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. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

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.

“While researching photos, I always come across more interesting images than I need,” senior editor Alan Taylor writes. “The best of those, I’ve been tucking into a folder.”

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. open.substack.com/pub/fridains...

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

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...

In Italy women were expected to marry their rapist, which excused him from the crime legally, until the 1960s. Franca Viola, who had to face down both society and the Mafia when she refused to do this, should be known more widely as one of the great heroines.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide

Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

I'm reading a lot of posts saying things like "I'm not political", or "I'm not interested in politics". You may not be interested in politics, but, trust me, politics is interested in YOU. We can't avoid politics, and the sooner everyone realizes that, the better off we'll be.
