This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

Help Alma and her family Hi,

The UN: "The number of incidents in Gaza, including shootings, shelling and attacks, rose 46% in the week of April 12 to 18."

The Gazans are displaced, without aid or infrastructure and under constant attack. They rely on our donations.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem and to others. 💜

Reading Room: A Catalog of New York City's Branch Libraries - Urban Omnibus

Since it's #NationalLibraryWeek, I am going to share a cool library thing every day.

Today, I am sharing "Reading Room" a project by Elizabeth Felicella, a photographer, who passed away way too early last year at 58 years old.

Will More Warehouses Burn? A California logistics worker allegedly burned down a 1.2-million-square-foot warehouse in anger over low pay. The billionaire class may have to learn the hard way: you can only pack so much pressure ...

A California logistics worker allegedly burned down a 1.2-million-square-foot in anger over low pay. My latest for @jacobinmag.bsky.social connects the dots between financiaization, extreme inequality, the affordability crisis, and the desperation many are feeling.

Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas not only recorded an anthem for the civil rights era – they fought for fair pay and proudly called themselves divas Classic songs ‘Nowhere to Run’ and ‘Dancing in the Street’ captured the revolutionary spirit of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits
