Recognizing this, the National Writers Union (@thenwu.bsky.social) backed this recent statement from the National Labor Network for Ceasefire. It rightly frames the detention of Mahmoud Khalil and other violations of First Amendment Rights as attacks on all workers.

i really can't figure out why hochul hasn't given adams the boot. everyone in this city despises him. he has no political future. he's a drain on the democratic party. tell him to go back to his house in new jersey and everyone wins!!!

it's your boy again, once again respectfully tapping the "support worker-owned, independent media" sign
My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
