In one year, Trump has poisoned our information environment and broken a lot of institutions that mistakenly believed they were powerful.

Also true: the future is unwritten, in our hands, and anyone who says that we're doomed is effectively an enemy.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

CBS Evening News says it's in Pittsburgh tonight. But it's not.

This is the Mon Valley Works in West Mifflin, PA -- 9 miles from Pittsburgh proper, where NBC Nightly News broadcast last month.

Even as it promoted a piece on Pittsburgh's tech renaissance, it sticks to the old Steel City playbook.

It's been six months since the last round. This company hasn't known what it's doing for a long time, and getting rid of the DEI team screams it's about to be sold off. Solidarity to my former colleagues forever 🌺
Another year, another round of layoffs at Vox Media. In solidarity with our laid-off colleagues, here is our full statement:

For every ICE arrest that draws a crowd with cameras and whistles, there are an untold number happening quietly when no one is watching.
These are the arrests you’re not seeing • Minnesota Reformer

RELEASE: The PG’s announced shutdown does not exempt it from the ruling or its obligation to pay workers what they are owed.

That liability continues to accrue until the Post-Gazette restores the previous, contractually bargained terms.

just wondering why the PG still has a paywall up and is accepting new subscribers, and a banner ad for "top Pittsburgh workplaces" links to a page that references a September event. No mention on the "about us" page that they're pulling the plug in May. www.post-gazette.com/about

The great @usefulnoise.bsky.social made a request that we all write something about what life in Minnesota is like for folks who live elsewhere or might be outside our normal neighbothis-Bluesky footprint. So I went to cursed Facebook and wrote this. Maybe it will help you share your own thoughts.
