CLT leaders keep trading transparency for “efficiency” & our communities pay the price.
East CLT deserves better. Running against an incumbent is hard, but running to fight for a liveable, safe, & accountable city is worth it.

In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

“Much of ‘the Resistance’ was hashtag activism, a social-media-driven simulacrum that allowed people who disliked Trump and feared what he and a radical GOP might do to feel as if they were playing a role in the opposition.”

This is good news— and predictable. Threads was insistent on throttling political content, insistent on using a non-linear timeline, and insistent on promoting the same type of mindless engagement bait (“what’s the solution to this math problem?”) that rendered Facebook unusable.

With recent news about media outlets & corporations being business as usual, it is more important than ever to do the opposite.
It’s not normal, & it is essential to recognize the challenges we face. We must remain vigilant & resist any attempts to normalize division, hatred, or authoritarianism.

Most young children in the U.S. who go to preschool experience classrooms segregated by race and class. But some programs reject this model and instead work to create classrooms that children from all backgrounds can access. Here is how an ECE program in Wisconsin is bucking the trend.

This is absurd.
Not only will a mass deportation cost more than $88b in US taxpayer money and result in an estimated 4-6% loss of US GDP, but it will separare thousands of families, including mixed-status households.
It’s fiscally irresponsible, cruel, and inhumane.
