This is how married Rep Chuck Edwards invited a staffer to an Adam Sandler show. The assembled puzzle says, in part, "my track record with you for comedy is not very good"--alluding to past sexual harassment I'm sure!! Being a young woman in any profession is EXHAUSTING.

This just might be the most psychotic act of sexual harassment I’ve ever seen. Not the worst per se, or most menacing but in terms of sheer insanity it’s really up there.

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

Via Yana Gallen at Summer Institute, both men and women care about amenities like work boundaries. The things we do to attract top female talent make the workforce better for everyone!!

I'm wondering lately if some people would have thought Hitler's actions towards Jews were totally fine as long as he stopped just short of mass murder. Kidnapping, concentration camps, stealing possessions, stripping of legal status, death by neglect or violent arrest...

🧵The @newyorkermag.bsky.social has a devastating, in depth examination of the Camp East Montana detention center constructed at Fort Bliss near El Paso. The story focuses on several migrants held there, inclding Rey, who fled Cuba in the 90s on a raft fashioned from a truck tire.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.

Devastated that Unilever is shutting down the Ben and Jerry's foundation, in betrayal of the original merger agreement to allow it to continue to operate without corporate interference. Ben and Jerry's has been a valued funder of our work at @openheartsnyc.bsky.social and countless grassroots orgs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2026 CONTACT: Alexandra MacLean 1-802-272-0443 The Ben & Jerry's Foundation Announces Suspension of Operations Following Funding Cutoff by Unilever/Magnum After 40 years of supporting grassroots social change, the Foundation will be forced to suspend operations unless it obtains a favorable ruling in its legal challenge South Burlington, VT, - The Ben & Jerry's Foundation today announced it will suspend operations as of December 31, 2026, unless it obtains a favorable ruling in its legal challenge to its loss of funding. The Foundation is actively pursuing that challenge which is expected to extend into next year and is fully committed to seeing it through. This year-end suspension of operations follows the April 2025 decision by Unilever’s spinoff, The Magnum Ice Cream Company (TMICC), to cut the Foundation's funding and its more recent mandate for the Foundation to vacate its corporate office by today, July 15, 2026. Without these essential resources, the Foundation cannot continue its work. "After forty years of investing in grassroots organizations working to make the world a more just and better place, TMICC is causing us to shut down at exactly the moment that work is most urgently needed,” said Liz Bankowski, President of the Board of Trustees. “While we’ve lost funding and been removed from our office, we stand firm in the belief that the law and the facts are on our side.” Since its founding, the Ben & Jerry's Foundation has been unwavering in its mission: to support progressive social change at the grassroots level and to engage Ben & Jerry's employees in that work. Last October, the Foundation celebrated its 40th anniversary, a milestone honoring thousands of small grassroots organizations whose work to advance justice, human dignity, and environmental protection was bolstered by the Foundation's early and often catalytic support. Beyond the national grants program, the withdrawal of funds also affects roughly $600,000 contr…For more than 25 years, following Unilever's acquisition of Ben & Jerry's in 2000, the Foundation operated without corporate interference - a true testament to the integrity of the original merger agreement. That agreement established an Independent Board to oversee the company's product integrity and historic social mission and provided for Foundation funding under an annual formula. The Foundation's independence was never questioned, even when it funded Migrant Justice during a period when that organization was considering a boycott of Ben & Jerry's. Rather than interfering, Ben and Jerry’s, led by the Independent Board, responded by becoming the first dairy company to establish a human rights program designed and built by farm workers themselves. "The Ben & Jerry's Foundation was a key early funder for our work; they helped us get to where we are today," said Will Lambek, of Migrant Justice. "They believed in the human rights vision of Vermont farmworkers, even when it brought us into direct conflict with the company itself. The Foundation's decision to fund Migrant Justice while we were campaigning against Ben & Jerry's was a testament to its independence, courage, and integrity. They have brought that same integrity to all of their funding decisions over the past forty years." Everything changed in early 2025, when Unilever restructured its ice cream businesses under a new corporate entity, TMICC. Using a pretextual governance review and a promised but never-disclosed audit, TMICC moved to remove a Foundation trustee and members of Ben and Jerry’s Independent Board and to cut off funding to the Foundation. The Foundation joined the Independent Board in a legal challenge under the merger contract, the case that is currently pending in federal court in New York. "We are a $6 million foundation,” said Bankowski. “TMICC is a multi-billion-dollar multinational corporation. This is exactly the kind of David and Goliath fight our grantees face every day – and like the…

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Cape Verdeans are now honorary Philadelphians because that was basically ROCKY. They weren't "supposed" to be there, much less going the distance with the champions and the GOAT, who had to give it everything they've got just to eek out a win in overtime. Bravo.

There are almost as many SCOTUS justices as there were total trans athletes in NCAA sports the year before they were banned. If you think the trans athlete issue was about sports fairness, I have a bridge to sell you.
