I pronounce this Tasty. As an accessibility bonus, the onion, garlic, ginger, sweet potato, and spinach can all be used from frozen, pre-cut, or fresh tube.

That said every grocery store in the States is going to want you to relieve them of red-fleshed sweet potatoes this week. (1/3)

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

This young woman has lived in America since she was 7.

On her way to visit family for Thanksgiving, she was abruptly detained, shackled, and deported to Honduras. It's not even clear if she had a deportation order.

This isn't going after criminals. It makes no one safer.

This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.

And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.

It's vice signaling as a way of life.

Tech oligarchs have been scrambling for products to retain dominance since the plateau of the home computer and mobile phone. Today, they're forcing 'AI' garbage on us while pushing for mass surveillance and war products, even if they have to make the wars to service them. We can reject this future.

This is fucked up & factually incorrect.

1. MAGA is a fully American thing. We need to own our own shit, not exotify it.

2. MAGA is GLUTTED with suburban middle-class-and-higher ppl. It ain't hillbilly SHIT.

Even a decade ago I'd have far sooner predicted that the US would succumb to authoritarian rule than that it would become a state where vaccines were unavailable.

But if we don't throw RFK Jr. out on his ass, we're headed there fast.

A Kennedy adviser said he wants to preserve the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The health secretary's anti-vaccine allies prefer it collapse.
