A farm worker resting of strawberry picking. Her pants are discolored with strawberry stains
The short peak season has begun in the strawberries on CA's Central Coast. In this 9 hour day, "Irma" managed to pick 90 flats or 1,020 of the plastic 1 pint boxes we buy at a supermarket. (A flat holds 12 plastic one pint baskets). She earns $2.20 a flat. #WeFeedYou
Perhaps a response by the interviewer: define 'short term', and, when does this become 'long term'...
The move, intended to soothe jittery markets over the disruption of Middle Eastern oil and gas supplies, underlines how the war has boosted Moscow's ability to profit from its energy exports, a pillar of the Kremlin's budget as it presses its invasion of Ukraine. https://to.pbs.org/4bt1CvX
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Lawyer here:1. "administrative warrants" arent warrants. 2. DHS arent law enforcement. 3. ICE and CBP have no jurisdiction over US citizens. 4. Use of facial recognition by TSA on departure was never approved by Congress or upheld by Courts and is a violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments.
Turning the world over to madmen. That is what is happening. Madmen.

He’s 💯 spot on….well said!
So is anyone from the FBI going to ask the president about the allegation that he raped a 13-year-old girl?
Screenshot of a post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg criticizing Trump, saying money from the Middle East is going into the Trump family’s crypto fund while Americans are being sent to the Middle East for Trump’s war. A video frame shows Buttigieg speaking.
Pete Buttigieg nails it.
When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.
Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

As he sends soldiers to die…
Again. This matters.
The president wore a red tie and a baseball cap to a ceremony in honor of fallen soldiers.
Republicans spend an incredible amount of time and energy finding new ways to obstruct justice and accountability. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...
This absolutely matters.
Can this be true??? “At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says” 3/5/26
Do you have a link to the list of which members voted for/against this? Thank you.
Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.
