A man and woman selling their services as psychics in Pennsylvania convinced clients to keep paying them to lift the curses that hindered their happiness, taking more than $600,000 in cash and property, prosecutors said. They were arrested this month on multiple charges.

Tomorrow is our third anniversary of our ongoing strike against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Journalists hold power to account and that includes the boss.

I'm so proud of our strikers sticking through it as we wait for our court ruling.

POST-GAZETTE STRIKERS WILL WIN

Tomorrow, our unfair labor practice strike against @post-gazette.com marks it's third full year. Three years of fighting the most lawless union-busting campaign can be tiring, but we're never going to quit fighting.

Last night, we were uplifted to see a new sign adorning the Pittsburgh skyline...

Three banners, two black with white text and one red with white text, that read POST-GAZETTE STRIKERS WILL WIN hang from a yellow bridge with the Pittsburgh skyline in the background.

Israel has killed at least 237 journalists and media workers since October 7, 2023, according to CPJ data. Those who have survived the record death toll have faced being traumatized, displaced, and deliberately starved over the last two years.

More from @niemanreports.org:

The record death toll for news workers in Gaza is just one of the grim realities facing those still reporting as the Israel-Hamas war grinds into its third year.

Former downtown resident here. Planes over Freddy isn’t a new or unusual development. This is the regular route for flights to/from Europe and Eastern US airports. Every day, you can watch dozens (hundreds?) of flights over central NB.
