The pace of hiring just fell to the lowest since 2011, outside of the pandemic

US businesses are adding workers at the weakest pace in 15 years, excluding the onset of the pandemic, new data showed Tuesday, a sign that there was an even deeper chill cutting through the labor market before the Middle East conflict threatened to shake the US economy.

Struggling kids subjected to conversion therapy as a form of "free speech" is one of the most vile and inhumane precedents I've seen in a while. Most of these goddamned No Kings "liberals" are deadass silent about the war on LGBTQIA.

States cannot ban harmful 'conversion therapy,' SCOTUS rules

It's a stunning setback for LGBTQ+ young people who are put at significant risk for harm by this decision.

Only one of the last 12 guests on David Roberts's Volts podcast have been non-white. All the rest? White people.

When pressed by email on his racism, Roberts cast false aspersions on my mental health, writing, "I encourage you to get the help you clearly need."
