These strikes actually were β€œpreemptive” in so far as they preempted Congress being able to vote on the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution

Great new book on how people of color have to conform with assumptions of how we should act bc we are so often punished for authenticity

Re-upping this in light of the EEOC ignoring Bostock and its own precedent to say a federal employee in Kansas can’t use a bathroom that corresponds with her gender identity simply because she’s trans. Disgraceful but I’m grateful for Commissioner Kotagal continuing to dissent and uphold the law

Texan Allegedly Bullied Over His Skin Color Appeals To SCOTUS In the spirit of San Jacinto, Warden’s case represents a key battle over a new frontier: racism against white people.

FYI the deputy ag for civil rights on DOJ’s bs suit against UCLA for alleged antisemitism rocketed to his position from counsel after just 9 months. Before DOJ, he worked on cases like this that were so absurd even the Fifth Circuit dismissed it

Many workers have missed shifts without jobs being destroyed making it challenging to measure labor impacts with conventional sources.

We use real-time daily data from Homebase to measure impacts. Thanks to UChicago and Homebase for making the data available.

At tonight’s SOTU, Trump will toss out cherry-picked numbers. But they miss the point. The real question is simple: are working people better off than a year ago? On what shapes daily lifeβ€”prices, paychecks, and job securityβ€”the answer is no.
