@AvQueenBenet because I know you mentor all the people! @terryscollins @mjrochester just because
Shared these two jobs in six private FB groups that are primarily for women and/or journalists of color, @GregAkers. If you don’t get enough responses, let me know. I’m glad to tap my networks to make sure folks are aware of the opportunities out there.

Court is back in session: ACLU wants longtime ACLU attorney and local member Bruce Kramer to testify to clear up some of the discrepancy about the history of the West TN chapter. Problem is...
Kramer has been sitting in court all morning and he’s the attorney for the four plaintiffs who were dismissed because the judge decided they didn’t have standing.
Looks like Kramer is going to leave now and get deposed later tonight. Defense isn’t liking this at all, but they’re not protesting too much. Judge is directing Kramer to produce any relevant documents.

Recently, I've come across more and more teachers crowdfunding for supplies for their classroom. At first, I didn't give it much thought, but after I bought yet another resource for my room and summed up all I've spent on my classroom, I realized I just can't spend any more. /1
You see, in theory everyone knows how underpaid teachers are. They know we aren't given the resources we need. They may even imagine what the insides of our school buildings look like. /2
They discuss it, "Oh, what a shame. Teachers should definitely make more." They whisper, "I don't know how you do it. I could never work in that area with those kids." /3

Establish a minimum pay standard for Uber/Lyft drivers is part of our broader work to raise-the-floor for workers in the gig-economy, which we launched back in 2016: bradlander.nyc/gigeconomy
First, working closely with @freelancersu, we passed the “Freelance Isn’t Free Act,” making NYC the first city in the country to make sure independent workers don't get stiffed, by providing a right to full and timely payment and new tools for enforcement. bit.ly/2vieq4r
In the first year w/the Freelance Isn't Free Act, freelancers in NYC recovered over $250K in stolen wages. bit.ly/2vaEC0t.

And we believe it will go dramatically higher in future years as people learn about it, so please help spread the word: bit.ly/2vaEZrT

Two Black sisters were attacked and one was murdered on BART in Oakland last night.

White supremacists have already announced plans to be at several Oakland bars tonight to incite violence.

These things are directly related.
OAKLAND.

Today, at 5:30 people will be standing against white supremacists in two different locations. Pick one, show up and show these punks that racial hatred won’t WIN.

The Proud Boys, a white supremacist hate group have announced they will be at Make Westing in Oakland today. Their strategy is to incite widespread violence and spread their hateful rhetoric.

Members of the OAK community will also be at Make Westing tonight from 4pm on.

Thoughts of my own for authors and their publishers on boosting sales of your upcoming book with pre-orders.

Spoiler alert: my answer involves indie bookstores.
And yes, I work with a lot of great ones, so I’m biased. But I think this is still valid advice. /1
So, you’ve got a book coming out. And you’re thinking, I should get my many followers and potential readers excited about this new book that’s about to come out. /2
You’re thinking, I should tweet about my book so my readers can pre-order it. Maybe I’ll give them a single, simple place to go! And you’re probably thinking that Amazon is the answer. But I’m telling you, that’s not the case. /3

Tagging companies on the list of Planned Murderhood contributors. I am DISGUSTED with every single one of you on this list. Some of the names are really shocking considering the business you are in and the fact that income form those businesses you would spend on killing babies
You ALL participated and most are STILL participating in MURDERING of innocent AMERICAN lives. Your resources could be spent on medical care, childcare, playgrounds, education... Instead you choose to follow the leftist agenda and POWER over doing the RIGHT THING.
