"Nearly five years." Investigative journalism takes years and years. The investment is immense, and always worth it, and, in the era of "hot takes" and ephemeral "content," rigorously reported journalistic work is needed more than ever. We must keep supporting investigative journalism. From @mannyNYT, lead reporter of the blockbuster piece on Cesar Chavez ⤵️

This isn’t about immigration anymore. It’s about killing non-fascists.

Just a thought for @JoeBiden, @BarackObama, @BillClinton, and George Bush, but today would be a great day for all former living Presidents to go together to Minnesota and to help defend Democracy.

I will forever be haunted by the P ale stinian man who left home to get birth certificates for his newborn twins and came home to them and his wife můrdered by an aírstrike. I cannot believe this country is paying for this and accepting it.

The last time unemployment was below 4% for this long, the Jackson 5 topped the charts. The last time this many jobs were created in one presidential term was never.

A central reason the GOP's economic track record is so bad is that it's economic policy is very light on economics and very heavy on white supremacy. Cutting spending, "tax and spend," isn't about creating growth - it's about giving "those" people less. nitter.gq/SimonWDC/status/166461…
A blistering jobs report! 432,000 w/revisions! US economy so strong. Time for the mighty monthly jobs day thread: 33.8m jobs = 16 yrs Clinton/Obama 13.1m jobs = 27 months Biden 1.9m jobs = 16 yrs Bush/Bush/Trump Almost 7 times as many Biden jobs as last 3 Rs COMBINED! 1/

if you're a reporter and a cop uses the phrase "displaying traits of an armed person" it's your job to ask what the fuck that means
NEW: Baltimore Police say the person shot was 17 years old, saying he was displaying traits of an armed person before he took off running. Officers rendered aid and the 17 year old is in critical condition. @wjz

Please read the story that’s been 30+ years in the making, taught me the real meaning of fomo, humbled me to filth about the specialness of my own story—and gave me a sisterhood I never knew I needed so much nyti.ms/3VREJu3

Days ago, TX politicians refused to even MEET with parents from Uvalde who were demanding a vote on WILDLY popular gun safety legislation. Today, another mass shooting where TX politicians throw their hands up in the air...
The Texas GOP has shown us time after time that they are choosing guns over lives-- it's time we show them what Texans choose. Majority of Texans demand safe, sensible gun legislation. @RyanGuillen, why are you ignoring the democratic process to bring HB 2744 to a vote? #TXLeg

Until now, in 16 years of writing Ask a Manager, I've never had a flood of people from one specific field write to me to ask about how to leave their field. But it's happening now with teaching -- every day I have another letter from a teacher who's trying to get out

A Missouri man threatened a grocery store worker with his gun because the meat department was closed and he wanted steak. He claims the gun use was meant to communicate: “I need you to help me to get a couple of these steaks. I’m not going to hurt you.” ozarksfirst.com/crime/spring…
