There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

first @propublica.org and now @thetriibe.com? i hope these newsroom managers know they are doing double damage to their operations
you can't really position yourself as a progressive alternative to legacy news orgs if you act just like them when your workers unionize
RESULT: The AP calls it, that there will be a runoff between Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clayton Fuller in April (meaning they’ll take the top 2 spots and neither will get 50%).
This is the reddest district in Georgia, though Dems are at least going to get a big overperformance today.
Corli Jay, The TRiiBE’s community investment reporter was terminated by TRiiBE leadership on March 9 alleging that she had broken nonexistent company ethics rules. We believe this is retaliation for organizing a union. One Triibe United demands the immediate reinstatement of our member and voluntary recognition of our union.

very disappointed to see @thetriibe.com fired one of its staffers after they went public with their union campaign and has still not voluntarily recognized the union.
solidarity with @onetriibeunited.bsky.social ✊
After staffers at The TRiiBE unionized two weeks ago, one of their reporters was fired. The union believes she was terminated for union organizing, and are demanding that the member be reinstated and the union be voluntarily recognized.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TRiiBE staffer fired in retaliation for unionization efforts Contact (708) 576-1265 OneTriibeUnited@gmail.com CHICAGO — On March 9, two weeks after going public with its efforts to unionize with the Chicago News Guild, TRiiBE leadership senselessly fired a member of One Triibe United, alleging that they had broken nonexistent company ethics rules. We believe this is retaliation for organizing a union. We will be filing an Unfair Labor Practice Charge with the National Labor Relations Board. One Triibe United demands the immediate reinstatement of our member and voluntary recognition of our union. We believe the grounds for our member’s termination are retaliatory and intended to send a chilling message: that, though TRiiBE leadership claims to support “workers’ rights to unionize,” they don’t actually mean it. Their abrupt firing is harmful to the communities that have earned our trust and puts future coverage in jeopardy due to the cut in editorial staff. Since going public with our intention to file an election with the National Labor Relations Board, TRiiBE leadership hasn’t taken any steps to voluntarily recognize our union, One Triibe United, despite the majority of eligible TRiiBE staff across the editorial department signing cards and a mission statement showing their support in forming a union with the NewsGuild-CWA. This recent termination is the second in our newsroom in the last two months. At a time when journalists of color, and Black women in particular, are being disproportionately impacted by media industry layoffs and as President Donald Trump’s administration is cracking down on anti-DEI efforts, we find it unsettling that a Black-women-led organization has terminated two Black women. Though we are saddened by the termination of our member, we are heartened by the immediate support and show of solidarity we received over the last two weeks from our readers and allies who recognize the value of our dee…
More information from the union themselves:
Looks like the management team at @thetriibe.com is pulling a nasty one and deciding to *fire people* instead of voluntarily recognizing the union.
There's an easy path there smh, moving anti-union like in a Trump admin is travay ki vreman dezagreyab (very nasty work)

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Well, well, well... I don't want to hear a damned thing about why Mamdani really HAD to break his campaign and post election promises re our library budget. You all should be pushing him to do what he said he would do.

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
