"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day as early as 2027, with a likely window within 9-20 years after 2023. This won’t bring dramatic change overnight, but it marks a fundamental shift in the Arctic’s natural environment—a stark warning about climate change. #ActOnClimate

@wyden.senate.gov -- “Conservative, liberal, and nonpartisan media all depend on speaking to sources without fear of being spied on by government officials who want to suppress unflattering information.”

NEW: Legislation that would bar the United States government from spying on journalists—except under rare, specific circumstances—is currently stalled in Congress.

Now, with only weeks left to legislate, press advocates are urging Senate Democrats to pass the bill, known as the PRESS Act.
Senate Democrats Are Running Out of Time to Pass a Shield Law to Protect Journalism
The PRESS Act, which would protect journalists from government spying, enjoys broad bipartisan support and has passed the House—but it’s unclear whether the Senate will take it up.

Amtrak is hiring an Associate General Counsel in either Washington, DC or Philadelphia for construction procurement. It's Amtrak, so it's covered by (you guessed it) railroad retirement.
