SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the Condé United and NewsGuild of New York union members who were retaliated against for questioning the closure of Teen Vogue.
SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the Condé United and NewsGuild of New York union members who were retaliated against for questioning the closure of Teen Vogue. Four Condé Nast staffers were fired and additional union members appear to have been suspended without pay following their participation in a federally protected activity — gathering at their workplace to inquire about the Teen Vogue layoffs. When institutions that hire journalists infringe on their employee’s right to collective action it calls into question those institutions’ commitment to inquiry and journalistic integrity. It also threatens all unionized journalists and their ability to speak truth to power. SAG-AFTRA reminds Condé Nast that collective action is a federally protected right. We join in solidarity with journalists as well as our union siblings in demanding the terminated employees be reinstated.

On Queer Homesteading explores the role of back to the land movements for queer liberation, healing, and community, including women's land communities. 📖

The women’s land movement began in the 60s and 70s amid a time of political turmoil and a desire to re-connect to the land.
text reads Women's Land Communities, with archival photos photos of lesbian magazines, with text as follows: The women’s land movement began in the 1960s and 70s amid a time of political turmoil and a desire to re-connect to the land. Women’s communities were especially popular as they served as an escape from patriarchal society. Radical feminists believed that seperation from the patriarchy -- and from men -- was the only way to be free. alt text: Women in these communities often lived off the land, healing their relationship with nature and bonding with each other. Women built shelter, grew and prepared food, cared for children, and earned money through cottage industries. Everything was shared. alt text: Women’s land communities were not perfect. Often, they suffered from a lack of members or economic resources. Some became controversial due to their exclusion of trans women, bisexual women, BIPOC and working class women.

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy
maxkennerly.bsky.social Max Kennerly @maxkennerly.bsky.social · 23d
Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess).
www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Layoffs Already Higher Than for Any Full Year Since 2020 Announced US job cuts by quarter It’s been harder than normal to get a grasp on the US labor market lately, with several agencies that produce key economic data, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, going dark during the government shutdown. Even before that, President Donald Trump’s efforts to downsize the US government left holes in the sprawling federal statistical system. But private datasets have helped fill in some of the gaps. A report from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed almost 950,000 US job cuts this year through September, the highest year-to-date total since 2020—and that was before the heavy October run of announcements. (Excluding that first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, US job cuts in the first nine months have already surpassed full-year layoffs for every year since 2009.) When something is almost the worst since the Great Recession, North says, “that’s not a very encouraging number.”

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity.

It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.
