Absolutely incredible to address the parts of the childcare crunch--3pm pick-ups, sporadic care in the summer--that hit single parents and women the hardest. When we talk about the gender wage gap, it's policy choices like THIS that are going to finally close it.

- No universal healthcare
- No paid family leave
- No universal childcare
- No tuition free public college
- No guarantee of live-saving care when pregnant due to abortion bans
- Average cost of $310k to raise a child to 18 yrs old

Gaza's starved children desperately trying to find any food in the garbage; a direct result of Israel's deliberate policy of using starvation as a weapon of war.

In northern Gaza, people even ran out of animal fodder to eat.

Humanity has failed & we will never forget!

Illinois poised to have a big win for labor tonight!

Amendment 1 would be the first time voters codify collective bargaining via ballot measure, and Illinois would also become the first state with a constitutional ban on “right-to-work”

Can't recommend enough how much you should hike Joaquin Miller Park in the rain (after you're done voting, of course).

This Supreme Court might overturn 63yo precedent that says an employer cannot sue workers for economic damage under tort law for engaging in rights (striking etc) that are protected under sections 7 & 8 of the NLRA. My God.

And really, the bigger problem here is not the collapse of the humanities per se, but the explosion of techno-utopianism among liberals who, drawing from the experience of the 1990s, believed STEMification was a no-cost way to solve the economic crisis.
