- Let's not overlook the fact that the US government has provided stable jobs for Black workers for generations when precarity has been the norm in the private sector. An attack on Federal workers is an attack on Black Americans. www.americanprogress.org/article/publ...
- Everyone who could worked from home today in Ireland. Yet still, climate change doesn't get the immediate and urgent actions needed. What's the point of declaring an emergency if we don't act like we're in one?
