It'll never not be absurd to me that they hired a guy specifically because he killed a homeless man on the subway and had no other marketable skills or experience in tech. Really gave away the game that Silicon Valley is dogshit hucksters and literally nothing else.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

An anti-CRT movement targeted an accomplished educator — driving her out of two Georgia school districts.

The mission began inside a golf community clubhouse on a Sunday afternoon, where parents were coached on how to land a Fox News appearance.

Can we all agree that when a president pardons a guy who was convicted for financing terrorists, and then says he didn't know the guy but "I was told" to pardon him, the follow question MUST be "Who told you to pardon him?" But CBS never asked: who is making decisions in the White House? 1/

This is an ugly development too. Landlords evicting non-white tenants bc, it seems, it’s not worth the risk of a Kavanaugh Raid.

Privatization of enforcement, of a sort.

Well, not enforcement. Harassment.

Which are synonyms to Miller and his racist crew.

After the raid, the building’s Latino tenants were told by the landlord to vacate by the end of the month without what residents described as the legally required 30-day notice. The property is managed by TranGroup LLC.

Someone should ask him how much of his time he spends monitoring his son’s porn usage. He doesn’t have a bank account, so he’s not spending his spare time balancing his checkbook. (Do kids even know what that means?)

Yup. We should be a lot more focused on getting farm workers access to land, capital, etc, so they can grow businesses of their own.

They're already professionals ffs. Invest in the professionals

Kategod 🐉🧿🦑𓅛🪬 @kategodart.bsky.social · 1d

when i lived in salinas ca, the farmers markets around there were mostly full of food that the farm workers were growing themselves on the very edges of the land they were working for millionaires. the bits of land that couldn't really be utilized & i think they were still getting charged to do it

Sarah Taber @sarahtaber.bsky.social · 1d

Every single farmer at every farmer's market in the US could be living below the poverty line

and "most US small family farmers are millionaires with a 6-figure income" would still be true.

Even if you've never met affluent small farmers........they're still there!
