If the developers are to be believed that this community benefit agreement was their final offer, I am curious what the "No" voters would have liked to see happen next. I haven't been able to see where the city had the leverage, and the benefits agreement is honestly better than I expected it to be.
"Yes" is an option in this @lancasteronline.bsky.social Opinion poll, but you wouldn't know it from the results thus far. Vote here: lancasteronline.com/opinion/

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔 thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...
Teen Vogue's Closure and the Quiet Defunding of Worker Consciousness
Teen Vogue’s shutdown marks more than a media loss. This is a warning about how profit-driven consolidation quietly dismantles worker awareness and voice.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film

The need for food is especially dire, as Pennsylvania’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are expected to run dry this Saturday. As of September, 55,000 people in Lancaster County, or about 1 in 10 residents, were enrolled in the SNAP program.
Social services providers in Lancaster County, including the United Way of Lancaster County and the Lancaster County Food Hub, are seeing a surge in demand as federal and state budgets battles threaten the resources people depend on.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.
The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts
The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Hello! I would be happy to help. You can email me lollardfish at gmail with a draft of a piece and a pitch and I will help you refine it to improve your chances of being published. I mean this. I've helped a few dozen people these last six months.
The newest budget numbers out of NSF are... not good. We're looking at worse than worst case scenarios for U.S. research universities. That's in addition to all the other attacks. Every person w/ a word processer and an hour of time should be penning an op-ed to their local papers this weekend.
