Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

Important! As colleges & high schools lean into AI as tutors, keep in mind that it’s not really tutoring. It’s doing it for the students. Horrible! Bookmarking this thread.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

I’ve finally got to see the mural of St Mungo in Glasgow. The image depicts the city’s patron saint in modern clothing as a homeless man holding a robin, in a reference to one of his four legendary miracles.

“My heart was so broken I don’t even know how to put it in words,” Ruiz’s daughter says of when she found out. “Sometimes when you get shot you live,” so at first she thought he might be alive. “People are saying he’s a criminal. So what? He had a family. He had me!”

Teenage girls really do not speak like this. My guess: he liked her, she ignored or rebuffed him, rolled her eyes or snickered. She either dated or was simply friends w/ a jock who may or may not have been Black. This is the incel narrative that allows him to hate both women and Black men.

Saudi Arabia's relations with the U.S. are all over the news, and I did a search to see if NY Times stories cited the Saudis' murder of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi during Trump's 1st term. The most recent NYT mention of Khashoggi was weeks ago, not in the current conversation. @nytimes.com

Hear me out: this is even wilder than it looks. Out in the ag world, Taylor Farms was THE instigator for a lot of the big food safety moves for lettuce over the last 20 years. That's a legacy that just should NOT have ended up like this.
public health guyit does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption

This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change. The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.
Aaron RuparRep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

Ian Wright saying we shouldn’t forget the way the Iranian team and the Somali referee were treated. Correct.
