Women increased their share in occupations where they are majority (nurses, teachers, social work), jobs that don't pay as well as other professional jobs. 80% in 2023 vs. 77% in 1980. Women are still only 38% of majority-male professional jobs vs 23% in 1980.

Women are a rising share of U.S. managers and professionals
In 2023, 46% of all managers in the U.S. were women. This is up from 29% in 1980 but still slightly lower than the 49% of all workers who were women as of 2023.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

You can measure a society’s political freedom by how openly comedians are able to mock or satirize the government. CBS’s decision to silence Stephen Colbert, announcing the impending end of The Late Show, is another incipient sign of trouble in the United States.

Trump’s ICE is not going after the “worst of the worst.”
72% of the people they’ve detained have ZERO CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS.
It’s U.S. citizens, people with legal status, and people who have been here for decades, contributing to our country.

This term, the Supreme Court furthered LGBTQ+ erasure by allowing parents to ban books. In defiance, Justice Sotomayor included the entire “objectionable” book in her dissent—the innocence there for all to see. The internet can’t be banned. See for yourself. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
