Workers have the right to organize and shouldn’t be scored as a "risk" for doing so. @amazon’s reported use of AI to rank warehouses by how likely workers were to organize is a threat to labor rights. We need rules to protect workers. thecooldown.com/green-busine…

How historically awful is Donald Trump as president? All 254 Texas counties shifted to the left. Every single one of them.
Recent Texas cycles each had a regional story. In 2018, Dems surged in the suburbs and the rural wall saved Cruz. In 2020 and 2024, the RGV and South Texas lurched right. This year, it's everywhere. All 254 counties moved left:

Incredible how the AI industry is so over-leveraged and under-regulated it can't weather a single threat without complete collapse. It's almost like their hyper-inflated growth has been contingent on zero oversight and data centers blanketing the land & stealing our resources.

Not to be outdone, but Michigan also elected its first ever openly transgender state legislator last night with Joanna Whaley winning #HD02 (Harris+1.5) on the outskirts of Detroit. Not only did she win, she won by 25 points! A huge overperformance! nitter.gq/Uncrewed/status/211784…
BIG news out of Alabama, as Allison Montgomery has become the first ever openly transgender state legislator in Alabama history! She flipped the Trump+5 #HD25 on the west side of Huntsville

Utterly insane… If the largest Dem leaning population centers hadn’t turned up… Talarico STILL would have won in Texas!
Talarico’s vote margin was so large in Texas that he could have won without Harris (Houston), Travis (Austin), or Dallas counties.

At least 5 states — Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — will join 16 others that have Democratic “trifectas,” meaning that the party will control the governor’s office and both legislative chambers washingtonpost.com/politics/…

I would once again encourage people to consider whether there might be a connection between the fact that Musk controls this site & the fact that almost all the left voices elevated on this site are engaged in tedious, vicious, endless factional infighting.
In certain quarters on here Democrats are fighting like they just lost the biggest midterm election in 50 years.

OppFi withdrew its bank holding applications — and we applaud it. A bank charter should expand access to safe, affordable credit. It shouldn't be used to help predatory lenders evade state consumer protection laws. hubs.ly/Q04Dvg-_0

Worth noting MSNOW has never asked a single politician what their plan was to protect Muslims or to promote “Muslim safety”. I studied the past three years from ten major media outlets and found Jewish safety was mentioned 4,200% more than Muslim/Arab safety, at 254-to-6
MSNOW: What is your message now to Jewish voters nationally and what you will do to protect them? Abdul El-Sayed: I’m committed to Jewish safety, and we are united against discrimination. The U.S. spends billions to carry out genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The genocide in Gaza with our complicity is continuing right now. Nobody wants to talk about that.

For the first time since 1996, HUD and DOJ refused to share housing discrimination data for our annual Fair Housing Trends Report. So we built the picture anyway. What we found: the need for enforcement hasn't fallen. Only the capacity to deliver it has. vist.ly/5rj4v

Hoo boy. Despite a court order prohibiting any work -- without court notification - at the site of Trump's Monumental Arch..... the Administration acknowledges there's been some work.

After years of food shortages, UNICEF found 1 in 8 children chronically malnourished or stunted, and many have suffered permanent damage. Prior to the war, Gaza was self-sufficient in fruit and vegetables, but Israel destroyed the sophisticated greenhouse...
