Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

Trump’s War on Blue Cities:

It is not normal. 🙏Answer the call from Gov. Plitzker:

“So I’m asking you, my fellow Americans across the nation: instead of being bystanders, be upstanders for our democracy”

I wonder if all of the people who were like who cares about about Tiktok stealing all of my data what's the CCP going to do with it are now realizing how bad of an idea that was now that it's all being handed over to the US government

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

When the President calls for the DOJ to target his political opponents—AND publicly—that’s a sign we’re heading for increasing authoritarian behavior.

We’re going to have to fight like hell to protect our democracy.

A few nuggets of #Sinclair from #TheTimeline, including #prostitution bust of 'David Deniston' Smith (yup, real close to an alias of pedopotus) — their CEO through 2017 — in company vehicle... T-1.0. Charming.

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

No thanks, bot-land was not worth my time!

New Countdown Podcast drops at midnight: PLOT TWIST - Kimmel may return to ABC, maybe before the end of the month. Seven signs that a deal may be near. And the left won this saga, handily as Rand Paul and others savage the FCC. Plus Trump impeached himself by posting his memo to Bondi.

If we can’t come together on both sides of the aisle to bring our states and our country together and to speak out in a unified voice against anyone who would seek to settle differences with violence instead of in conversation or at the ballot box, then our nation will stay divided.

Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we’ve seen too many use his murder as an excuse to divide, to blame the so-called “radical left,” from the President of the United States to colleagues in my own legislature.

I’m not, any contracts they sign are their choice. Look, I don’t care if they get paid and were asked to sign a contract.

See there are two sides to every story. Both sides look guilty of not telling the truth!

But TL is the worst IMO, I have paid close attention to her BS. She a shit stirrer.

@aaronparnas.bsky.social Hi Aaron, if you haven’t yet, plz consider opening a Flashes account? It’s the platform developed by the same people at BlueSky. It’s really similar to IG.

If we truly want to boycott the tech monopoly, we need to move off or reduce engagement from those platforms.

I did not watch any of the responses from the creator’s she accused except one. And you know what, I don’t care. Even if it’s true. Why? Because TL is a hypocrite. She probably is worse. The article in Wired screams of MAGA behavior.

Sorry, just now saw your response.

Exactly it’s not. I am not defending the creators she accusing. I am however very suspicious of her, and I am doing it from my own experience with her previous reporting with the WSJ. She is a gossip! And she does not do her due diligence. (1)

I was super disappointed about this after they let @lindseysmithaz.bsky.social go a year ago, the only reason I was still watching was for @geraldbourguet.bsky.social. I hope he starts a sports substack and YouTube channel of his own. I would start following him in a heartbeat!

we don't need to photoshop this shit - he literally wore a trump costume for halloween and posed with lots of guns most of his life

stop doing bullshit

Any FBI Director worth their salt would have intercepted the father’s call, hid the real shooter, and created a narrative which best served the ruling class. Instead, the public now knows the shooter was radicalized by rightwing ideology.

Kash Patel is too cracked out to turn the government levers.

How about that.

We have a serious media problem in this country. The only thing that’s gonna change that is good independent media continuing to grow.
