Employers, having lost a way of telling strong from weak candidates, have cut all new hires’ pay, and more often end up recruiting worse candidates

“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

This story of reproductive abuse/forced sterilization/hysterectomy is from 2020, & it's the same that the State performed countless times to Black & Native women, that Nazis did, so many eugenicists over time--
It wouldn't surprise if it's happening now, too.
This is what's at stake, why we fight.

no I’m not surprised, just imagining (among other things) an opposition party that took this population seriously and devoted itself over the many years it would take to make this country actually livable for them
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."
Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.
The percentage of younger women in the U.S. who express a desire to migrate permanently has surged in the past decade.

Same. My great aunt’s 70s phone number or my now closed 80s bank account. But what next?
No, really, I love the way my brain remembers my telephone number from 1987 and my dad’s car reg from 1977 but not the reason I walked into this room.

Sometimes heroines are beautiful, smart, & tackle the world. Sometimes, they’re neither bold, nor assertive but find their own path in life. One that involves piglets.

Smiling at customers already in the store will fix the bottom line?!?
This is trying to make the staff the thing that needs to be fixed.
It is not the staff.
It is not the staff.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

This is...not good.
Leaked emails show the “progressive” Chamber for Progress is coordinating with Google to quash copyright suits against tech giants. Its CEO, and several board members, used to work for Google. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/sDcjwJr
‘Progressive’ Tech Group Asks Trump to Block AI Copyright Cases - The American Prospect
The Chamber of Progress’s campaign to promote fair use, which they have created a campaign around called “Generate and Create,” comes as at least three of the nonprofit organization’s past or current backers are being sued over copyright claims.
