"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue."
Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

11.6% of U.S. adults smoke tobacco, though it's known to kill you. 8.8% of U.S. adults disdain seat belts and will admit to it. Again, generations have passed since we learned their utility and safety. 20% of American adults believe vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases they prevent.

"Raul" harvested grapes in Delano CA for 6+ years. He shares, "I cut the bunches of grapes and carefully put them into the trays. Once the cart is full, I wheel the heavy cart out of the field. The grapes will be taken to the packing house where they will be bagged." #WefeedYou

"Edgar" has been a tractor driver in Salinas CA for 20+ yrs. Each October, he prepares the soil for strawberry planting. Then black plastic is placed to protect the plants from the wind & keep the soil warm. The strawberries are harvested from April to July. #WeFeedYou

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Two workers are hard at work loading full boxes of grapes to be taken to cold storage in Mettler, CA. It was already 90° at 1 pm which made this physically demanding job even harder. To load the truck they had to be in the direct sunlight lifting heavy 20+ lb boxes. #WeFeedYou

Earlier today, DOJ basically told the judge in the Kilmar Abrego case they were going to blow off the vindictive prosecution claim.
His attorneys responded, fine, then the criminal case must be dismissed.
