For the first time in four decades, journalists and other employees at the New York Times are staging a large-scale walkout.

http://marionjensen.com/2009/06 Barring a breakthrough, @nytimes staff will walk out from midnight to 11:59pm Thursday, Dec. 8.

We’re asking readers to stand with us on the digital picket line and not visit any NYT platforms tomorrow. Read local news. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak. https://t.co/KiUlHAtkuh

New York Times workers are demanding a $65K salary floor—covering editorial & tech staff, security guards, concierges, Times Center staff & more.

The NYT can afford it.

The Supreme Court will hear argument on President Biden’s student loan-relief program.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas has temporarily struck down Biden’s student debt forgiveness program after a plaintiff filed a suit claiming it was “unfair for people who didn’t qualify.” The kicker: this same plaintiff received almost $50,000 in PPP loan forgiveness.
