I highly recommend the documentary One to One: John & Yoko. It’s very engaging and moves quickly with short segments. You’ll get a 1970’s education, or you’ll have your old memory banks stimulated. Lots of news clips, commercials, and music as you follow John and Yoko in 1972.

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.
![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.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

Something is happening here. What it means is obvious. Fascism is rising and it ends only if we stop it with the same resolve our grandparents showed.

On November 14, 2025, in Evanston, Illinois, disturbing video footage emerged showing Border Patrol Goons attempting to flee the scene of an accident. In their escape, they resorted to pepper-spraying witnesses, instilling fear and intimidation in the community that resides just outside Chicago.

i feel like someone needs to tell the department of homeland security that they are fat & their mom is ugly
Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.
