Philadelphia has the second-highest poverty rate of the top ten largest U.S. cities. Failing to adequately fund the Defender Association ensures that this will only get worse. [8/10]

I’ve led chants on more picket lines than I can count … but never one where my daughter was one of the strike captains! #DadLander, indeed. Solidarity with the striking public defenders, paralegals, investigators (a little extra ♥️ for them) & social workers at @bds_union @alaa2325. They deserve a contract with pay, benefits & respect that reflect the way they pour their hearts & their labor into fighting for everyone in Brooklyn & Queens to get equal justice under law.

BREAKING: New York has passed #Prop1! New Yorkers used their vote to permanently protect abortion statewide, and showed up for LGBTQ, immigrant, and disabled New Yorkers by approving the most progressive and comprehensive state Equal Rights Amendment in the country.

Vote like your paid leave depends on it. Vote like your workplace rights depend on it. Vote like your overtime pay depends on it. Vote like your union depends on it. Because they do.

so you admit it? you admit that members of the nyt tech guild provide a vital public service at a consequential moment for our country?

NYT publisher AG Sulzberger emails the Times newsroom saying the NYT Tech Guild strike will likely continue through the election. He says it is “troubling that the Tech Guild would try to block this public service at such a consequential moment for our country.”

It’s embarrassing that New York Times management broke federal labor law and pushed for a strike on Election Day. They were warned 2 months ago this would happen and instead decided to hurt NYT’s coverage. I will always stand with @NYTGuildTech

As a result, I do not know whether we will be able to publish the needle. There are good reasons to bet against it, though perhaps there are scenarios where things are running super smoothly; alternately, we hit bugs at the start and there's no chance.
