Job quality is a policy decision: Better jobs can spur higher labor force participation for both men and women Although there have been tremendous strides toward gender equity over the last few generations, it remains the fact that women and men tend to work in different types of jobs. The differences have nar...

If we want more people to participate in the labor force, we need to offer better jobs

Jobs with higher wages, better benefits, & better working conditions can draw both men & women into the labor force, says EPI's @elisegould.bsky.social & @hilwething.bsky.social:

Well said.

City Council presses Beltline on future of rail transit — Center for Civic Innovation At the Council’s Community Development Committee meeting, Atlanta Beltine CEO Clyde Higgs was questioned about the status of rail transit along the corridor . Higgs noted Eastside rail remains uncert...

Goodness gracious: Atlanta BeltLine CEO Clyde Higgs appears to have told City Council that his decision to participate in Mayor Andre Dickens' scheme to overturn a voter-approved transit expansion referendum was “made for future generations, 'not what feels good in the next three years.'”

What is it like to be burdened with such genius and vision? To be a Cassandra of our time?

Latin superstar Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl halftime show next year. The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced Sunday that the Grammy winner will perform at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8.

Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl halftime show next year.

Absolutely.

I’m not going to take a side in two greedy billion-dollar entities fighting over money, I’m just going to be glad it means we got Bad Bunny instead of Swift.

We are edging close to an argument that all left public figures need to think like political strategists first, constantly measuring the impact of their work on the Democratic Party's electoral prospects. We saw that frame used against racial justice protesters in 2020-22; Gaza protesters in 2024.

But we know this about Klein, he’s a shill. He’s ardently supporting maintaining capitalism even at its conclusion which can be fascism. Klein and the Dems don’t know how to win and don’t want to learn because the answer is antithetical to how they function

The argument has always been “we need to be more centrist”, not to get more votes, but to make their corporate donors and NIMBY voters happy. Racial justice and ending genocide is financially not a vibe for them either.

haunting statement

And yet they’re still kidnapping people in the streets and sending troops on to terrorize cities. Most fascist dictators don’t rise to power due to popular support, their power comes from weak opposition.

Cops gonna cop

I’m glad that Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air, so are we directing this energy for Mahmoud Khalil?

Pressure Boycott: Nexstar and Sinclair 🧠 This Isn’t About ABC, FOX, or NBC

If anyone has started listing nexstar/sinclair advertisers, please share. Looking to add them to this pressure boycott guide (main boycott guide with all targets still pinned to my feed and updated daily). This part is specifically sinclair/nexstar.

We failed to do that in the US as they censured Pro-Palestine support. Now we’re fighting even harder.

They serve the same bosses. Being Pro-Israel is good for corporations bottom line. The state and these parties (liberal and conservative) function to protect property and money. It’s our job to hold them to account.

The average voter isn’t going to care much about liberals screaming about fascism if they’re doing the same thing to Palestine Action members.

Respectfully, this is Kier Starmer erasure. As an American, if you don’t acknowledge the fascist tendencies of your liberal politicians, you’ll fall into the same trap we did.

His viewership is up. And now they boycott has turned to Sinclair. Folks are sharing the list of advertisers. It’s not over, but it is absolutely still happening.

Their business model is based more on market dominance than actual quality. People will realize they don’t need Disney

I kind of agree, but trust has been broken with some folks. They are going to take a perpetual hit from this. Like, Target, they’ll be a lesson to other companies. Boycotts teach people what they do and don’t need.

I don’t have an alternative suggestion, but yeah,
people are supportive of it when they’re provided they context. I do like “defund the police” cause that’s what I want to do. I want to make them and prisons irrelevant

I made a sign at a protest that said “Defund the police” and it had a pie chart of our cities budget. The bottom said “Give the schools back their money”. Had some great conversations about it.

I support this

This is why I maintain only 5 followers, keeps me sharp. Only the best skeets for all 4 of my followers.

I’m gonna dispute this. If Tylenol causes autism, you should be driving the train.

I just post a picture of Fred Hampton.
