talking to other people who work there and reading reviews can help. But the real issue is hierarchical management style is always going to be vulnerable to abuse by bad actors because your managers have near total power over you.

    In the private sector the solution is worker's coops. I'm not sure what it would be called in the nonprofit world but there are likely more democratically run organizations in a similar vein.

    Another alternative is finding somewhere with a strong union. Unions can also be toxic in some ways but usually far less so than normal work power dynamics.

  • It's being recorded and the world is watching. It will be in some history books but who will have access to those books is a bigger question.

  • Why is SDF integration desirable?

  • Trump says he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland

    Jump

  • I don't think that's totally accurate. A lot of those are just not paying attention and annoyed with the economy, so they just punish whoever is in power. That said there are tens of millions who are really that deluded and hateful and I don't know what to do with them. Let me them form their own little autonomous territories maybe, I'm not sure.

  • New Evidence Reveals Renee Good Was Still Alive When ICE Blocked Medic

    Jump

  • So basically this proves every ICE agent on the scene was an accomplice.

  • Trump backs away from using Insurrection Act in Minneapolis after repeating threat to take action amid ICE protests – live

    Jump

  • Better perhaps but still a weak case. The j6 riot was a singular event that was handled by normal law enforcement. The insurrection act in my opinion shouldn't exist but to the extent that it has a purpose it's for like civil wars or other ongoing situations where the feds have lost control over entire regions for a period of time.

  • It's not MAGA who I'm hoping will act. A massive coalition of leftists, run of the mill liberals or even non-maga conservatives needs to form and remove Trump from power.

  • I hope he does it. The people need to feel some pain to motivate us to put a stop to this madness, unfortunately.

  • Chances are... maybe.

    The threshold they used for this is around 150k. So I'm guessing some lemmings might exceed this, but probably a minority? Not sure what our income distribution looks like. I definitely don't make this much.

    However, they use an average for the category to calculate emissions. The average for the global 1% is 400k/year. While I'm sure there might be a small number on Lemmy who make that much, that's a lot of money.

    However, this is also a global average. So if you're in a nation (such as the USA) that has higher than typical carbon emissions, your lifestyle might involve emissions beyond the typical person with your income. The annual carbon budget was about 2 tons, so that's the benchmark here. For myself, I probably exceed this annually but I doubt if I do in the first few weeks of the year.

    So yeah it's pretty complicated. I think the question is more: are we committing ourselves adequately to political struggle? And are there carbon intensive luxuries we can easily eliminate to make a large difference in our carbon budget?

  • Trump Wants to Halt Almost All Coal Plant Shutdowns. It Could Get Messy.

    Jump

  • The irony here is that utilities and states that have been dragging their feet on closing their coal plants might get hammered by these costs to keep them open. Meanwhile those who have long since closed their plants will be unaffected. I'll be curious to see how this affects electricity prices.

  • Too real this shit is fucking dystopian. Hope you're also staying informed on what your local community is doing to fight back against this, and then joining them. Just watching it all unfold by yourself is going to destroy your mental health. Taking action with friends and community will help both the country and your own well-being.

  • The article said that.

  • Yeah but radio waves? From a backpack-sized device? Do you really think this could cause those kinds of symptoms?

    Sounds more like the government got scammed but since it's useful propaganda they'll just run with it.

  • Federal officer shoots person in leg after being attacked during Minneapolis arrest, AP source says

    Jump

  • We know they lie brazenly even when it's all on video so this should be immediately rejected unless there's evidence it happened that way.

    That said, we are in a moment where defensive violence is very clearly ethically justified, if perhaps not always tactically wise.

  • Lemmings love the downvote button way too much for some reason so I try not to worry too much about it anymore.
