Just so we’re clear: it’s the hard work of farm workers who keep fresh food on our tables. They’re out there doing the labor that sustains us all. Respect, fair pay, and protection aren’t just nice ideas—they’re what these workers are owed!

🚨 UPDATE: Today, the Chicago Bar Association updated its rating of Cook County Judge E. Kenneth Wright Jr. to "not qualified," following our reporting. Over 500k people have already voted in Cook County, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections. injusticewatch.org/judges/judicia…

Yesterday 7 of the 30+ employees were laid off at the Academy Film Archive without notice. This included the Director & Head of Preservation who was one of the best managers I ever had. This feels like a death knell for the 3rd largest film archive in North America. (1/3)

if you are canceling a subscription to the LA Times or WaPo (or even if you are not), you should reallocate $$ to Court Watch, which is doing heroic public transparency work and is doing so at a loss because we have a profit-driven court records system CourtWatch.News

That cardboard box in your home is fueling election denial... A boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country. propublica.org/article/uline-…

Co-worker (maskless)back from being out last week: “Wednesday my throat was ON FIRE. I couldn’t get into see my doctor so I went to urgent care. I had strep throat and doctor there said everyone there last week had it. You’re smart wearing your mask!” Me: 🤦🏽‍♀️ ♾️

IT’S HERE! ⚖️ Judges' decisions have a huge impact on people’s lives. But for many voters, these names on the ballot are the most obscure. That’s why we created a nonpartisan judicial election guide for Cook County. #CheckYourJudges interactives.injusticewatch.org/judicial-elect…

With 10 boats expected to make their way off Lake Michigan and back to the shipyards for the winter, today will be a good one to get out and watch a few bridges lift. Starting at Lake Shore Drive at 9am and moving West till the final and 29th bridge at Ashland.

As someone who has survived & responded to catastrophic hurricanes, & seen Red Cross in action— please DO NOT DONATE to the Red Cross. Give to local mutual aid networks, they are going to be the frontline of the response & will do the most with resources you can send them.

Climate chaos does not care if you deny it, it does not care if you vote Democratic, Republican, or Independent—climate chaos will impact us all. We must address climate change, our communities cannot wait.

Feels like “excessive heat warnings” and “make people wait in the median of an expressway for half an hour in the elements” don’t really work well together
