It would be so helpful to me if Breaking News alerts were actually about breaking news.

Although I'm a novelist, I'm happiest to have co-authored a memoir with my late mother, Patricia Stephens Due: FREEDOM IN THE FAMILY: A MOTHER-DAUGHTER MEMOIR OF THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. My mother, the first horror fan I knew, wore dark glasses after being teargassed during a march in 1960.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

Not only doing the right thing but creating a paper trail to support those being targeted. This guy is a hero.

Workers at a Philly Whole Foods have just released the results of their union election—AND THEY WON!!!! 130-100, baby! 🦅 Philadelphia is now home to the first unionized Whole Foods Market in the U.S. One down, 500 more to go!

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

It’s 8am and I should be bustling around, but instead I have been immobilized by a cold cat.

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! We, the union members of the Chicago Tribune, have been at the bargaining table for five (5) years asking for a fair contract and livable wages. As the cost of living soars, most of us haven't seen our salaries change in years. Join us Saturday on Michigan Ave!

WaPo is eliminating all local columns, killing the entire social issues team and getting rid of half its education reporters, according to former Postie Gene Meyer. What a loss. eugenelmeyer.com/2023/12/13/i...

It turns out that having to move large parts of the flat around so that electricians can…electrician is extra exhausting the day after covid and flu jabs.
