A 24 year old farm worker was killed by heat in Mississippi. No worker should be killed on the job, but we still have no enforceable federal heat protection rules. 1/

Reporter @maxblau.bsky.social spent a year reporting on abuses of farmworkers. It left him wondering: Is there any way to find out whether the produce he buys at the grocery store comes from farms with a record of mistreating workers?

loving cats, apparently, makes you more attractive to 28% of Americans, per a new survey. that compares with just 23% for owning a home. among Gen Z, the cat figure rises to 34%. having trouble on the apps? put down that mortgage application and get yourself to a cat rescue.

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

A plea to all you wonderful folks who are thinking to adopt (not buy) a dog or cat… The shelters are FILLED with animals who’ve been surrendered. Yesterday they had a bed and a family and now they are confused and terrified through no fault of their own. Consider giving them a next chapter.

not everyone has to go to college. there is lots of worthy work for which you don't need a degree, & lots of unworthy work for which you do. but articles like this obfuscate the unequal opportunity structure students face instead of questioning why all paths are not equally available to all students

The state of our economy is failing Black workers, families, & futures—and this is a damning reminder of that. We need federal action to address this crisis. Sec. Scott Bessent must release the report on the impact of Black unemployment. And the Fed must do its job to maximize employment for all.

Good news: Wilber Garces Perez finally had surgery to remove the bullet that was in his back for 11 days. It took far too long, and it's more proof of ICE cruelty. But we kept up the pressure, and Wilber got the care he needed. Speaking up for our neighbors works.

The cropped face is a yellow dog with a pink nose named Subaru holding a stick of butter in her mouth, with a little smeared on her nose. It's exactly as silly as you think it is.

This isn't just a think piece saying they disagree with PEN America; they actually went back and examined at the data and reporting — including a key claim that a literary agent was selling far fewer books by Jewish and Israeli authors in the US — and found it lacking. Fascinating work.

Seeking to publicly expose the identity of a rape victim who has deliberately remained annonymous is monstrous behavior and anyone participating in that search, regardless of legality or whatever bullshit defense, is a degenerate scumbag who should be pushed out of society.

It is depressing that few public officials are stepping up to defend the university of Minnesota from crippling cuts. Investment in it generates enormous return. You can’t trim 10-15% of the budget and pretend that all will be well. Austerity leads to mediocrity 🤦🏻‍♂️
