San Diego: The USS Lincoln is expected back Thursday (10/8) at noon. Let’s give them a big welcome back and make those sailors know we did not forget them even if this Administration did.

Rural water in Kansas is being polluted by nitrates from feedlots. Nitrates cause birth defects and increases in colorectal, bladder, and breast cancer, and thyroid diseases. Clean water is a human right.

It takes approximately two weeks for a carrier group to get from Guam to San Diego. San Diego: Let’s get ready to welcome the USS Lincoln back home 10/4-7.
Stars and Stripes@starsandstripes.bsky.social · 2w agoThe aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln departed Guam on Sunday after a brief logistics stop that marked the crew's first time on U.S. soil in nine months following nearly seven months in the Middle East and a 208-day stretch at sea. (from @alexmwilson.bsky.social)
They’re making the USS Lincoln do war games with Australia before heading back. This is ridiculous. Bring them home!

Huge picket line of workers on strike outside the Encore Casino in Everett, Massachusetts. Contracts for thousands of workers expired Monday.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Shuler: It’s time to put the full weight of the labor movement behind candidates who will actually deliver… We’re going to turn out union voters and their families on a scale we never have before. We’re training 50,000 election protectors to staff every battleground district in the country.
MOHAI workers announced the formation of a union today, with more than 70% of eligible rank-and-file workers signing cards with CWA Local 7800. They are asking for voluntary recognition from the Seattle museum. Some of their core demands include pay equity, transparency and benefits for part-timers.
Believe everything you’ve heard. Coyote vs. ACME is as good as everyone is saying. Just delightful, poignant, topical, zany, hilarious.
I feel like this list was made by someone who doesn’t know very much about artistic and acrobatic gymnastics or tumbling. Kaylia Nemour’s bars routine from the last Olympics is the only one that may belong on this list.
