Both parties sounded alarms for decades. Yet, private immigration jails thrive with little supervision: "The government wants plausible deniability by keeping these [companies] at arm’s length," said a Congressional source. "It’s better for @DHSgov."

Saying AI won't replace journalists is meaningless if it still replaces half of what we do as journalists. If half your responsibilities are being done by AI, that is being replaced. End of story! Fair AI language NOW! @propublica

HELP THE FIRED FOUR: It's #GivingTuesday -- consider donating to our @condeunion and @newyorkerunion members who were illegally fired by union-busting @CondeNast https://t.co/MvFk3gl82K

Before AI can replace us, companies will insist it helps us draft stories quicker. Therefore, demanding more output from already overburdened reporters. But what's faster, a seasoned staffer writing clean copy from scratch or proofing AI's errors several times over? #NewsNotSlop

As the Dept. of Homeland Security floods private migrant detention centers with billions of dollars in contracts, it moved to abolish three of its key oversight offices: “They got DOGE'd, for lack of a better word,” said a congressional source.

Journalism tip: if you’re going to a Dept of Homeland Security building where a mayor and gubernatorial candidate is being detained after an arrest by ICE & the place is swarming with police and protestors, write contacts for your newspaper’s legal counsel on your arm.

Etymology of journo idiom “barnburner.” It initially described didactic political firebrands rather than a nail-biting electoral contest — even among moderates. Yet, I’d argue Trump’s and Sanders’ appeal prove the cognate the more meaningful application. [Reference Webster’s.]

On April 5th, America’s unions are coming together with allies of labor at events across the country to send a message: #HandsOff our unions and our contracts!

A former anti-bullying coordinator for #MontclairNJ schools claims she refused multiple directives from the prior superintendent to alter HIB assessment scores. In one alleged case, "the changes were made directly by the principal."

BREAKING: Today the 3rd Circuit Court enjoined the @PittsburghPG, ordering the company to — upon request — immediately restore the health care it illegally took away in 2020, and bargain with us.

This is an enormous win and the most consequential day of our entire strike.

[Jon Schleuss @gaufre]

This is major news!!!

[Colleen Wilson @Colleenallreds]

Nearly a quarter of our staff were earning less than $40k... this contract is monumental. ✊

ANOTHER BIG GANNETT WIN: @therecordguild has won a historic first contract, lifting long-stagnant wages by over 25% on average, and averting a planned walkout. More here....

Oh dear! Did our union photo bomb the @Gannett St. Patrick’s parade live feed? So sorry. Gee, maybe jurisdiction is important & one paper’s staff shouldn’t get in the way of another. Side note: got a contract ready for The Bergen Record? @nyguild @RICARDOKAUL @AnneCarusoPhoto

[Nicholas Katzban @NicholasKatzban]

An overwhelming majority of unionized workers @therecordguild voted to walkout unless #Gannett ceases its slow-walking at the bargaining table to offer wages and reasonable job protections. Please consider donating to our fund. https://t.co/9Yj8MqLA5x

[Nicholas Katzban @NicholasKatzban]

I don’t disagree. How about you, @Gannett????

[Ricardo Kaulessar ✍️ @hack1872]

I was out here today with my @therecordguild colleagues at the Bergen County #SaintPatricksDay parade to let the public know that @Gannett needs to settle our contract NOW! Stop stalling! @RICARDOKAUL @NicholasKatzban @AnneCarusoPhoto @Colleenallreds @snoda11 #LucasFrau

[Nicholas Katzban @NicholasKatzban]

Hey @Gannett, still waiting on that Bergen Record contract. You had some company at the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Hope we didn’t get in any of the shots of your live feed… @nyguild @therecordguild

[Nicholas Katzban @NicholasKatzban]

“No one will ever give you what you work for. They’ll never give you what you deserve. And they’ll never give you your fair share. They’ll give you what you negotiate for.” Wise words a former coworker told me. Well I’m done negotiating. And I got 67 others behind me.

[Nicholas Katzban @NicholasKatzban]

Where’s that deal @Gannett?

[Ricardo Kaulessar @RICARDOKAUL]

Hello @gannett! Where’s the contract for the @therecordguild? We’re still prepared to walkout. Enough stalling!
