When 19-year-old José Obeth Santiz Cruz arrived in Franklin County, Vermont, to work on a dairy farm, following the journey from Chiapas that so many of his fellow villagers had traveled before, he didn’t expect to return home so quickly. But by the time he was 20, he came back to his family in a casket, after getting sucked into a mechanized gutter scraper while he was working alone in a barn and choking to death.
Cruz’s death formed a tragic connection between local labor activists and the dairy workers, eventually giving rise to a “solidarity collective,” which began to organize the dairy workforce while educating the public on the brutal working conditions they faced—60-to-80-hour weeks in hazardous conditions, in many cases earning less than the state’s minimum wage.
“José Obeth’s death was the spark for this community of farmworkers,” said Enrique Balcazar, longtime dairy worker and Migrant Justice organizer, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter, “and for us to begin to come together and talk about the conditions that we face. And through that process of coming together, we began to talk about what needed to change so that nobody would suffer the same fate as José Obeth.” | |

Chris Magnus of Tucson, Ariz., has always been an unusual police chief.
He publicly criticized the anti-immigration policies of the Trump administration. He appeared to surprise his own mayor when he abruptly offered his resignation after releasing a video of a man who died in police custody. He was recognized nationally as the man in uniform hoisting a “Black Lives Matter” sign at a protest.
President Biden is now preparing to nominate Chief Magnus to be the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, signaling an intent to bring a seismic cultural shift to an agency at the center of some of the more contentious policies of President Donald J. Trump, particularly the separation of thousands of migrant children from their families. Chief Magnus will be expected to make good on Mr. Biden’s campaign pledge to increase oversight at the sprawling agency, one 60 times larger than the department of roughly 800 officers he led in Tucson. | |

To rally support for their efforts to unionize, workers at Georgia’s Floyd County Productions [ed: TV's Archer] have turned to what united them in the first place: animation.
The nascent Floyd County Productions Guild has released an animated music video that makes the case for a union. “Solidarity forever,” sings a choir, in a playful twist on the “Glory, glory, hallelujah!” refrain from “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” before the singer enumerates the workers’ goals including sick days and holidays, a comprehensive harassment plan, an end to at-will employment. The video ends with a plea to management to recognize the union. | |

Meet Tracii Hutsona. “She can talk anybody into anything,” said her sister. Over decades, authorities say, she did.
...
Ten years later, even as Ms. Kidd fired Ms. Hutsona, a hospitality group was also trying to sue the Hutsonas.
The Hutsonas had opened a breakfast-themed restaurant in San Diego, and called it Breakfast Bitch. They opened a second outpost in Phoenix, Ariz.
Queens Hospitality was accusing the Hutsonas of stealing the idea from a Miami Beach eatery called Bacon Bitch.
Both restaurants feature signs that read, “Bitch don’t kill my vibe,” greet customers with the phrase “Welcome bitch” and identify entrees as “main bitch” and side items as “side bitch.” | |
