United Airlines made over $3.1 billion last year. Instead of reaching a fair deal with its flight attendants, United paid its CEO almost $34 million and provided over $162 million in stock buybacks to shareholders.
United must respect its flight attendants and reach a deal NOW.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

It’s telling when journalists are able to find the active voice. In my mind, the feds are the aggressors, but even if you wanted a more “neutral” framing, you’d make them both subjects in the sentence (Feds and Protestors Clash) rather than making the feds the helpless object of protestor action.
Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

I can't believe I ever watched the today show. I just saw Oprah and her doc on there hawking a book and GLP meds as a lifelong project...literally pushing this idea that you can never go off them. Clinched by and expert who concurred and failed to name the side effects people might really care about
