So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

I'm still catching up on the aftermath of Christa Pike's execution ordeal but I really appreciated this piece by @keribla.bsky.social, which provides key context and analysis on botched executions, with myriad examples from recent and not-so-recent years. (Do people remember Angel Diaz? I do...)

"We asked 683 Democratic voters who they might support in the presidential primary that seems set to start any month now, whether Democratic senators should end the filibuster, and how they would feel if Trump died overnight, plus dozens of other questions." www.liberalcurrents.com/what-are-dem...

"To treat an ectopic pregnancy, which is almost never viable, doctors must terminate it. But ... medical providers are [allegedly] hesitating or flat-out refusing to do that in states where they face criminal penalties for performing an abortion."

Big one today. Spoke to folks at The Working World, Seed Commons, and a few worker-owned restaurants and bars about how, exactly, to do the same for your restaurant. And more importantly, why you'd want to. www.weareravenous.com/worker-owned...
