Architect, working to make the profession easier than it was for me.
Moving my aunt to a memory care facility this coming week. This process has been a long time coming, but it’s still really scary. At least she’ll be closer to myself and the rest of the family. She needs that.

I’ve noticed that the day laborers near my house have moved out to the street entering Home Depot

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Just a reminder that 39 states allow for the recall of US representatives and senators. Most states have requirements such as, negligence of duties. Time to change the fight.

USDA quietly said Friday it will, after a century, end the Farm Labor Survey (FLS), the only wage survey of ag employers.

FLS is a critical input to setting local minimum wages for H-2A visa workers to try to avoid harm to U.S. workers' wages.

Public tours of the White House have been suspended indefinitely because of planned construction on a massive ballroom expected to start next month.

While cancellations happen frequently, a hiatus that could stretch months or years is rare.
White House tours canceled indefinitely because of Trump’s ballroom
The White House has canceled tours for September, and it’s unclear when the long-standing tradition will resume.

When I first met my partner, from St.Louis, he was a NFL fan. Sundays were football, football, and more football. Thanks to your “business” decisions, he could really care less about football now. I can’t imagine he’s the only one.

I’m convinced that the ICE raids on the agriculture fields is to send farm workers to private prisons so they can be sent back to the farms, but the farmers have to pay the prisons instead of the farmers. Add a middleman and it becomes slavery.

California grows about a third of the country’s vegetables, three-quarters of its fruits and nuts, and employs nearly 900,000 farmworkers each year.

The mood among those farmworkers these days? Fearful.
Immigration and the future of California farming
Over half of California farmworkers are undocumented. Recent raids have put the industry on edge.

Another weekend visiting my aunt. Can’t believe that it’s only 1 month since creating Team Auntie, and everyone surrounding her is fantastic. I got so lucky.

In case you're wondering...

it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.

And nobody has been fired...

Don't stop talking about SignalGate

🌹 I was but a lad grabbing for a lunch bag before school, but I knew of King.

My aunt is a huge opera fan and attended the LA Opera today. She loved the performance. Really didn’t think she would be able to do this 4 months ago. Sometimes, it’s the little successes.

@altnps.bsky.social I get EPA emails. I just got a notification that I need to re-sign up for EPA news. Is this legit or it just going to be Trump propaganda?
