I’m always curious if I started Christian nationalist posting on personal socials the ratio of people that would message me knowing it was a bit vs just taking it a face value

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ rΓ©sumΓ©s

It's a "whole new era at Amtrak," @amtrak.com President Roger Harris said Tuesday.

Its new Airo trains will debut on the Cascades this summer and East Coast in 2027, becoming the workhorse of Amtrak's fleet by replacing Amfleets that date to the 1970s.

Starbucks has scrapped a $250,000 limit on its CEO's use of the company jet for personal travel.

CEO Brian Niccol uses the jet to commute from his house California to corporate HQ in Seattle.

The company is lifting the cap while refusing thousands of baristas a union contract.

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

β€œRenee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. β€œYou know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know β€” their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Let’s fucking goooooo this is amazing. Being at Labor Notes 2024 receiving the news that these workers won their union was electric, and now their hard work has paid off with this incredible first contract!

The @uaw.org has won a tentative agreement from VW nearly two years after workers voted to unionize in Chattanooga.

Over 3,000 workers will get:

- A 20% raise
- Better healthcare
- A bonus of about $6,550 per worker upon ratification

And much more.

Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost somewhere around $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year.

Of course, he wouldn't have to choose. He could do both because he's worth $250B, which is nearly the GDP of New Zealand.

Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raym...

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Solidarity with our @hearstunion.bsky.social members! We shouldn’t have to bargain past contract expiration to win basic respect and reasonable increases.

These quotes reflect why 85% of our unit signed the strike pledge: respect for our labor, fair pay, and a contract that honors the people and creativity behind these brands. Our contract is officially expired, and we’re ready for Hearst to show up this week prepared to negotiate a fair deal. ✊

As there is a National Shutdown Day tomorrow, Friday, January 30, staffing might be an issue at Green. We are planning a modified schedule for students. Your student might not have their homeroom teacher, so please talk to your child so they are prepared. The school will be open.
Thank you!

Breaking: Educators at bilingual schools in Minneapolis did a sickout today. Federal agents continue to kidnap children. Two more students have been taken from Liam Ramos’s Columbia Heights School. Educators are saying enough! Message below is from the district to parents.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal β€˜retribution’ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Star Tribune: β€œRepublican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s β€˜stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”

Literally EVERYTHING else aside:

Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it.

Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."
