The rise of Starbucks Workers United has energized the labor movement, as the struggle to unionize the mega-chain represents far more than baristas pitted against managers: Starbucks is a global powerhouse. Current fights at places like Starbucks will shape the labor movement for decades to come.
Why Walmart Wants to See the Starbucks Barista Strike Fail
Corporations far beyond Starbucks want to keep baristas out of unions.

We must never forget: it wasn’t just the kooky Great Barrington Declaration dudes who promoted RFK Jr & his anti-vaxx BS—it was also some magazines, like The New Yorker, which celebrated him as a “maverick” who would take on “the establishment”

For all his unfounded beliefs and suspicions, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,’s revolt isn’t against research but against the power long held by scientific insiders—and in this he might have a point, Daniel Immerwahr writes.
R.F.K., Jr., Anthony Fauci, and the Revolt Against Expertise
It used to be progressives who distrusted the experts. What happened?

Every outlet that ever paid her needs to self-reflect on their entire concept of journalism. Because she’s a lousy writer and a mediocre mind, yet quickly became celebrated as a star in their industry. What does her exposure say about them and the state of modern political reporting and commentary?

The nation’s freight railroads are going to be able to try relying more on technology and inspect their tracks less often after the federal government approved their waiver request on Friday.
Railroads will be allowed to reduce inspections and rely more on technology to spot track problems

The details are gross both aesthetically and morally, but Nuzzi played a consequential role in the ending of a sitting president’s re-election bid. Even if you don’t include her role in RFK then getting DHHS, that alone is worth discussing

Don’t even pretend that it’s a credible arbiter. Constantly remind everyone that changing the number of justices has precedent, while not giving an appointee a hearing or replacing a justice who had died right before an election didn’t have.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Trump's Jan 6 pardons were so sweeping and vague that DOJ now claims they decide who they cover.
There’s no modern precedent — and maybe no historical precedent, either — for a president to delegate his pardon power to subordinates on a pardon this vaguely worded.

She might not understand why that’s a question she needs to answer, but we should help her figure it out.

People think this is about whether she helped RFK's campaign but it's really about whether she helped Trump's. She was helping her boyfriend (or whatever the fuck he was) get a role in the Trump administration while writing about the election.
