In explaining how the bureaucracy works to uphold injustices the phrase “killing the messenger” has really become salient to me.
Ppl are more angry at the ones speaking up because we cant undo unjust systems overnight than those causing harm. If it were possible, there would be no need to organize

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

If a Colorado judge’s recent injunction takes effect, advocates hope it will give incarcerated people in the state a real choice about whether or not to work, without the possibility of prolonged solitary confinement as punishment for refusing.
