If Amazon spent half as much energy respecting workers as it does fighting unions, we'd all be having a different conversation.

Music is not a luxury here. It is proof that we are still alive. Two young women. Two banduras. One bench in a Ukrainian city. They played. People stopped. No one said a word. hfu.org

SCOTUS refused to hear E. Jean Carroll. So it’s official: he is a predator.

Susan Collins is REFUSING to debate Graham Platner. Shocking? Not really. When you’ve spent years dodging accountability, why start now? Maine voters see you, Senator. Time to show up. #CollinsAfraid #PlatnerForSenate

Our libraries need us! The FCC initiated a proposal that asks whether to continue the federal program that has made high-speed broadband/Wi‑Fi affordable for public libraries and schools nationwide: the FCC is threatening to terminate the E-Rate program.https://action.ala.org/campaign/saveourerate/
