Pew sorts Protestants by race in its own "evangelical" methodology. White evangelicals pray less, read scripture less, evangelize less than Black Protestants—but vote Republican more than any other group. "Evangelical" is a racial category wearing a religious name. #Evangelical #MediaCriticism

An 87-year-old woman lived in the same apartment for 71 years. A real estate firm bought it. Her rent jumped from about €500 to €2,650. She was evicted and carried out on a stretcher. Thousands marched in Madrid. 71 years in one home. Gone after that rent hike.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

"First off, I'm going to say that some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things. Jason is one of our leaders," Carter said.
. "He's the face of our franchise. He not only represents himself and what he does, but he represents all of us, and that goes for anybody who wears a Giants uniform.
"But if he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
