Sharing this from #TheSELC 's Non-Profit Democracy Network https://www.theselc.org/npdn_calendar:

Have you been dreaming of building an organization with shared leadership? Do you want your organizational structure to more deeply embody your values and visions for a new world?

Join the Nonprofit Democracy Network, a project of the Sustainable Economies Law Center, for a three-part series of 30 minute participatory trainings for organizations considering the transition to shared leadership.

Topics will include assessing your organizational capacity for shared leadership (September 30), identifying and shifting power in your organization (October 21), and navigating the culture shifts needed for deep workplace democracy (Nov 18). Join with your team, or on your own! Each session will provide optional "homework" and take-home tools and resources to be used between each session to deepen your exploration of shared leadership structures.

Join one, two, or all three!

The Trump regime routinely ignores and/or breaks laws it doesn't care for. Republicans in Congress routinely approve of the lawbreaking. Judges often say no, but don't enforce their rulings. And the press says "So interesting how they break the law..." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/us/politics/trump-triumphal-arch-plans-approval.html

After Tyson abruptly closed its Joslin plant, workers didn’t go quietly.

3/7 “It might not come from pop culture, but from our culture.”

In 2012, Jude Ellison Sady Doyle reviewed how Steinem traced mass violence to hierarchies of race, gender and power, naming Columbine a “supremacy crime.”

Rather than empowering teens to create their own safe experiences, Meta's settlement largely turns that role over to their parents and ultimately to the states. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/metas-17-billion-settlement-bad-deal-teens-and-all-social-media-users

The Trump administration is arguing that imported brass instruments are a national security threat.

These claims may sound absurd, but they point to a serious problem: invoking ‘national security’ to advance policy goals while bypassing public scrutiny.

In 1969, Chicago police raided Fred Hampton's apartment and killed him. Years later, a federal appeals court found it was part of a "conspiracy designed to subvert and eliminate the Black Panther Party." #ThrowbackThursday https://inthesetimes.com/article/how-the-fbi-conspired-to-destroy-the-black-panther-party

"As MPs return to Westminster, the case for taking climate risk seriously is becoming harder to dismiss -- not because every extreme event is caused by climate change, but because the underlying pattern is shifting." - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-stephen-cumbers-93471841_2026-sep-01-as-mps-return-to-westminster-share-7500534574117060608-gnyk/

"This article explores how union negotiations in worker-owned co-ops compare to more traditional labor negotiations. The theoretical analysis addresses possible synergies between practices traditionally considered as alternative, employee ownership and collective bargaining, and the development of collective bargaining in new business models."

“Why office workers are turning against AI”

> It’s also because bosses are much less accountable for their AI use. They may use it to write emails and company memos or to experiment with task automation, but they’re not going to be disciplined or fired if there are errors or inconsistencies in that stuff.

The International Trade Union Confederation has placed the United States on its workers’ rights Watchlist, citing the loss of collective bargaining rights for more than 1 million federal workers, a disabled NLRB and the use of immigration enforcement to suppress speech and organizing.

#AI opens exciting opportunities for those NOT offering it! 🤯

Imagine a travel agency that just offers a phone number that immediately gives you a real human on the line to help you enjoy your well-earned vacation. And that you no longer have some Booking.com #LLM hellhole to wade through.

Imagine real human connection at the customer service of an online webshop, when you want to return something or have questions on a product.

Imagine government agencies having emphatic people available who care about your problems, and help you get on your way.

Imagine developer tools that just do what is on the tin and nothing more. Like they used to do before becoming AI-first.

What a delight all that will be. And you know what is most delicious? It is ALL readily available to us! 🚀

Human to human services. They rock! We can bring them to a #fediverse near you..

✊🏽 Providing safe, secure and independent internet infrastructure is not a crime. EDRi stands in full solidarity with Autistici/Inventati after the US government designated the Italian non-profit organisation as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist."

This targeting of A/I is also an attack on fundamental rights, safe and secure communications, anti-authoritarian organising and the democratic integrity of the EU.

Some random fascists dot-files instantly raises millions of dollars in funding

Earlier this week I unsubscribed from #1Password and moved to #Bitwarden... due to their donation of 300k to DHH's #Omarchy.

I made sure to let them know about the reason, so that hopefully the company would notice those kind of decisions have an impact.

Day one I got messages from their AI system.

But today I got a response by a real human at 1Password (or so it appears).

If you are curious about the company's official response to the backlash, check out the screenshot (and/or #AltText)

fellas, I'm gonna level with you. I'm starting to feel like computing in general is a series of trade-offs on how far you're willing to compromise on your morals.
