The Workers Circle and the Close Friends Collective recently came together for a free walking tour through New York City’s Lower East Side. Together, we uncovered the #queer, #Jewish, and labor roots that helped shape the city and the organizers, artists, and community builders who paved the way.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.

And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.

People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Seven years ago today, 11 Jewish people were murdered at the Tree of Life Congregation, a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In their names, we will continue to stand up against hate, bigotry and the rise in antisemitism taking place around the country. May their memories be for a blessing.

President Donald Trump is acting like a dictator: abducting immigrants, occupying cities, silencing voters, and rewarding billionaires, while working families struggle. On October 18, millions across the country came together with one clear message: America belongs to us. #NoKings #NoKingsDay
