Unions aren’t just good for workers—they also benefit communities and democracy
Rebuilding worker power by strengthening unions is not just good policy—it is a democratic imperative in the face of authoritarian backsliding.

Tolerance of, let alone support for, extrajudicial executions doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens in societies where such killing has been normalized. In America, not only is it accepted, the government itself gets in on the action. My column: www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/12/o...

I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don't think
I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.

The CFPB is a shining example of efficiency, returning nearly $20 billion to the victims of financial fraud since 2011. Trump-supporting billionaires want to scrap the agency to pad their own pockets. Holding financial scammers accountable isn't inefficient — it's common-sense.

In Sudan, the world’s largest humanitarian crisis has left more than 11 million displaced and 25 million at risk of starvation. Sudan’s people are “dying from neglect,” says IRC country director Eatizaz Yousif, who herself has been displaced due to the war. #Velshi

‘No safe place’: People of Sudan ‘dying from neglect’
Eatizaz Yousif, herself displaced because of Sudan’s civil war, says there is “no safe place in Sudan” because fighting has spread through the entire country. Yousif says that the country’s capital, Khartoum, being the epicenter of fighting means a weakened and decentralized government. As a result, health and education services have completely collapsed and half of the country’s population is at risk of acute hunger, according to the World Food Programme.
