Can confirm.
When I was young (born 1977) a lot of the U.S. only had 3 channels: ABC, CBS, and NBC. Some people also had access to PBS stations. Since we lived in far northern VT we were blessed with a couple of Canadian stations - having CBC meant I got to watch Kids in the Hall and SCTV!

Wrote about the most violent day in D.C.'s history, January 6, 2021, the current takeover of that city by the guy who instigated it, the right-wing snowflakes complaining they're afraid to walk down the street, and why the right fears and loathes cities (and lies about why). Bonus Epstein finale.

Gosh, I wonder who picks fresh vegetables.
ICYMI, the eye-popper in today's PPI: a 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices.

It's the largest month-on-month increase ever recorded in the summer (data to 1947), and one of the ten largest ever, regardless of season.

Terminating the contracts of over 400,000 VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, is union-busting.

We stand with veterans. Join our federal worker unions tomorrow for a day of action to tell VA Secretary Collins to respect veterans and keep his promise to VA union workers!
