A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if Israel interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in Spain and Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.

These statements were the spark that lit the most widespread and powerful action in Italy in solidarity with Palestine: a nationwide day of strikes, blockades, marches, and clashes with police — who responded with brutal repression.

Under the slogan “Blocchiamo Tutto” (“We Block Everything” for Gaza), hundreds of thousands of workers and students led actions in at least eighty cities across the country — including in Milan, Rome, Naples, and Florence.

ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns Tuesday night, but Nexstar and Sinclair are keeping the show off their affiliate stations.

Four Democratic lawmakers are opening a probe into Nexstar and Sinclair, two major TV station owners that are refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show amid criticism of his on-air comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In a letter, first obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers asked the corporate heads of both companies for more information about their decisions to pre-empt airings of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “how those decisions may relate to regulatory issues pending with the Trump administration.”

“If you suspended a late-night comedian’s show in part to seek regulatory favors from the administration, you have not only assisted the administration in eroding First Amendment freedoms but also create the appearance of a possible quid-pro-quo arrangement that could implicate federal anti-corruption laws,” the lawmakers wrote.

ver the past decade, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (Ice) has amassed millions of data points that it uses to identify and track its targets – from social media posts to location history and, most recently, tax information.

And there’s been one, multibillion-dollar tech company particularly instrumental in enabling Ice to put all that data to work: Palantir, the data analytics firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, the rightwing mega-donor and tech investor.

For years, little was known about how Ice uses Palantir’s technology. The company has consistently described itself as a “data processor” and says it does not play an active role in any of its customers’ data collection efforts or what clients do with that information.

Now, a cache of internal Ice documents – including hundreds of pages of emails between Ice and Palantir, as well as training manuals, and reports on the use of Palantir products – offer some of the first real-world examples of how Ice has used Palantir in its investigations and during on-the-ground enforcement operations.

Documents offer rare insight on Ice’s close relationship with Palantir

The General Services Administration is looking to reinstate hundreds of laid-off employees who managed its governmentwide real estate portfolio.

GSA’s Public Buildings Service is giving laid-off employees the option to return to their jobs, after sending them reduction-in-force notices earlier this year.

“This serves as an update to your previously issued notice of reduction in force. Your specific notice of Reduction in Force (RIF) has been rescinded, effective immediately,” acting PBS Commissioner Andrew Heller wrote in a notice obtained by Federal News Network.

GSA is giving PBS employees until the end of the day on Friday, Sept. 26, to accept or decline reinstatement. If employees accept the offer, they must report to their previous posts by Oct. 6.

The Public Buildings Service faced the brunt of GSA's widespread layoffs, amid plans to drastically shrink its real estate portfolio.

Students at a high school in Wisconsin are upset about their district's new electronic pass system that limits the number of times a student can use the bathroom during the school day and week.

The new ePass system at Arrowhead Union High School, located in a suburb of Milwaukee, functions as an electronic hall pass that students must use to take bathroom breaks during school hours.

Jimmy Kimmel will return to the airwaves Tuesday night after his suspension by ABC was met with a massive public backlash. But while they say the comedian’s reinstatement is cause for celebration, advocates say that it’s just one small victory in a much larger fight against the Trump administration’s campaign to censor dissent.

Andrew O’Neill, the advocacy director of the group Indivisible, which called on its members to boycott ABC‘s parent company Disney in response to the company’s capitulation to President Donald Trump, said that Kimmel “wasn’t reinstated because Disney executives slept on it and had a change of heart.”

“He’s back on air because those executives got a wake-up call from the American public,” O’Neill said. “People all over the country showed up, canceling subscriptions, protesting outside ABC and Disney, Nexstar and more, and made it damn clear this political alliance with Trump was not in Disney’s best interest. Trump’s authoritarian playbook is unpopular, and when these CEOs comply, it’s not only cowardly. It’s unstrategic.”

Shields and other researchers have repeatedly flagged concerns about lower quality of care at mental health facilities owned by for-profit corporations, in part due to efforts to cut staff and reduce costs. Companies have defended the quality of care they provide.

ProPublica reported Monday that over 90 psychiatric hospitals across the country have violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in the past 15 years. The vast majority of them — around 80% — are owned by for-profit corporations.

Yet only a handful have faced any consequences from either the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, both of which are responsible for regulating the law. In the rare cases when hospitals have faced fines, the penalties have been trivial compared to the earnings of each for-profit hospital chain, the investigation found.

For-Profit Hospitals Continue to Violate EMTALA With Few Repercussions

Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found.
