Now you can play and not be a scab. We also want to thank the multitude of @nytimes subscribers who have stopped playing and honored our digital picket line.

Sidewalk closed. Wow

[Philip Schwartz @PhilmerPhiI]

Caffrey’s has a new patio and it’s so… Caffrey’s

[Stacey Burns @WentRogue]

Doctor. Professor. City Council Vice President.

The reason that a woman might request to be addressed by her actual title is illustrated by these reporters’ responses, which all but call her “uppity.”

[grace birnstengel @grace__]

@edoswald literally how is what she said rude?

[SHANE REACTION @imshanereaction]

Cyndi Lauper going to the US Senate to change a law that allowed homeless shelters to deny someone a bed based on their sexuality is the most rock star thing I've seen a rock star do.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has just ruled 6-3 that it is legal to criminalize homelessness.

The Court sided with an Oregon town that made it illegal to camp in public, overturning a decades long precedent that says criminalizing homelessness is cruel and unusual punishment.

dunking on aisha in this

Got a scolding from Council *Vice President* Aisha Chughtai for calling her Council Member and I — just want to know what’s going on with the labor standards board proposal

@SlingshotAnnie @webertom1 just wanna note the mpr news / apm reports unit *was* in contract negotiations in june 2022

[Max Nesterak @maxnesterak]

Minnesota Public Radio spent $882,690 on anti-union law firm Jones Day for FY ending June 2022. Last year, the public radio station dissolved its unionized investigative unit APM Reports (that made In the Dark). It was also negotiating union contracts https://t.co/Dj3PYPi3zt
