These tomato pickers earn 86 cents per 25 lb bucket. On an average day a worker fills around 170 buckets --or more than 4000 pounds of tomatoes picked by hand. The fruit is picked green so it ripens red by the time it reaches your store. #WeFeedYou

This will kill people. Some of us have physical bodies that need HRT to live. Trans people’s blood is on the hands of these supposed Christians. This is a declaration of intent to do harm to patients. Somebody needs to sue these genocidal maniacs.
So much for holding up the dignity of every human being. So they are on the side of christian nationalism too? apnews.com/article/us-c...

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Senate Democrats are about to learn about the ineligible in-group
I spent a good chunk of the past 11 months angry, angry at what this regime is doing to this country.
But im feeling levels of unbridled rage that I have not felt in years after watching the democrats negate their biggest win in years with a deal that gives the regime an even bigger victory

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Not the best photo but this is one of the biggest wolffish I've seen while diving in the Pacific Northwest. It wasn't swimming, just hanging out and being very mellow. 🦑

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.
It's resegregation in real time.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Nothing like waking up in the morning & being reminded that your country hates you & everyone in your community.
both parts of this matter:
this would be a near ban in all states; there’s a runway here where fighting back helps hold up falling sky for trans kids. every day matters.
& if you’re like “it’ll be fine—they’ll just wait til after trump” i want you to recall what happened to *your* body from 14-17.
