Once again UPMC chooses to put profits over the lives of some of our most vulnerable residents. Gender affirming care IS life changing medicine. It saves lives, including mine.

Last week, McClatchy laid off 30% of its unionized workers. Here's how you can help some of the 90 journalists and media workers who lost their jobs.

First thing the Blizzcon attendees see as they join the queue for this year’s show.

We're TIRED of being called RACIST for saying RACIST SHIT ALL THE TIME!

Thanks goodness i'm blacked out from the Cards game since they're playing the Orioles. No temptation to turn on after finishing work and be stricken by the site.

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

We have several dozen members who are foreign journalists working in the United States. The U.S. should defend a free press, not attack it. We're proud to stand with others and fight these illegal visa changes.

We’re getting the band back together! ⚡️ The general election is in 86 days, and we want to hear from you! That’s why we’re launching the Ward One for All Tour. Come meet me, ask any questions, and share thoughts about the Ward! RSVP: www.mobilize.us/aparnafordc/

We are THRILLED to welcome @hbgworkers.bsky.social to WBNG as the largest union in trade publisher history! 🥳 In a landslide victory, 75% of ballots cast were in favor of forming a union. This is history in the making! wbng.org/2026/07/07/h...

Fog in Chicago is nuts right now

My hat trick this weekend is for the Cardinals to sweep the Cubs, Mexico to win on Sunday, and for it to happen so I can blast the Naboo Victory Parade music out the window

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Two full days of an airshow over the middle of DC followed by 850,000 fireworks at MIDNIGHT tomorrow. Gonna be a little kooky in the head by Monday.

No, what happened was the religious right in the US, after losing on Obergefell v. Hodges, immediately changed tactics. They held huge conferences outlining their plans to roll back LGBT rights as whole by targeting trans people. They didn't skip a beat. We aren't to blame for our own oppression.

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

DAAAAA Cubs lose

Bryan Torres made his professional debut back in 2015 in the Dominican Summer League. 11 years later, he goes yard in his first Major League game 👏

HUGE WIN ON AI: Our TIME Union has a new contract that includes "no layoffs due to AI" protections, new wage floors and more. Read the details here... nyguild.org/post/newsgui...

So the Republican Supermajority breaks the law and violates the constitution to strip Memphis of representation — then Speaker Sexton strips Dems of committee assignments for daring to protest. Welcome to Tennessee.

Metro DC DSA is proud to host 12 free Summer 2026 Reading Groups- sign up now! They include groups on abolition, labor and organizing, artificial intelligence, the Haitian Revolution, and much more! Sign up now! forms.gle/NqYh3n9WwXmJ...

We asked @propublica.org's board to agree to a fair contract. Chair Paul Sagan replied that they support management, whose last offer includes weak job security, minimal guardrails on AI & wages that don’t keep up w/ rising costs. We know you stand with us. Tell Mr. Sagan: shorturl.at/MkUbQ

We’re fighting for a more equitable workplace. This week, we’re looking at what pay equity looks like for our workplace, the cost of living in Chicago, and UChicago’s budget myths.

hearing that Mayor Bowser was booed at Howard commencement. Saw a flyer on FB purportedly from Howard organizers cutting her support for youth curfews in the city, support from AIPAC, and capitulation to Trump as reasons for the protest

May 5th: Today we learned that HBG is denying to voluntarily recognize our union. To put it simply, HBG is union busting. HBG had opportunities to address worker concerns over the years. Now, it’s time for a democratically elected seat at the table. The union is YOU. The union is ALL OF US.

Primaries are just over a month away, and the Left is engaging in its final outreach campaigns across the city — read on to get updated on Metro DC DSA’s electoral operations, upcoming chapter events, events across the DMV, and more: mdcdsa.org/chapterupdat...

A D.C. report on progress in a new pilot program to reduce school truancy says that while Latino kids are a relatively small proportion of truant kids, those who have been truant have become more truant over fears of ICE activity. One kid, *a U.S. citizen*, was detained by ICE.

The state legislature tried to make a 63 percent black city live with a statue honoring a slave trader, KKK leader, and convict lessor. Now they’re going to make sure Memphians are represented in Congress by someone who hates them, and is terrified to step foot in the city. (Or any city.)

Yesterday, our members chanted and marched through @propublica.org’s NYC office demanding a fair contract now. We delivered a stack of more than 4,000 petition signatures and 300 comments from our supporters to management.

When the Venetoulis Institute announced it would save the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from oblivion, the staff was cautiously optimistic. Then some 40 percent of the staff learned there would be no place for them in the newsroom. By @riddhisetty.bsky.social. www.cjr.org/feature/vene...

Congrats to today's Pulitzer winners — not *just* the Guild folks. FYI: The owners of the @thebaltimorebanner.com & @post-gazette.com began their PG tenure by canning members of the team that won a Pulitzer for Tree of Life coverage. Why? They're former strikers. actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

Midwest Organic Services Association employees are organizing a union in Wisconsin with OPEIU, but the ED has hired Littler to try to bust the union. I would view it as a personal favor if you’d sign and promote the letter below telling them to stop union busting👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Huge news today that the incredible staff at the University of Chicago Press is unionizing with The NewsGuild! ✊ The workers @ucpworkersguild.bsky.social are joining the nationwide labor movement for a stronger publishing industry. Read the full release here: newsguild.org/university-o...

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

Sun shining bright on DC’s next mayor @janeese4dc.bsky.social janeesefordc.com/get-involved/
