This South Park episode is going to be a banger.
Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani. 😄

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

@bradlander.bsky.social said he was at immigration court in NYC today and 8 asylum seekers were taken, not permitted to make their cases under U.S. asylum law.
A few hours later in the same court plaza, New Yorkers stood up for those and other #DisappearedinAmerica with @workerscircle.bsky.social.

It is unconscionable that people are being disappeared in our city, in this country. #disappearedinamerica
In NYC, in the shadow of ICE and the federal courts, people stand up for the #DisappearedinAmerica. Others did the same all over the country. Find their images and spread the word.
Not in our names.

Spare a thought for Jessica Ramos, who threw out her principles & alliances for a spot in the Cuomo administration, and today got 0.39% and is watching a likely Mamdani primary win.

This is always who Brad has been, and I hope more people see that after yesterday. He absolutely deserves a spot on your ballot. And don’t rank Cuomo!
Brad earned a spot on everyones list. He’d be a fine mayor. I’m ranking Zohran 1 but Brad is my solid 2. Please rank him!
AND DONT RANK CUOMO.
AND DONT RANK CUOMO.
Good morning.
@ezraklein.bsky.social just made it abundantly clear: "Lander sure looks like the kind of guy you’d want in charge at a time like this."

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

This is great, and just reminded me that a bike trip up to City Island this summer is going to be a must-do.
Wonderful to meet with residents and small business owners on City Island, and stop by Clipper Coffee, Cinema on the Sound and Dan’s Parents’ House. Visit these gems!
This is a campaign for every New Yorker in every neighborhood across the five boroughs.

Mamdani is now ahead of Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic NYC mayoral primary, a new poll found.
Mamdani surges in new poll, leading Cuomo for first time in New York mayor's race
The former governor has topped every voter survey since entering the race, but the democratic socialist is gaining on him.
