Executives at The Washington Post announced yesterday that they were eliminating hundreds of union jobs.
Today, America’s unions rallied with @postguild.bsky.social to #SaveThePost!
Here's who the Washington Post just laid off.
I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.
This js the latest data point only but: most anti free speech anti first amendment administration and gang in my lifetime and then some. It’s not even close. It’s not even just far
ICE believes they have a hunting license to kill Americans like Alex Pretti. Senate Democrats need to shut down DHS appropriations, instead they should work with Republicans to #FundHealthcareStopICE to end this rogue and lawless agency. Do it for Pretti, a healthcare hero.🩺🩻⚕️
🚨"YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST" An ominous announcement can be heard on border patrol's radio just moments after their agents THREW Status Coup's reporter Tina-Desiree Berg, and deployed tear and flash bang grenades at the press indiscriminately.⬇️
“Minnesota Vikings radio broadcaster taking leave of absence after mocking ICE protestors.”
“On Monday, Paul Allen apologized for what he called a ‘cheap one-liner’ in which he called protestors ‘paid’ and wondered aloud if they would get ‘hazard pay’ to be out in inclement weather.”
With the rise of German fascism in the 1930s and 1940s, the Roman Catholic Church silently decided to protect its real estate over its congregants.
There are creeping signs that the church may take a more moral position in the face of American fascism in the 2020s.

📈Why is there is upward trend in billion-dollar disasters?
1. There is a growing number of people, homes, and businesses exposed to these hazards.
2. Climate change is causing an increase in frequency and intensity of certain types of extreme weather.
That's a bad combo.

🧵📊The data is in. 2025 ranks as the third-highest year (after 2023 and 2024) for billion-dollar weather and climate disasters — with 23 such events costing a total of $115 billion in damages.

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.
Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

Heartbroken by the loss of two of Maryland’s finest heroes. Lt. Mark Dranbauer and Charles Mudra served their community for years — putting themselves on the line to keep Marylanders safe.
My prayers are with their loved ones and with the entire Baltimore City Fire Dept.
This post convinced me to spontaneously go and watch the movie. Highly recommend. Amazing story, casting, acting, costuming, writing, sound design,...
I want a podcast just about this movie where experts from all different fields explain in depth why it's great.
Civil rights groups, labor organizations and politicians praised Alexis Herman as a "trailblazer" who fought for the rights of women, Black people and American workers over the course of decades.
Another victory for U.S.-funded international broadcasters in court against the Trump admin: "Staffers at the government-funded Voice of America news service can go back to work, a federal judge in Washington ruled on Tuesday..." www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...
AP, in a legal filing this morning, says the new White House policy removing all wire services from the daily press pool rotation clearly violates the court's injunction and asks Federal District Court Judge Trevor McFadden to enforce his order […]
My colleagues and our broadcasts, devoted to telling America’s story to the world — honestly, fairly and with an unwavering commitment to the truth, are being silenced this weekend […]

The main voanews.com webpage hasn’t been updated in more than 24 hours and the programming from the 50 language services not being refreshed. Some shows replaced online and on air with a loop video (this example for VOA’s Persian feed): https://ir.voanews.com/a/8011941.html
All 550 of VOA’s contract status reporters, editors, videographers, engineers and techs just notified they’re terminated effective end of this month. We don’t distinguish internally between them and regular staff — all are highly skilled and absolutely critical to the operation.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.
