WORKER WIN: We secured $1.5 million in restitution and penalties for a wage theft scheme in DC construction.

Brothers Mechanical and its subcontractors misclassified hundreds of workers at developments in NoMa and Navy Yard.

This denied workers overtime, paid sick leave, and critical protections.

Stories about the death of Eden Knight have dropped to the second page of search results for "Michael Pocalyko," behind all sorts of generic fluff about his business and some novel he wrote. I do no know whether some concerted SEO effort was involved, but here's a link.
Rest in Peace, Eden Knight
Editor’s Note: Eden Knight (2000–2023) was a Saudi Arabian trans woman studying computer science in the United States. After her visa expired, she began the process of seeking asylum. During this time...

At the lions-commanders game a young couple sat to my right and never cheered or showed any emotion

except for when trump was onscreen, but it was positive cheering. They even stood for him and clapped

they didn’t wear any sports merch, and left immediately after trump was done talking at halftime

Trump spoke during the lions-commanders half time but it was near impossible to hear via the boos, jeers, and cheers

U.S. naval action in the Caribbean should just be called Hegseth’s War, as it’s just a hyper personalized affair in which Hegseth kills random people to assert some idea of masculinity

It seems the general public doesnt care it’s going on, both for and against.

It’s funny he set up an political identity of being a tough macho man from being being a kicker, arguably the least macho position in football

its even funnier that he has been growing increasingly shit at his one job
don’t want that hilarious game-winning drive to overshadow that harrison butker booting the ball out of bounds set the whole thing up

My hometown has now made it onto the BBC world news homepage 3 times in my lifetime

1: One of the first school book bans
2: Racist incident

every party or organization that nigel farage has touched has collapsed or struggled due to infighting or mismanagement

and he essentially just used racism to help win the brexit vote

there is no secret sauce

yet both britain’s right and left have completely gutted themselves to emulate farage

After some major bout of political violence, media organizations like the BBC are always quick to write about how both sides are “fanning the flames”, despite that not really being true

yet again, after Kirk’s murder we see dem leaders call for calm while the trump and vance call for “retribution”

in exchange for the GNU loosening its control of some airports

it’s the first major sign of an actual deal

I would like to say that it’s a weirdly unique experience that the creator of famed television show “Father Ted” told me to kill myself, but in reality i’m pretty sure he has said that to every trans person on social media
