5 years after the J6 attack on the Capitol, the threat to American democracy hasn't faded, it's grown more dangerous. Political violence has surged, trust in democratic institutions has plummeted to historic lows, and leading democracy experts now classify the U.S. as an "electoral autocracy."

The President does not have power to wage war. He was already guilty of child sexual abuse & ripping the Constitution to shreds, & now, he’s a mass murderer.
Impeachment, conviction & removal are not enough. Trump & his enablers must be punished. No War in Venezuela. New York Nuremberg instead.

Per reporting- US officials confirm that the United States launched military strikes on Venezuela, these bombings serving as a hideous extension of the regime’s illegal murders at sea.

Caught Red-Cup-Handed: Why Starbucks (And All Employers) Must Provide Fair Schedules
Luckily for all of us, there are ways to improve scheduling conditions for workers. Predictable scheduling laws (or “fair workweek” laws) are designed to help workers with unstable schedules get more stability, predictability, and control over their work hours. And part-time parity laws ensure that workers can get access to the same workplace benefits whether they work part- or full-time hours.

As a library worker I can't stress enough how big of a deal this is.
Do you know how many copies of items a library system buys? It's ridiculous! And those numbers can really help authors.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

So did this. They'll obviously appeal yes. It's not a full win and I'm not foolish enough to believe they won't try to use the maps anyway.
But I'll take this small win here. Because if this holds... ooooh boy!

Most science degrees never require students to learn how to communicate their work to the public. That gap fuels confusion, mistrust, and missed opportunities to protect lives. Let's change it. Sign the petition to make communication + public engagement training a degree requirement. bit.ly/3LbnfHB
