One simple way to heal American politics: run more union members | Dustin Guastella

"We found that candidates who come out of the union movement are exactly what many people in the country desperately crave: politicians who sound like them, who advocate for working people, and who provide solutions that actually work to fix our broken system."

Mass layoffs at Washington Post; hundreds of journalists cut as Bezos gives millions to Melania Trump | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA The Washington Post on Wednesday announced a devastating number of layoffs to journalists, decimating one of the most important newsrooms in the country.

Jeff Bezos gave $75 million to support Melania Trump's vanity film, but he doesn't have the money for the hundreds of journalists he laid off at The Post today.

Democracy dies with Bezos – unless we fight back. Here's how you can help:

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Kyiv bureau among those axed by Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, hundreds of journalists laid off "I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated," Ukraine correspondent Lizzie Johnson wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

A large number of foreign correspondents working for @washingtonpost.com, including those covering the war in #Ukraine, have been laid off. We stand in solidarity with the affected employees & join @newsguild.org in condemning Jeff Bezos' leadership & vision as incompatible with The Post's mission.

The NUJ stands in solidarity with all workers impacted by the appalling, cataclysmic cuts at the Washington Post.

We agree wholeheartedly with @newsguild.org that a newsroom cannot be hollowed out without compromising its credibility, its reach and its future.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

The NewsGuild strongly condemns FBI’s raid of Washington Post reporter’s home | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA β€œThe Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Natanson’s property and personal devices,” the Post Guild said.

β€œJournalists have the right to do their jobs without fear of government interference,” said President Jon Schleuss.

β€œToday’s FBI raid on a journalist’s home is a direct assault on the 1st Amendment and a threat to every working journalist.

Post-Gazette loses 3rd Circuit appeal request, owes workers restored terms, money | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA The ruling means the Post-Gazette must reimburse every bargaining unit member for the costs it has illegally passed on over the last five-and-a-half years.

RELEASE: The PG’s announced shutdown does not exempt it from the ruling or its obligation to pay workers what they are owed.

That liability continues to accrue until the Post-Gazette restores the previous, contractually bargained terms.

Workers can regulate AI with strong contract language. Full stop.

Unionized journalists just proved this at POLITICO. @pen-guild.bsky.social

Wait a second. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called you to give you your job at a private news outlet back?

OANN, anyone care to explain the government's role in your hiring decisions or do we need to FOIA to find out?

Asbury Park students got diplomas under system designed to make failure nearly impossible Asbury Park schools have enjoyed a significant rise in their graduation rates, but records and lawsuits suggest the improvement is hollow.

For years, city school officials have celebrated what they called a dramatic turnaround in a once-struggling district β€” pointing to a nearly 35-point jump in graduation rates in a school where half of students once failed to earn a diploma.

When you’re a parent, you literally say sentences that you never thought you’d say outloud and you have thoughts that sound insane if written down.

Such as; I hurt my back helping my son poop on the potty.

Yes it was a big poop. πŸ’© Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Plan for 300 affordable Asbury Park apartments has a problem; the city never agreed to it The Asbury Park Housing Authority believes it could bring over 300 affordable apartments to town. The problem? That's not what the city agreed to.

The city says the Asbury Park Housing Authority is holding up the redevelopment of Lincoln Village and a neighboring vacant lot commonly known as "Home Plate" because the housing authority wants to build more #affordablehousing than was agreed to in 2023
