The Sheffield Historical Society continues to inspire the hidden history of the Berkshires to be brought forward. “The Descendants Voice” program last night was another example. The Jones Family with roots dating back to the Revolutionary War & the Civil War was a great education

“When a company is struggling to find enough labor, it can solve the problem by offering to pay a higher price for that labor — also known as higher wages. More workers will then enter the labor market. Suddenly, the labor shortage will be no more.” https://t.co/zrfkBe79zj

UNC's decision to deny tenure to @nhannahjones is absurd & a reminder of how hard some work to deny the hard truth that is Nikole's life work & the 1619 Project. She is a Pulitzer Prizer winner & a MacArthur genius. What more needs to be said?

Oh my God Tim. That’s on Septa and the city. They can’t just let that happen. They have to clear that out.

At age 82, Joe Ligon rejected the very idea of applying for parole. So his lawyers at ⁦@PhillyDefenders⁩ figured out another way.

Today, he walked out of prison “free the right way” after 68 years of incarceration. https://t.co/r4PLdlYH9s
