#art #history: double diaboliques for connoisseurs of french cinema - & particularly simone signoret (born #otd in 1921), who was never afraid of risking her career to stay true to her endeavours in left-wing activism, human rights & social justice. she & her husband, yves montand, often showed solidarity with activists & striking workers by physically turning up to demonstrations to support them. [A SHORT THREAD]

solidarity
Today, like many other West Australian teachers, I'm not going to work this morning.
It's interesting that our industrial action is represented in the media as about pay. We're not striking over salary - we're striking because the system is broken.
My son has had no Phys Ed teacher all year. He's had a procession of relief teachers which, for a special needs child, is extremely distressing. He attends an inner city public school, but staffing shortages are statewide.
Speaking of special needs students, I'd like to look after my own without having to skip lunch to ensure their needs are met.
I'd like the Education Department to give me a personal device so I can do my job
(more efficiently). If I want a laptop, I have to lease one.
I'd like an acknowledgement of how teaching has recently become more difficult and demanding, especially during #COVID19, when we kept schools open and tried to keep students safe.
I enforced the mask mandate far more often than a rank-and-file police officer. I've probably been threatened and assaulted more times than many police officers too. And the statewide mobile phone ban? Guess who enforces that every single day.
So many of my colleagues have left teaching: re-trained or resigned due to burnout and stress. Who suffers? The students.
It's not about the pay. We're tired, and we need support. We're underfunded and under-resourced. We need to improve conditions for students. We need to fix the system.

For those new to following me here, here's the #speech I delivered in #solidarity with #Gaza #Palestine in #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland in front of #BCgovernment legislature buildings
I call out the #farce of self declared true #democratic states in my speech & how our #governments tell us there ain't enough funds to help citizens but they can find billions to fund #EthnicCleansing of Palestinians.

Whoa! It seems like Trump may have messed up by lying about the crowd size at last week's #Detroit rally, where #UAW members were out in force. Their president, Shawn Fain, just dropped a scorching ad going after him and his billionaire overlords. Never in my life have I seen anything like this before. #HarrisWalz2024 #Solidarity #UnionStrong
UAW Says It Knows How to Defeat Trump & Billionaire Class

There is only one answer to the threat we face as a nation. The answer is solidarity.

New year, new country, new #introduction. Having obtained my #PhD in #computationalmusicology in 🇨🇭 last year, I am now pursuing an academic career in #musicresearch in Linz 🇦🇹. Most music genres and styles have fantastic specimens but I seem to have a general preference for the extremes, be it #deathmetal, #hardtechno, or completely bonkers #ContemporaryMusic. Politically I'm a violent, radical extremist for #solidarity, #cooperation, and #HumanRights. Favourite vegetable: #hokkaido squash
When #SHTF, I'm sure you will need #community, #solidarity and stable #relationships at a local level a little more than you'll need a 2y supply of freeze-dried meals.
Though it can't hurt to download #books and #information now that you once believed would be treasured as heritage of humankind – and never be burned, or rewritten to suit the needs of fanatics with fragile egos.
Start here:
Today is the first day of Black History Month here in the US. Right as we're watching our government begin the erasure of minorities out of existence.

These attempts won't work as long as we commit to standing up for each other and lifting up marginalized voices.

Margaret Sullivan says she asked friends and relatives in various locations what kind of reporing their local media did about the massive worldwide protests Saturday against Trump:
"Quick answer: Not close to what it deserved."
Then she did her own research, and found:
"In the Wall Street Journal, the story’s placement was the 20th most important."

Imagine Poilievre (sycophant; zero experience/credibility) in that role (optionally w. Trumpist Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wrapped around Trump's feet, purring away).
