If this is at all correct, this is seriously messed up. And from the reporting it is hard to see this not having some real accuracy. Also, here is a link to the original report by Stateline: stateline.org/2025/08/31/f...

A lot of labor day messaging drives me up the wall because the annoying viral "thank a union" is sometimes updated to "don't just thank a union, form your own!" but no one has figured out a viral "demand the right to organize exists again" and IT'S MY JOB TO FIGURE THAT OUT and i still haven't.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

This is a great round-up of almost missed #science stories. Seems crazy that snails that can grow back their eyeballs and good evidence that the Turin Shroud is a medieval forgery didn't make the cut first time. A bizarre number of people still believe the shroud was wrapped around Jesus 🧪
