Oregon and Washington are considering laws to give striking workers unemployment benefits.

Oregon’s bill would make it the first state to provide pay for picketing public employees.

Washington’s would pay striking workers for 12 weeks, starting after two weeks on the line.

After mass firings, the IRS is poised to close audits of wealthy taxpayers, agents say - ICIJ The upheaval undermines the agency’s quest to tackle high-end tax cheating.

The richest 1% of Americans already account for 28% of the 'tax gap,' and this could make that much worse.

even more of a reason to invest in physical media but for e-readers take this as a sign to use libby! support local libraries and don’t let amazon steal from you.

A graphic with a quote that reads "We cannot advocate for Black lives if we are not advocating for Black trans lives." The quote is attributed to "Lala Zanell, activist, ACLU senior campaign manager" On the graphic is a photo of Lala, a Black woman speaking into a microphone at a podium, wearing a purple hat and scarf. In the bottom left is an ACLU logo, and in the bottom right reads "Black Futures Month"

LaLa Zanell advocates on behalf of LGBTQ people facing violence, from her own community all the way to Congress.

For her work as our Trans Justice campaign manager and for many other facets of her life, we celebrate LaLa and her continued fight for our communities.

A Delta plane crash landed at Toronto Pearson airport.

The craft inverted and caught fire after landing.

I don’t recall ever seeing anything quite like this before—here it is upside down on the runway:

Trans rights are human rights.

‼️ACTION ALERT

Elon Musk is threatening the jobs and livelihoods of countless federal workers. Workers are demanding

❌NO vital service cuts
❌NO mass layoffs
❌END the funding freeze

Wear red/white/blue, post photos, and speak on how you benefit from federal services on 2/19!

The key point here is "we will not obey." We need more of that from state officials. We need refusal from everyone who the administration will rely upon to work its will in the world, from governors to teachers, social workers, doctors, and other everyday people in the streets. Refusal is essential.

Don’t make me tap the sign. Strikes are supposed to be disruptive

If you see anyone talking about how the Amazon strike could disrupt the flow of packages:

We hate government waste…a LOT. Funding genocide, private prisons, you name it. Thankfully, Trump’s DOGE office is on it! And they released a new tip line to report waste!

We launched a new handy dandy email tool to help you report waste: gz4c.org/doge

Send away!

when trying to avoid fitting the stereotype turns into being a graphic designer with a nose piercing and a severe caffeine addiction.

The Mystery of Food Deserts They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

The ICC charged Netanyahu and Gallant with criminal responsibility for withholding humanitarian aid and deliberately starving a civilian population.

Meanwhile, Biden & Blinken claimed no such thing was happening. It is unreasonable to single out Netanyahu. Biden & Blinken should be charged as well
