@JeffEisenband It was fun while it lasted 😢

I have to assume that the conservatives sharing "Rich Men North of Richmond" - which talks about "overtime hours for bullshit pay" - will be thrilled to support this, right??

We applaud @USDOL’s proposed rule to strengthen and expand overtime protections for more working people in America.

Updating the salary threshold is necessary and important, and it will help workers of color who disproportionately work in low-wage roles. https://t.co/z3b6CmMiPs

Another example of Hussein al-Sheikh's pragmatism that didn't make our profile:

In June 2021, Israel cut a deal to send much-needed coronavirus vaccines to the PA.

To make it happen, Ra'am party head Mansour Abbas and then-FM Yair Lapid got on speakerphone with al-Sheikh >>>

[Aaron Boxerman @aboxerman1]

For decades, the trajectory of powerful Palestinian politician Hussein al-Sheikh has been linked to another Hebrew-speaking potential future Palestinian president: the fiery, charismatic Marwan Barghouti.

Much of this was cut from our recent story for space, so here's a 🧵

🧵 1/7 A year ago, I was standing at the checkout line of a coconut-themed restaurant in Malibu when @aboxerman1 & I first chatted abt profiling Hussein al-Sheikh, one of P.A. Pres Abbas’s closest advisers who Israeli power brokers admire & US officials turn to during tense times

[Gareth Browne @BrowneGareth]

A jaw dropping piece from @aboxerman1 & @adamrasgon on Hussein al-Sheikh:

“It is a particular ability to kiss ass, lie, brown-nose, and bullshit,” said Nasser al-Kidw…. And always to convince Abu Mazen that he’s God.”

“From 1862 to the 1950s, Southwest DC was home to a thriving African American population,” writes @NMAAHC. “Community centers, restaurants, schools, and businesses flourished in this working-class neighborhood.” Then, in the 60s, SW was leveled for I-395/695 and urban renewal.

New US Department of Energy study: Compared to an SUV, e-cargo bikes offer 95% cost savings and a 99% reduction in CO₂ equivalent per mile.

I'd say that's pretty good!

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act goes into effect TODAY!

This new civil rights law makes it easier for millions of pregnant workers and those recovering from childbirth to get the support they need at work, keep their jobs, and protect their health.

The civil rights community urges the Senate to #ConfirmJulieSuNow to lead the Department of Labor.

There is no one more prepared to move into this role and lead the department as it undertakes its critical mission to protect working people. https://t.co/9JADEeAola

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

We’re outside the Capitol with @SenSanders, working people, labor leaders & advocates calling on Congress to #RaiseTheWage.

This year marks 60 years since the #MarchOnWashington, where a national minimum wage increase was a core demand.

It remains a civil rights priority today.

[National Employment Law Project @NelpNews]

🧵NELP’s Judy Conti set the record straight in a letter to @WSJopinion that no one is better suited to be @USDOL Secretary than former Deputy and now Acting Secretary Julie Su: https://t.co/zjVGQR7dQr

BREAKING: The Senate HELP Committee advanced the nomination of civil rights lawyer Kalpana Kotagal to serve as EEOC commissioner.

We urge the Senate to act without delay to confirm Kotagal and allow the EEOC to carry out its mission to enforce civil rights laws in the workplace.

this piece is great and my only addition is that guys (of all genders) who love Master and Commander should check out @TheLastKingdom on Netflix - alexander dreymon and @MarkRowley90 bring the same incredible dudes rock energy

[Gabriella Paiella @GMPaiella]

I wrote about why guys are obsessed with Master and Commander, 20 years later. Thanks to @AlexYablon, @willmenaker, @davidgross_man, @rachelmillman, @nandorvila, former Fox chairman Tom Rothman, and the legend Peter Weir for their thoughts. https://t.co/mhlF3QHum6
