We at NEASO went out on two day-long ULP strikes before the 6 week lockout, including one on the second day of NEA's Representative Assembly in 2024.

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Right now, help looks like direct cash assistance and sharing ways for others to understand their agency. We are not powerless. We can do something meaningful that makes a big difference. If you can't give please share!

A trial or "petit" jury is made up of 12 people and lasts for the length of a trial to determine guilt/not guilty.

A Grand Jury meets one or two days a week for 18-24 months. 16-23 people meet privately and consider many cases to determine whether prosecutors have "probable cause" to go to trial.

If you or someone you know is called for a Grand Jury, please step up, please hold the line, and please know you are a fucking hero.

Constitutional gatekeepers: The history and role of grand juries How grand juries serve as a vital shield against retaliatory prosecutions.

Jury duty gets a bad rap, and Grand Jury duty can be a significant sacrifice. But it's also a vital front line in the war against authoritarianism.

You are probably hearing something about Grand Juries today. If you or someone you know is called to serve on a Grand Jury, it's important to know your rights. You can help safeguard our democracy and neighbors.

Best when viewed from a bit of a distance. Apparently, being new at something means being kinda shitty at it, which is rude.

I desperately needed something to occupy my hands and mind over the last month, and this beginner crossstitch a friend gave me was just the right balance of frustrating and satisfying. Plus, I can't scroll while I stab and that's been really useful!

Ron, your review of my board game Votes for Women is one of the most meaningful and important reviews I received. Thank you so much for being open, honest, and fair. Looking forward to all your future work!

I can not overstate the excitement & validation I felt when Votes for Women was featured in the Washington Post Book section. Treating games like literature is an important phase of credibility for our medium.

RIP to the space, and I hope the best for the writers, editors, and staff.

Bezos sucks.
