"While the spectacle up north draws all the attention, worth remembering that one of the country's fastest growing cities has seen construction drawn to a halt by an actual truckers strike -- one that began with a single small shop and rapidly snowballed across the metro area"
"Striking concrete workers in Seattle have shut down the city’s $23 billion construction industry. The teamsters are fighting for higher wages & better health benefits for retirees. 34 workers walked out in November. Now 300+ workers at 6 companies are on a general strike."

"Trying to build a state of the art police training compound in the wake of one of the biggest anti-police movements in US history is unconscionable."

TIL that the Japanese Yakuza engage in a unique form of extortion known as sōkaiya. Instead of forcing small businesses into protection rackets, the Yakuza harass the stockholders of larger corporations.

The tragic events of Portland last night and the recent flurry of news articles claiming that Philly's homicide rate might outpace even 2021 are a stark reminder that everyone who is able needs to learn how to stop the bleeding from a gunshot wound. The anxiety that some protesters are feeling now is felt *daily* in zip codes in this city.
Whether you are "planning" (remember that choice is a huge privilege) to be in dangerous situations or not, learning to stop bleeding safely is *vital. If you have resources get yourself a tourniquet and more importantly, get one for a friend or neighbor who doesn't have the resources.
Remember, no one is closer to an emergency than the people in the emergency. We protect us and that means everyone.
