DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments โ€œPeople say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,โ€ he said in 2003. โ€œI think it would be great.โ€

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over whatโ€™s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench. She's expected to rule on a request for a preliminary injunction governing the use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

Coercive Compassion: Theorizing Assisted Outpatient Treatment States across the country are adopting Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) programs at a record pace, bolstered by nearly $150 million in federal funding since

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 โ€“ the company's busiest sales day of the year.

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

Photo of NBCโ€™s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said โ€œwe should abandon the transesโ€ needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
