One of the reasons free school lunch shouldn’t be means tested is that kids are absolutely ruthless little classists who torture other kids who are visibly on any type of subsidy. No reason to introduce another layer of insecurity to already disenfranchised kids


Love to not open this website for months on end and then crawl up and retweet a whole morning's worth of the most random stuff only to disappear into the shadows once again.

My name is Aisha Chughtai, most of you know me, but I am a renter, a former labor organizer, the eldest daughter to a Muslim immigrant family, an immigrant rights activist, & the Councilmember for Ward 10 in Minneapolis. And I’m excited to announce I’m running for re-election. 🧵

The Times blames our culture of open bargaining -- where all members of a union are welcome to observe bargaining sessions -- for why negotiations have been stalled. Everyone who will be affected by the decisions made at the bargaining table should be privy to those discussions.

A 24-hour strike at The New York Times, a historic demonstration in which more than 1,100 employees are expected to participate, will take effect Thursday at midnight. Here's my full story: cnn.com/2022/12/07/med…

Breaking: The NewsGuild confirms that more than 1,000 New York Times employees will walk out on Thursday for 24 hours. The union said NYT management walked away from the negotiating table. The union's contract expired 21 months ago. `nyguild.org/front-page-det… @nyguild @newsguild

🚨THE NEWSGUILD IS ON STRIKE! 🚨 Hundreds of local journalists across unionized @Gannett newsrooms from the east to west coast are on #GannettWalkout. Weeks after Gannett announced austerity measures like cuts to 401k & buyouts and months after Gannett laid off 3% of staff.
