lol at the idea the group that actively opposes the Lily Ledbetter fair pay act and paid family and medical leave is left-wing

Every story out of Dilley makes me think of Rep. McIver asking DHS officials: "Do you think you're going to hell?"

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published Feb. 2025)

Federal immigration officials plan to spend $38.3 billion to boost detention capacity to 92,600 beds, a document released Friday shows, as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement quietly purchases warehouses to turn into detention and processing facilities.

Happy to see Yale taking this step. Let’s hope they fire him. Can’t imagine a woman feeling safe or evaluated fairly in his class. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

Proud to join @nwlc.org in telling the EEOC to stop its attack on trans workers. Preventing trans people from accessing sex segregated spaces does nothing to make women safer at work, but the EEOC’s abdication of its core mission to pursue an ideological agenda hurts ALL women

5 YEARS OF CANCEL ME DADDY ARE IN THE BOOKS! This week we ring in our anniversary with former co-host Oliver and break down how media figures have grifted off the moral panic. Catch it first right now on YouTube! The audio version will be out tomorrow morning! youtu.be/ByGV4XHGHH0

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

Not all U.S. cities - DC is still occupied.

With the EEOC following Stephen Millers’ priorities subpoenaing Nike, reminder nearly 70% of Nike’s director level or higher employees are white. Is it discrimination against white workers or an administration that sees less than 70% white management as suspect? about.nike.com/en/resources...

New #jobsday #numbersday analysis from NPWF ▪️Black women’s unemployment rate is higher than last year, nearly double white women ▪️Also note a large jump in unemployment for Asian women (3.4 in Dec to 4.7) and jump for Latinas (4.5 to 4.7). Impact of 🧊? nationalpartnership.org/weak-job-mar...

This is overriding a ballot initiative approved by voters.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

This is your semi-regular reminder that unrepentant, unvarnished racism is a valid basis for impeaching a sitting president. See: Andrew Johnson

After rescinding guidance on workplace harassment, the Trump nominated EEOC chair is now calling on workers to police their coworkers gender presentation, ignoring that sex protections under employment law include gender identity. Ignoring the law harms ALL workers, and that includes cis women

It’s been 33 years since the #FMLA made history and changed workplaces for women and families. We need Congress, business leaders and advocates to make history again & win #PaidLeaveForAll We have 51 state fact sheets on what paid leave means for your state nationalpartnership.org/report/paid-...

Cool fact, workers have used #FMLA 566 MILLION times to keep their jobs while caring for their health and family members – but time off isn't always paid. As we mark the anniversary of the FMLA, it's time to talk next steps: #PaidLeaveForAll nationalpartnership.org/report/fmla-...

Since we’ve been talking about civil liability for law enforcement lately, were gonna have to deal with the Independent Contractor Exemption in the FTCA

Good explanation of how the EEOC rescinding harassment guidance now puts the full burden of navigating a complex legal field on the shoulders of employers without assistance unless they can afford to hire expert counsel, out of reach for many smaller businesses news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchan...

Workplace harassment continues to be a major problem. 1 in 3 Gen Z workers reported experiencing harassment at work in the past 5 years. Despite the urgent need for clarity and guidance, last month the EEOC eliminated guidance clarifying complex harassment laws storage.pardot.com/861881/17700...

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

Enraged by this story of a computer science professor who described a female student to Epstein as “v small good looking blonde.” Disturbing he thinks this is normal behavior, esp in a field where mentorship makes or breaks women staying in the major yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

this is excellent www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

"People don't understand it until they're in it." Having a baby in the NICU is hard enough – without access to time off work, too many NICU parents are being financially punished just for being present during this time. We need a federal solution. www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

As I said in the story, Trump’s EEOC commissioners are prioritizing certain religious beliefs over others in the name of religious liberty and contrary to the Constitution

Morning Shift reports Matt Bowman, the ADF lawyer who blocked legal abortions for unaccompanied children in Trump custody who had been raped, is now advising the agency that enforces the rights of women workers subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I interviewed Menefee in Houston in 2022 about the GOP attacks on trans rights - he was the county attorney for Harris county & had refused Paxton’s “guidance” to classify gender affirming care as “child abuse”. Now, he has won a special election for the TX house, narrowing the GOP majority

Let's be clear: The nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Fed threatens harm to American workers and families. The subdued market reaction isn’t an endorsement—w/o a majority of FOMC votes, he'd be unlikely to shift policy significantly. bit.ly/49PZleT My take 👇

ICE normally gets $10 billion in funding in a given year. In 2025, it got $75 billion to be used over the next four years. As Senate Democrats and Republicans continue to negotiate funding for ICE, we take a look at how much money the agency receives.

"When you get fired, your bills don't stop, your kids don't stop, your babies don't stop, your family at home don't stop," said our client, Willamina, who was fired by Amazon after being denied accommodations while pregnant. www.reuters.com/business/wor...

Detention centers are no place for children and families.

Trump is using ICE and CBP like a private army to abduct immigrants, silence dissent, and inflict violence. In response, Minnesotans showed the world what it means to care for your neighbor. Here's how you can support people + orgs on the ground & fight for justice: www.nilc.org/articles/how...

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Couple clarifications: I don’t think CBP should have these excessive powers anywhere. I’m also tired of rhetoric that implies it’s ok to confine their abuses to the border when the reality of the border is very different from what it means in most voters’ minds

Reminder that the border in the US extends 100 miles inland. DC is a border town. CBP asserts the power to board public transportation, set up checkpoints and stop, interrogate anyone without a warrant or reasonable suspicion

So the big win is codifying a handful of policies that supposedly governed DHS but were ignored bc of a lack of will and teeth. Zero attempt to address the actual terror being inflicted by Trump’s massive paramilitary forces

The Florida bar refuses to investigate Bondi, despite receiving numerous complaints about her numerous and clear violations of ethics rules. Really makes you question the caliber of folks who are licensed to practice law in Florida… www.americanbar.org/groups/crimi...

“They saw us all show up … & now they murdered another one of us.” In the midst of grief, chaos & multiple killings by Trump’s deportation forces, Minnesota workers take a stand, reports Ankur Singh. An estimated 50,000 people participated in Minneapolis’ citywide shutdown.

This ruling makes clear that ex post facto laws must be criminal in the penal sense in order to be invalid. If you’re wondering whether Congress could retroactively create a civil remedy for ICE agents who violate the Constitution, today’s decision only confirms that the answer is plainly yes.

Good to finally see this after years of the Atlantic trying to convince voters the existence of trans people is the greatest threat to our country

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.
