Malicious compliance at its finest. They're *technically* complying with the new state law, but not in a way that harms the people the state law intends to harm

See yinz soon!

What was normalized in Gaza will have lasting effects on the entire world. It was a signal to the worst of humanity that they can get away with even livestreamed genocide. And we see that very genocide expanding today, and Trump joining in not under cover like Biden, but front & center.

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

I’m never gonna forget that lady not even looking at the Epstein survivors during that hearing. Enjoy your descent.

Mm-hm. It’s been right out there since Trump’s birther demagoguery — or if we’re charitable, since he came down the escalator in 2015. The MAGA project’s animating principle has been right out there for everyone with eyes to see. Shame that so many considered it gauche to notice or name it.

There’s a good documentary about Louis CK that is illuminating about the effects of his behavior and covers the essential truths (as I see them) that (1) he was not cancelled and (2) he was not sorry. It’s a good watch. You can rent it on demand; here’s the trailer. youtu.be/YjWetrSafmc?...

Mike Elk serially harasses women (and others) in the labor movement. I have been among them. Do not trust him no matter how much "good" he's claimed to do in outing predatory men in Pittsburgh labor. He's a fraud + weaponizes social justice language to cover his own well-documented abusive behavior.

Dr. Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation wrote his PhD dissertation about slavery in Louisiana. I haven't seen the connection, but looking at this I do! There's definitely something happening in the right wing for them to mirror Black women's work in this way. Vile. But they are doing it.

This is positive news for public broadcasting and journalism. A democracy needs strong, independent media, and I'm glad that Trump's attempts to keep us uninformed are being blocked. apnews.com/article/trum...

The free programs would relieve what has become an arduous burden for families in New York and across the country. It’s the first free child care program for municipal workers in the city’s history. buff.ly/5otr9Yf

19) It's a cliché to cite W. B. Yeats, but in terms of American media, it is absolutely the case that "the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." Reactionary epistemology is an inverted system in which truth is based on authority and tribe membership.

18) Right-wing elites literally believe they are in a cultural war. It's not just a metaphor. They want to extinguish all media outlets that don't worship Trump. Don't believe me? You need to pay a lot more attention to Brendan Carr. They literally want regime media.

this is doubly funny when you remember they killed the public editor position because social media was the new public editor

Research has shown that the rate of breast cancer among men has been increasing and that the disease is deadlier than for women. One study also found that breast cancer for men is “notably higher among veterans.” Read our full investigation (published Oct. 2025):

I feel genuinely flabbergasted by the defiantly anti-journalistic approach of NYT Comms here. They're saying the NYT's reporting on the stance of the American Medical Association is correct, despite the American Medical Association saying their stance is different from what NYT reported.

FKA Twigs is seeking to get out of what she says is an unlawful NDA about her relationship with Shia LaBeouf. She claims it violates California’s STAND Act, which forbids NDAs intended to silence victims of sexual harassment.

An estimated 26% of U.S. farmworkers are women, and they face disproportionate risk of sexual harassment and assault in their workplaces. In an industry where their income, housing or immigration status may depend on supervisors who perpetuate sexual violence, reporting abuse can seem like a trap.

Legacy media institutions are going to "but our objectivity!" themselves into oblivion if they don't change. They're no longer fooling a big share of audiences who are aware that it's always been unequally applied. Readers don't believe journalists who say they're 100% unbiased — because we're not!

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

Everyone who works for the NYT — including my many friends — should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement. The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.

"The best time to unionize was ten years ago. The second best time is right now." Let's do this thing. uvw-cwa.org code-cwa.org/organize

Creatives shouldn't need to give up their privacy or boundaries via a certain level of fame to have lifelong financial stability. That's simply the only way modern capitalism has allowed artists to get it. Chappell Roan understands this + it's why she's being targeted by right-wing tabloids.

MASSIVE WIN: no one wants to live in the united states anymore

On the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, America’s unions mourn the 146 lives lost on that tragic day, many of whom were immigrant women. More than a century later, the labor movement is continuing the fight to protect all workers’ safety on the job.

Personnel in heavy gear clearly marked as ICE or Homeland Security Investigations were moving through the Pittsburgh International Airport terminal this week. More here: buff.ly/qKhbOZg Video collab w/ @appalachia100.bsky.social

He doesn’t know anything about the National Labor Relations Act

If CBS wants 24/7 coverage on their streaming service, the writers, producers, graphic artists and editors who make CBS news happen need 24/7 union protections. @wgaeast.bsky.social members are ready to strike. Tell CBS executives to do right by their workers!

The New York City Council is considering a bill to allow the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development to seize buildings from landlords who have racked up housing code violations and debt from unpaid taxes and fines and turn them over to better owners. gothamist.com/news/mamdani...

Maybe we should be clearer. Jobs aren’t at risk from AI. They’re at risk from amoral shitbag short term spec capitalists using AI against a weakly unionised workforce and broken government.

every time i think we’ve officially hit the limit of the possibilities of the exonerative voice lmao

damn it’s crazy how the slurs filled the chat all by themselves. couldn’t be helped i’m sure. chats are always devolving of their own accord

what the fuck are we doing www.wsj.com/business/med...

loooooool 💀

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations. May this set a precedent. Remote work should be accessible to all who need it. It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

I love that they try to make this sound bad but the mere fact that 900 people could fund $3k per person in the middle class kinda highlights the reason it’s good

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Women: Join Unions. Run Unions. It’s a great day! @steelworkers.bsky.social @afacwa.org

This is actually unbelievable, wars are always most popular when they start and everyone already fucking hates this one Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

On the first day of Women’s History Month, I had the honor of standing in Pittsburgh as my friend Roxanne Brown made history — becoming the first woman and the first person of color elected International President of the United Steelworkers. Another glass ceiling shattered. Many more to go.

Pittsburgh's own Freedom House Ambulance Service revolutionized the way we do medicine and emergency services. I'm proud to introduce the Freedom House Ambulance Service Congressional Gold Medal Act to give the folks who paved the way for modern EMS the long-overdue recognition they deserve.

In 10 years, everyone is going to pretend they were against this, like Iraq. But they'll never escape the blackened tumor in their soul which allowed them to do this in the first place.
