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."

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.

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

Graphic announcing that NiemanLab reported Politico management violated AI adoption safeguards. Large text reads: βNewsGuild Journalists won their AI arbitration against POLITICOβ¦ but why does that matter?β Below is a red button stating βLetβs talk about it.β At the bottom are the logos for The NewsGuild and βNews Not Slop.β
Graphic explaining the significance of the AI arbitration ruling. Section heading reads: βThe ruling marks one of the first major tests of an AI clause in a newsroom union contract.β Social media screenshots quote PEN Guild posts discussing Politicoβs use of AI tools and emphasizing that AI isnβt held to human editorial standards. Large red box states that NewsGuild journalists fought for AI protections because robots are not subject to the same editorial rigor.
Graphic stating that the Politico arbitration proves union contracts protect workers from unethical AI implementation. A large quote from the US Congressional Research Service notes that no broad federal AI regulatory framework exists. Text below explains that government hasnβt caught up to regulating AI, leaving workers vulnerable to cost-cutting by employers.
Graphic with heading βThis is a blueprint for workers everywhere.β Text explains that strong contract language on AI at Politico sets a model for all industries facing unregulated AI. Another line reads: βIf workers can enforce AI protections here, we can enforce them anywhere.β Below is a photo of a woman holding a megaphone at a labor rally, and a βNews Not Slopβ block inviting viewers to sign a petition.
Workers can regulate AI with strong contract language. Full stop.
Unionized journalists just proved this at POLITICO. @pen-guild.bsky.social

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 youβre a parent, you literally say sentences that you never thought youβd 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. π© 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
