When WAMU laid off 16 people and closed DCist, the reasoning given was “content strategy word salad," per one staffer.
@abeaujon cuts through the jargon and nonsense with a deeply reported, excellent look at what actually happened: washingtonian.com/2024/04/19…
I somehow did not know until he died that his actual for real first name was Johann. One more wonderful dumb classical music joke for nerds like me. nytimes.com/2024/01/17/arts/…

Jews and labor rights go together like apples and honey.
The fight for better wages, fair pay, paid leave, and workplace safety are fundamental to justice. We are honored to be in solidarity with unions across DC + MD, and JUFJ staff are proud members of @NonprofitUnion @IFPTE.

As pioneering labor organizer Rose Schneiderman said, “The worker must have bread, but she must have roses too.” 🍞🌹In that spirit we're signing off for the long weekend to rest as every worker should be able to do.
Take time this weekend to celebrate labor and all it creates.

We reached an agreement with @MAZONusa for voluntary recognition and look forward to our upcoming negotiations toward a successful first contract! We're grateful for all of your steadfast support of MAZON United and your efforts on our behalf tinyurl.com/35setdrk
What a profoundly disappointing action by @MAZONusa. As a past donor and a fourth generation Jewish union organizer, I have no interest in financially supporting union busting.
Worker solidarity is Jewish — union busting, and denying worker rights, is not. We're driven by the ideals of the inherent dignity and value of each of us working at MAZON, the same Jewish values @MAZONusa proclaims.
We deserve respect. And we will win it. #1u #UnionStrong
Saw Barbie and immediately clocked that Greta Gerwig and I are exactly the same age. Her song choices were peak elder millennial. My gay heart is happy.
It’s shameful for any organization to engage in union busting. It’s extra disgusting when it is an organization like @PPFA that claims to care about working families.
Maybe my emotions are running too high from living in an apocalypse but I just wept at this lovely portrait of a local drag queen. Hoping the poisoned air lets us bring our daughter to see her on Sunday!
Educators are heros, and that includes Drag Queen Tara Hoot who reads to children at Crazy Aunt Helen's.
What a treat to spend time w her, her husband (and dog and cat!), and the kids she inspires.

Woooooo Shavuorial Day weekend!
JUFJ is closed from Friday, 5/26 to Monday, 5/29 for Shavuot + Memorial Day.
Shavuot is a Jewish holiday celebrating the Torah + the beginning of the harvest.
It reminds us to reaffirm our values, like keeping people housed. Learn more here: jufj.org/esther-shavuot/ 1/

Love love love to see orgs representing progressive Jews speaking as a coalition, showing cohesion and power.
I know y'all talk a lot and it's nice to see a bloc out front like this.
As orgs representing progressive Jews across the US on the frontlines of the fight against antisemitism, racism & white nationalism, we celebrate the Biden admin’s release of its National Strategy Document on antisemitism. Read our joint statement: jfrej.org/jointstatement
ALT Logos for: Jews For Racial & Economic Justice, Jewish Community Action, Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, Detroit Jews for Justice, and Carolina Jews for Justice Six Local Grassroots Progressive Jewish Groups Respond to Biden Administration National Strategy on Antisemitism Progressive Jews applaud Administration’s incorporation of progressive recommendations, including not adopting controversial IHRA definition
Today I reset all of my dad’s passwords while entertaining my one year old child and I’m feeling a little 🥪
If I were not already a JFREJ member, this would make me become a JFREJ member.
Love to start a Monday with a new @dragonbabiespod on Zilpha Keatley Snyder! But now I don’t want to start work, just listen to the podcast…

The Senate’s vote on the criminal code was a setback for statehood, of course, but it also revealed an ugly reality about crime politics in America.
Fear easily trumped facts these last few weeks. It shows how little has changed post-George Floyd:

It’s a shame @timkaine didn’t realize he want ready for prime time in 2016. Had he been, he would now live in DC and have a right to talk about our local laws. #HandsOffDC
.@timkaine and @MarkWarner say in a statement that they will vote to block D.C.’s revised criminal code. They say @ChmnMendelson’s move to withdraw it and @MayorBowser’s proposed changes means “it’s not ready for prime time.”
