Mamdani aside, it’s results across the Hudson River in New Jersey that show MAGA is in deep shit. In counties like Passaic looking like Hispanic support has completely collapsed & reversed only a year later. Dem Mikie Sherrill won governor far better than expected. www.latintimes.com/latinos-sour...

This is rotten news: Teen Vogue had become a touchstone for independent political coverage--just like a publication for young women should be.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

After Hurricane Beryl devastated Jamaica’s grid last year, officials at the island’s sole utility vowed to fortify it. But the company’s initiatives were only in the planning + early implementation stages when Hurricane Melissa hit.

This is deranged and dangerous from the Conservatives, and similarly from Reform. If they could enact it, it would rip British society apart, destroy the economy & NHS, & make the UK an international pariah. Every decent politician & political journalist/commentator needs to push back hard.
The draft legislation is crackers. It would fail immediately if we stayed in the ECHR but it disappears the human rights act. if passed after that it would involve mandatory loss of ILR for up to 400,000 people + refusal of 2-3 million others, though without no credible means to identify or remove
Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

Love this story in Editor and Publisher on innovative website Adopt a Station, showing how much public media TV and radio stations relied on federal funding. No surprise, many of those most dependent serve rural, indigenous and Black communities. READ: https://loom.ly/oY2Jmt0
After Congress yanks $1.1B from CPB, a one-page site starts saving stations - Editor and Publisher
When lawmakers rescinded $1.1 billion in public media funding, hundreds of local NPR/PBS outlets — especially rural and Indigenous stations — were pushed to the brink. Enter Adopt-A-Station, a simple dashboard that spotlights the most at-risk outlets and turns clicks into gifts; in its first month, it drew 40,000 visitors and funneled donors directly to stations like KTNA in Alaska — proof that a lean tool can move real money, fast.

Boy, y'all better hope the revolution never kicks off given that you're sticking all these vital data centers in the south to poison black people.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.
