Migrant workers accounted for 61% of jobs growth between 2019 and 2024, says CSO

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

The Rebel Army, now on Bluesky! 👋🏼 Last week, we announced that we’re no longer posting on X. We’re still active on all of our other channels, as well as now regularly posting here on Bluesky. Repost this post so that City fans and football fans in general know where to find us ✅ 🙏🏼

I think the best way to enjoy this list, which contains lots of predictable choices (made as it was by committee), is to find a book you like, click to see who voted for it, and then look at the voters' other top 10 choices. You might find something else you like that you haven't read.

Excited to be coming back to the Frontline Club to talk about my new book 'This is Also a Love Story', with @leilama.bsky.social on May 28. It's somewhere I loved going when I lived in London. I'm also happy to answer questions on turning journalism into books www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-talk-...

Some in the German government have suggested moving away from Signal to other "secure" messengers. That's the wrong lesson. Signal's core security remains excellent. This would be like banning email just because some people got phished.
