Star Garden could become only unionized strip club in US, but labor board will have to hear challenges first. Club owners argue dancers can’t vote because they were never employed but were “lessees” who rented the club space

More big city libraries are lifting late fines after finding that they drive away the people who stand to benefit the most from library access. My latest, astutely captured in illo by @connjie
San Diego public libraries get rid of late fines, after a study revealed that nearly half of the library's patrons whose accounts were blocked as a result of late fees lived in two of the city's poorest neighborhoods. via @npr n.pr/2rgwwFh

Killing transparency efforts like ProPublica’s tool = blocking the public's ability to detect when they're being targeted with propaganda and misinformation

As his former roommate, @Ocasio2018, I can attest. He really is clean enough.
.@Ocasio2018 I hear you need a roommate to afford DC housing. Here's my pitch: I have a dog. I can cook paleo. I'm gay. Great book collection. Extensive recipes for LaCroix cocktails. And a gender-neutral wardrobe of athleisure. Clean enough.
