Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.
This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety.
Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people.
We need more regulation, not less. Hello?

The Trump administration just shut down a food safety committee to prevent bacteria in baby formula.
They are also threatening to fire employees who prevent deli meat from being infected with Listeria and applesauce from being laced with lead.

I’m going to say this. I don’t know what will happen. But I think our fear is causing us to underestimate our chances. And part of me thinks that you know what, they fucked with the wrong country.

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.
If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?
The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel.
They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.
Keep up the fight.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
