We clock in as we always do, and then when we clock out, we get back to work.
We do it tired, we do it scared, we do it after we put the kids to bed and get the bills paid. We spend one weekend day at the mutual aid distro, instead of two weekend days at the bar.
We have to. That's it

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

The Supreme Court is considering whether to take up a case on glyphosate. They should.
Otherwise, the growing state patchwork of pesticide labeling laws could force glyphosate or other pesticides off the market, costing farmers over $1 billion. thebreakthrough.org/issues/food-...

1. why don't we have automated shower systems? something like a drive thru car wash, but for humans.
2. why can't I get copies of xrays online, with all my other test results? I have to submit a record request, and get them on a DVD?!
