We're back for year 33 of this series of projects which began in Gopher space in 1993. Our thanks to all who have supported us over that time.

Unlocked Graduates closes down. Think Ahead will be next. It is noteworthy that Teach First and all its spin-offs are seemingly in decline, with one notable exception: Frontline, founded by Josh MacAlister, who is now Children’s Minister. insidetime.org/newsround/unl…

Homelessness remains a growing challenge in Canada. In 2025, over 65,000 people were counted experiencing homelessness in 75 communities in a single night. Everyone deserves safety, dignity & a place to call home. Support change. Raise awareness. #Homelessness #Canada

The movement will not remain confined to the youth. The objective forces that drove students into the streets are driving the working class into struggle, and the union bureaucracies are terrified. wsws.org/en/articles/2026/10…

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation. When we see that traffic and injury-causing crashes spike on the streets around a warehouse — that's exploitation. And it makes our streets less safe. We stand with working people, not corporations that profit by denying them their rights. We stand with @Teamsters and for safe streets in New York City. We will pass the Delivery Protection Act.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability. It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change. I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

New: Records show Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 trips during his tenure, costing $3.3 million in security. We could only connect 138 of those trips and $553,000 in security costs to state business. propub.li/4AVW3SL

We're told progressive ideas are "fringe." Really? 59% want Medicare for All 57% want a $20 minimum wage 61% want a billionaire wealth tax 63% want to pause AI development 66% want the wealthy to pay more into Social Security Maybe it's the establishment that's out of touch.

Congratulations to NYC tenants who organized relentlessly for a two year rent freeze — and won. Starting today, rent stabilized tenants can sign one or two year leases with no rent increases.

Collins’ office claims that our reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and thousands of pages of legal records to independently corroborate much of Kao’s account. propublica.org/article/debun…

Sen. Susan Collins says she was “totally cleared” of pay-to-play allegations by the FBI years ago. But FBI records show that agents remained interested in her office in early 2025, right up until the anti-corruption unit was gutted by Trump. propublica.org/article/debun…

Sylvia Pankhurst, British communist and leading figure in the country's struggle for women’s suffrage, died on this day in 1960. “Although I have been a socialist all my life, I have tried to palliate the capitalist system. But all my experience showed that it was useless trying to palliate an impossible system. This is a wrong system and has got to be smashed. I would give my life to smash it.”

Listen, it's true: @RahmEmanuel is a compelling presidential candidate - as long as you and corporate media continue to never mention or remember that he spearheaded NAFTA that killed the working class and steered the administration whose Wall Street deregulation created the financial crisis; cashed in on Wall Street; cheered the Iraq War; led the White House as it bailed out bankers foreclosing on homeowners; killed the public health insurance option; presided over the political strategy that resulted in Dems losing Congress; turned Chicago city government into his personal corruption machine; oversaw a mayoral administration that covered up the police murder of a teenager; and then once again cashed in on Wall Street. So yes, other than destroying the world, ruining millions of Americans' lives, and creating the conditions for Trump's ascent while he enriched himself and became the human personification of pay-to-play political corruption, Rahm is obviously a great candidate, and clearly the person House Democratic Leader @hakeemjeffries should be taking advice from!

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people. theintercept.com/2026/09/23/…
