The attempt to arugula-ize Obama’s Cheesecake Factory comment is actually insane. The reason the joke landed is precisely *because* it was relatable to folks who go to the Cheesecake Factory. Elitism woulda been him referring to French Laundry as if everyone goes there. Just because conservative media elites are too dumb to get the joke doesn’t mean it was a bad joke. It just means they are dumb.

Walmart has long made a name for itself as a ruthlessly anti-union company.
It also has now signed a union contract with 800 warehouse workers in Ontario. jacobin.com/2026/10/canada-l…
Re: the awful Vivek commerical-- If Acton's mother has had no contact with her since she was 12 (or 50 years ago) how is her mom an authority on the character of a daughter she has neither seen for 50 years nor knows as an adult?

NEW: Thousands of Florida college students will be disenfranchised by a law banning university-issued ID cards to vote, says new lawsuit.
Concealed carry gun IDs are OK, but not college IDs to comply with Florida's voter ID law.

Case now goes to the OH Supreme Court but the ruling is a big deal. The fact that vouchers mostly fund kids already in private school could turn out to be a big legal liability because it’s what sets up a separate state system.
Also, the decision explicitly frames private schools’ right to choose within its legal argument (the first time as far as I know)
The “use of 'EdChoice' is misleading, given that the school 'choice' is with the private schools not the parents.”

Congressman Harris * invited * reporters to interview him. They all had their cameras and phones rolling and visible to the congressman. There was no expectation of privacy here. As soon as he spoke, he consented to being recorded.

Sometimes, "parental choice" amounts to child abuse for which the child has no recourse to recover that which has been lost - Sometimes it's actually state sponsored (with your tax dollars) child abuse with measurable life long damages. schoolfinance101.com/2026/10…

Pope Leo is right.
Art is not some kind of superfluous luxury that can be eliminated from our lives. It is a crucial part of the human experience.
We cannot let Big Tech oligarchs destroy it.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

There's a lot we still don't know about how Trump's school voucher program is going to impact public schools. But seems pretty telling that the most hopeful vision looks like Spirit Airlines. chalkbeat.org/2026/09/30/how…

You can’t have Power to the People if you don’t have strong unions
At the beginning of their set at Power to the People Fest, Dropkick Murphys—organized labor’s favorite band—brought out @GoIUPAT President @Jimmy_iupat Williams to speak. Big cheer for unions!

Following a Supreme Court of Maryland ruling, my office will refund over $250 million to utilities. Ratepayers covered those taxes through their bills.
I’m calling on utilities to return the full amount through bill credits. This is ratepayer money.

Gov. Wes Moore announces a new Maryland Mortgage Program to help educators, law enforcement, fire, and other first responders buy their first home.
It’s about “first homes for first responders and teachers,” he says.
