What We’re Reading
|
The Art of Escaping. California Sunday's Escape Issue is out, with varying interpretations on the theme including a first-person essay about being a fugitive, a longread on a peripatetic cow, and more. Escape can also cut close to the bone as in this read about intimate partner violence
in law enforcement.
Targeting Immigrants. ICE is relying on big data to identify, track, and apprehend undocumented people, while HUD wants to evict households with just one undocumented resident.
A reminder that none of this is new: Midwestern states passed legislation designed to keep Black people out in the 1850s, denying property rights and safety to formerly enslaved people.
All In A Day's Work. Janitorial contracts are about to expire in D.C. and Philadelphia, so janitors are preparing for a possible strike. Meanwhile, low-wage workers struggle to breastfeed and pump on the job.
Another group of workers observed a grim anniversary
at the Las Vegas coroner's office, where the legacy of a mass shooting reshaped the workplace climate.
