"Merry" picks persimmons in Visalia CA. Because of the weather-including the rain and fog-she's worked a lot less hours. "Despite working piece rate & going as fast as I can, I barely make min. wage. I'm very worried. I have bills to pay & I'm not working enough hrs." #WeFeedYou

The federal vaccine committee has voted to end the recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.
This committee has zero credibility and the process for this vote was chaotic.
Please instead follow guidance from expert organizations The American Academy of Pediatrics.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him."
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

They’ve siloed themselves off from vast fields of inquiry and knowledge, which means that they’re not just deeply incurious and uninteresting but also deeply unaware of how incurious and how uninteresting they actually are.
It's kind of mind-blowing how these tech dorks think they're so smart and have the utmost confidence in their genius, while actual smart people are constantly doubting themselves and critiquing their own arguments.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.
We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Anytime you encounter this in the wild, just reply "so?"
The only reason anyone would care if white people "went extinct" (and, Christ, get a grip) would be if they thought white people were inherently superior for some reason. Make them say that with their whole chest.

Exactly. “Moderates” continuously excuse and welcome fascism’s apparent defectors to “the resistance” precisely because they see Trump as the singular threat.
Black women have to keep receipts because moderates are so desperate to let unrepentant nazis into the tent once it suits their calculus
