A new @epi.org/@laborlab.bsky.social report puts a number on something economists have long argued shapes wage outcomes more than almost any other structural variable: employer spending on union avoidance.

Over 20 varieties of Christianity. One (1) Islam. One (1) Judaism.

Folks will say anything to try to stop the city from installing a bike lane or making some other road improvement in their neighborhood — but that doesn’t mean they’re right. More often than not, they’re dead wrong.

House bill rolls back food aid for pregnant women, children www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

You put everything that's cool on the cover and want to tell people to fight back?

Fascism is rising across the globe and this is y’all’s concern? Lmao

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

My God, are these people this stupid? Or are they just trained seals repeating Trump's most ridiculous lies? And where the fvck is the press? Why does no one ever call them out on this obvious falsehood? Utter failure to let this keep passing.

The Blacks. We love him. He's helping us with the Black jobs.

Patrick Bet-David pretends to be ignorant, but actually he's a nasty MAGA.

This is a weird article and I’m not going to link to it. It sounds like it was written five years ago. I am so fucking tired. “Because whether “superdodgers” are rare biological outliers or simply lucky…” Yeah luck, indeed. “Given up travel” like I didn’t get shunned from society. Fuck you.

A new op-ed in the Washington Times finally says the quiet part out loud: Fascism demands sexual repression. "Pornography corrodes the exact social foundation that supports national strength... A society marked by loneliness, weakened families and diminished social trust becomes brittle."

The Republicans honored a person whose only claim to fame was murdering a Black man in broad daylight. But hey, they're not racist!

Trump Tells Aides He Won’t Resume All-Out War With Iran Unless He Changes His Mind ~Translated By Peter Collinson

I feel bad for kids fed this by their parents. But the rest, even if they got sick.....not so much. idahocapitalsun.com/briefs/nearl...

Gonna take a wild stab and say it’s the raw milk.

Un-FREAKING-believable the State is now in the business of protecting raw milk producers responsible for sickening Idahoans 🤬

Especially heinous given that bad dental health can have a catastrophic effect on overall health. Cardiac health can be tied to dental health.

"He's not going to have many mourners and I think he knows that. And it drives him insane."

1/2 "Proof of life" — oh, damn. 💀😆 Barely though: slumped, drained & slurring Grandpa Chaos looks wheeled out. The only energy was saved for when Kaitlin Collins & CNN; Trump can't wait for CNN to come under WH "control." 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

For real. Like @jessicacalarco.com says, “other counties have safety nets. The U.S. has women.”

Care work is often treated as somehow less "real" than making tangible goods. Nonsense. It's physically demanding, emotionally demanding, and often highly skilled. That's real work, mate.⁣ ⁣ Check out the full analysis here: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/the-pink-collar-economy-is-here⁣

And it’s why such a huge percentage of older women are living in poverty. Lower wages = not being able to save as much and less paid into social security.

This is a creepy, undignified and defamatory statement. She is a professional reporter. She doesn’t need to smile. She doesn’t need to shut up and look pretty while he dodges questions about everything from Epstein to Iran to Private Citizen Kushner negotiating things.

Trump attacking Kaitlan Collins: CNN's a very corrupt organization, with a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles. Young, beautiful woman, never smiles. I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing with such hatred in her eyes.

“Well, I did go out with him a few times; in fact, a few of the Go-Go's went out with him. We passed him around.” Belinda Carlisle on Rob Lowe

TRUMP: Be quiet. You should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be a conservative from Alabama. KAITLAN COLLINS: I'm still from Alabama.

I like this position on transit. But he should be careful with the phrase "riding the D." Not that there's anything wrong with that.

MADELEINE DEAN: How many people were killed simply trying to access food sites in Gaza? RUBIO: Well, since Hamas killed them, you should ask what their role was DEAN: IDF soldiers shot some of them. Propaganda ain't gonna work with me

FWIW the notion that POC NYers don't support livable streets has always been ridiculous to me. It just never matched my lived experience growing up in Brooklyn. As advocates we need to do a better job bringing the message to communities in ways that naturally resonate-- bc the ideas are popular!

Chloe Cole receives $2k/month as a "senior fellow" with Do No Harm. She gets paid $5k/month per speaking engagement. She makes $200k/year doing this. It's insane just how much money is flowing through the anti-trans ecosystem. www.erininthemorning.com/p/chloe-cole...

Very interesting interactive report on dog poop in Manhattan from the office of @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social mbp-bhs.github.io/manhattan-do...

For the 2014 World Cup, Fifa forced Brazil to revoke its law banning the sale of alcohol in stadiums. In 2026, it allows the US pick and choose which players get to take part.

We're going to be mighty unpopular if we keep this up.

The far right are openly organising things like this on twitter, the social media app where journalists spend their entire working day. Wonder if anyone will make the link

I called it last month. acasignups.net/26/05/12/bre...

This is a good headline. No sanitizing. The facts are clear. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

It's ridiculous that police departments make up around 30-50% of the average municipality's budget, but those same police look at you like you're stupid if you ever ask them to investigate a crime.

The premiums for the coverage are astronomical! People are spending thousands of dollars a month for health insurance and you think they’re the criminals!

White supremacists are the origin of terrorism in the US and the US media has always been covering it up.

Congrats to Janette Sadik-Kahn on being picked for the @mta.info board by @mayor.nyc.gov! Janette's a great choice for serving NYC and its transit riders. Kudos!

Just total bullshit meant to steal health care from millions

L - The piece I filed R - The pitch I emailed

I yearn for when centrist Democrats stop equating “moderating for votes” with “shitting on trans people.”

"this guy using AI to make himself look more buff is just like what trans people do lol"
