THIS thread is among most important I’ve ever read.
The social construct making wage theft “Civil” rather than “Criminal”
👉🏼 protects employer-employee bears expense/time of litigation
👉🏼 people committing most harm aren't in jail & don’t live in “high crime neighborhoods”

Nearly 1,000 migratory birds died at ONE building just this morning in Chicago. Imagine across the whole city.
Please please please consider turning lights off in your home and offices over night as our feathered friends make their journey south!

Millions of birds die in US every year due to light pollution during migration. Turning off exterior lights reduces deaths by ~80%
YOU CAN HELP:
-Turn #LightsOut- 11pm-6 am during migration periods (April/May & September/October)
-Ask your building to: audubon.org/lights-out-progr…

Sign this petition to support a bill in the NYC Council that could sharply reduce bird collisions by requiring buildings to turn off nonessential lights at night during peak migration seasons. ladyfreethinker.org/sign-sto…

Investing in child care is good economic policy. Our economy is slated to lose $10.6 BILLION if Congress doesn't act by September 30th to prevent 70,000+ child care centers from closing—and potentially millions of parents from reducing their work hours or leaving jobs altogether.
More than 70,000 daycare programs are at risk of closure as pandemic-era funding is set to expire. That upheaval threatens to push parents — especially women — to work fewer hours, switch to less-demanding roles or leave the labor force entirely. latimes.com/business/story/2…

It takes real guts to call out excessive police spending in 2022, amid Democrats’ "defund is dead" cacophony and a GOP-cultivated crime panic.

For good reasons, most stroke survivors don't return to work until >6 months post-stroke. But for many, getting back on the job sustains a sense of purpose & autonomy.

A few months ago, @protctdemocracy published a guide for how reporters can cover and distinguish threats from politics-as-usual. This blurb seems helpful as we figure out how to cover disinformation in information security. protectdemocracy.org/project…
Interesting to rewatch this in light of the #InflationReductionAct
Out of 582 political ads that analytics firm @swayable tested on vote likelihood this cycle, this Biden climate ad was in the top 1% for mobilizing voters under 35.
Voters care deeply about climate change and back Biden's historic plan to combat it.

Fascinating & really important podcast.
The effects of #Unwantedness: children born to parents who didn’t truly want or were ready for that child were more likely to have worse health & education outcomes & be more likely to engage in criminal behaviors.

Bridge at a #Ukrainian-Romanian border crossing.
Border guards left toys for Ukrainian children so that every child passing could take a toy with them.
