Twenty years ago, U.S. tech companies arrived in Ireland eager to set up their European headquarters in an English-speaking country with beneficial tax rates and an educated workforce. What have they done for the people of Ireland? @jesstraynor.bsky.social asks: www.thedial.world/articles/new...

I just want to say there are a lot of journalists and writers who do real, incredible work on topics that matter while maintaining high standards. Many of them do not have stable employment or recognition from major institutions.

Dana Williamson, Newsom’s former chief of staff, was a longtime Sacramento political fixture before her arrest today on federal corruption charges: www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

The arrest of Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff is getting the headlines But my phone is suddenly blowing up with messages about Sean McCluskie, who served as HHS chief of staff to Becerra during the Biden years, and was not always a popular figure in the building

Will be on CNN’s “The Story” tonight at 10p PST talking about today’s indictment

BREAKING: former Newsom chief of staff Dana Williamson arrested in FBI corruption probe www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

New: The family of a man who died after he was found unresponsive in the jail has filed a lawsuit. He died in August of a drug-related cause. The Sheriff's Office did not announce it to the public. With @emmahall.bsky.social www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

NEW: Kim Davis is done. The Supreme Court is not reconsidering Obergefell. What happens now? There is a reason people were afraid that the Supreme Court would take up case. The reason is the Supreme Court itself. Here's why I'm taking this whole experience seriously. Today, at Law Dork:

So glad this guy’s self-help twaddle is getting shredded.

BOOK COVER REVEAL DAY 🦪 🍸 🥂 www.aliciakennedy.news/p/on-eating-...

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Gavin Newsom said Dems "rolled over" in the Senate shutdown deal, squandering their Election Day wins. <24 hours ago, he was in Texas crowing about the party's "resurgence": www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

Maybe it's time to reconsider a monastic lifestyle

me when i’m trying to talk plato out of it

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates. In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Wow this is a really cool little app

I need a Curtis Sliwa Grub Street Diary and I suspect I'm not alone @nymag.com

Shitty salaries killed journalism, too. When the people who can most afford to be journalists in expensive cities are the children of the wealthy, you get people who might let people in their lofty social circle escape scrutiny.

#OtD 7 Nov 1913 in Algeria, Nobel-prize-winning author Albert Camus was born. He joined a French resistance cell during WWII and later edited their newspaper. But while opposed to French brutality in Algeria he didn't support an end to colonialism stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1073...

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

noirvember kickoff with @liaoffleash.bsky.social. ready for barbara stanwyck to top me.

Exclusive BDN Opinion from U.S. Rep. Jared Golden: "What I could accomplish in this increasingly unproductive Congress pales in comparison to what I could do in that time as a husband, a father and a son."

I believe this is the first time I have seen "Good luck, losers" in a subhed in The Sacramento Bee

12 hours after CA voters overwhelmingly passed #Prop50, the state GOP is suing to overturn it, arguing it favors Latino voters over others. Dhillon Law Group partner Mike Colombo points to Latinos making up 40% of the state population and therefore, there was “no voting rights prob to solve” before

first day in Mamdani's new york. I have already been forced to change my gender

Gavin Newsom is now speaking at CA DEMs HQ speaking about #Prop50 and D wins in VA/NJ/NYC: “the Dem Party is in its ascendancy, a party that's on its toes, no longer on its heels, from coast to coast, sea to shining sea.”

AP just called it: Prop. 50 passes in California

NYC voters have vanquished Italian-American First Born Son Syndrome

Tfw you're a west coast political reporter, watching these east coast race results come in

The Hamburglar has endorsed Andrew Cuomo

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Zohran’s candidacy answers the real question of “when will it finally not be annoying to be an arsenal fan”

love this from @juliaangwin.com

British friend just cast her first vote as a citizen in the nyc mayor’s race 🥲

listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

I wrote about Daniel Kinahan and his family for @newyorker.com. The story features boxers, assassins, Hezbollah, a billion-dollar cocaine empire, the Open University, and a debonair gangster in a prison in Rome who is singing like a canary... www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Re-upping this piece once more because it was a long time in the making. But also because after he was wrongly accused by media outlets, law firms, and politicians, Silverman deserves to have as many people read about his vindication as possible.

In addition to Eric Guerra, Flo Cofer and Karina Talamantes told us they're interested in considering a run for Serna's seat. Jeff Harris has opened a fundraising committee. With @emmahall.bsky.social www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

Many of you have been watching our contract fight at the L.A. Times and asking how to help. Now's the time. Tell our managers that you'll honor the picket line if negotiations drag to a point where we're forced to call a strike. You can sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

If federal agents (ICE, CBP) commit crimes in the course of immigration or law enforcement operations, can state and local police and prosecutors charge them with a crime? Here's a deep dive into that question through the lens of one recent incident in Oakland. oaklandside.org/2025/10/29/f...

Really proud of this profile Samantha Riedel wrote of me in THEM. We talked about BLACK FLAME, DC comics firing me, Palestine, and real-life community as it relates to the internet. www.them.us/story/gretch...

About to jump in on the conversation this man is carrying via speaker phone in my doctor’s waiting room because clearly my opinion on how his cat’s vet appointment went matters too

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...
