Okay everybody get in close. Shriek can you duck down a little? The top of your—no that’s too far. Up a little. Too high—just—no fine hold it there. Spider-Man look at the camera, not Venom. Spider-Man can you—just look right over here. Right at the lens. Just—okay never mind. Everybody say cheese

Meet me at that fish that has the tortured souls of jazz musicians trapped in it.

38% of Twin Cities residents protested ICE and/or provided support to immigrant neighbors during the occupation. That's BANANAS but also tracks with everything I've seen on the ground. (And that's not evenly distributed. I would guess that in some neighborhoods, it was pushing 50%.)

the cool thing about being a detroit tigers fan born after their last World Series victory is that you don’t really have to shift mindset much when the team is in “losing streak” mode kind of the default tbh

DON’T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME, MEGAMAN!!!!

"The instruments to punish women with shame and humiliation may have changed, but the instinct to punish has not. When the law cannot tolerate the unknown of pregnancy, it turns to blame."

I hate that contract negotiations are not going better, but this is where we are. Today my colleagues and I @propublica.org are walking out. We need management to come to the table with more serious contract proposals that address our real concerns about discipline, job protections and fair wages.

We had hoped management would work with us to reach a deal on Monday, but they refused to compromise with our union. So today I’m on strike with my colleagues trying to fight for a fair disciplinary process, equal pay & protection against AI related layoffs. Stand with us by not sharing or reading

I love my job. I believe in ProPublica's mission. I have so much work to do today on a story that should publish soon. But today, I'm on strike with my colleagues at the @propublicaguild.org. Hoping we get over the finish line SOON on our very first contract -- and a fair one.

Barnette was one of the most important judges in the state, as the Chief Judge of Hennepin County. While head of the Charter Commission, he paved the way for the government restructure consolidating all the City's operational power under Frey. This job was always intended to be a high-paid sinecure.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...
