This Day in Labor History: November 25, 1865. Mississippi created the first of the Black Codes. Designed to recreate slavery in all but name, this signified the South’s resistance to the freeing of their labor force and the lengths to which it would go to tie workers to a place under white control.

This Day in Labor History: November 26, 1910.A factory in Newark, New Jersey caught on fire, killing 25 workers. This should have been led to workplace safety reform, but because wealthy people did not see the people making their clothing die, nothing happened. Triangle would be next year!!!

Trump never had a fan base.
He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.
It’s as stupid as it sounds.

I briefly thought the Seattle Times' "save print newspapers only" columnist was advocating for online news, but nope: The bill he supports would fund only websites run by print publications or nonprofit news outlets, setting a standard for online news that no print outlet has to meet.
Another WA legislative push to support local news
Washington legislators may consider two different ways to support the state's local news industry in 2026.

If only ensuring healthcare to millions was as simple as sending $2K in the mail.
You’ll keep hearing about HSAs from the likes of Rick Scott and Trump like its magic.
It isnt. And its not remotely close to a serious plan to get people what they need: real health insurance
