Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

In 1944 #FDR projected an #EconomicBillofRights and labor unions campaigned for it. Labor must renew the fight for working people today!

Borage says VOTE YES RETAIN OUR JUDGES.

PA's rule of law is on the ballot this November. Turn your ballot over ↪️ and vote YES to retain every single statewide judge. They've all done good work protecting our right to vote, abortion, unions, and other important things!

“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions executives at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment.

For more than 20 years I relied on the MMWR for news every week on what was going on, disease-wise, around the country. You often got excellent blow-by-blows about disease outbreaks.

We love you, Chicago! 💔

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Detroit! one of the founding teams of the mlb, deep roots in the city for over 125 years (Seattle are newbies by comparison).

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started.

With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

Authorities said 19 people are dead or missing after a massive blast obliterated a building at a Tennessee explosives facility on Friday. The early morning explosion was felt as far as 15 miles away.

I continue to silently fume that REBUILD does not get money thrown at it based on all of the work that the team is and has been doing over the years. It's a struggle every single year to raise the necessary money to keep the program going. This year is even more difficult.

President Donald Trump traveled for an unusual second trip to Walter Reed Medical Center. CNN's Alayna Treene reports from the White House.

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Immigrant Parents Confront Fear, Uncertainty Over Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Threats Families share how Trump’s threat to end birthright citizenship turned moments of joy into doubt about their children’s futures.

For many families, the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict birthright citizenship have turned what should've been the happiest moments — the birth of a new child — into a time of stress and uncertainty.

We won't back down from defending the 14th Amendment.

This Bay Area County Says It Cut Ties with ICE. This Program Says Otherwise. A widespread data-sharing program highlights financial ties between local police and immigration enforcement—and how even sanctuary jurisdictions still feed “the deportation machine.”

A widespread data-sharing program with ICE supports local and state budgets nationwide—even in so-called sanctuary cities and states that forbid certain law enforcement cooperation and information sharing with ICE.
