They started their private label in response to producers increasing prices as their costs were going down. Wild.
Weird that we can take this for granted but like these same producers upping prices during a pandemic and cover of expected inflation is conspiracy

In a class group project we were working on bike lane use/safety and a fellow said “you know how they make you learn how to drive a car in HS” and a bomb went off in my head.
I think we should have bicycle riding lessons for street and path safety, repairs etc at aged twelve

“Chicago is where I was born and raised. And honestly, biking just makes me feel at peace. I'm usually not the most calm person - when I'm biking though, my mind is centered. I can pay attention to my surroundings. It's kind of like a meditation for me.” 🧵

I feel silly publicizing a book in these times BUT my book describes how constitutional structures allowed the accumulation of generational wealth + rights for settlers and white people. These are the same advantages MAGA is trying to preserve today. Pre-order page:

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Makes me think of how Mamdani promised to keep police commissioner he previously said he would get rid of, after meeting city elites. They were almost certainly nor his donors or voters, not in his coalition at all and got him to move on a major staffing decision before he got elected. $$=problems
Ro Khanna, who has called for Chuck Schumer to be replaced, says the only reason other Democrats aren't calling for it is because it would "offend a lot of donors."
"Are we gonna be beholden to the donors that have gotten us two terms of Donald Trump, or are we gonna listen to people?"

I felt that they were doing this to protect the filibuster more than anything else.
Which makes one wonder for who’s benefit. It’s been shown that when Rs wield it they can get concessions and Dems can’t. So for who’s benefit would you save the filibuster

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

To this point: I was thinking bout how Bovino is committing crimes on camera and would be aeasy for the next justice dept to put away but if a candidate wants to “move on” without justice this is not going to go well. I’m seeing certain hopefuls who can’t even support the Dem mayor of nyc, so
Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

Bovino went into popular Carniceria Aguascalientes in heart of Little Village.
“They said they were just here to buy something,” said Elizabeth Gutierrez. “I told them we wouldn’t serve them and escorted them out. Bovino seemed upset, but I don’t care.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/08/c...
