Letters: Oppose book ban legislation and support school librarians This year, the best way to fight book banners is to advocate for school librarians.

Labor leaders and management typically start negotiations of major contracts 6 months ahead of expiration to ensure quality time to work through complex issues on the path to labor peace. The President watched a UFC fight and spent less than a day to get to world peace.

“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

In Minneapolis today.. more later

Solidarity melts ICE. Incredible movement moment today in Minneapolis where freedom fighters struck a mighty blow against the forces of repression and reaction.
