I used to size people up on flights, in case we had a LOST-like emergency landing. It's important to know who can make a shelter and start a fire vs who will steal the snack cart and blame it on someone else.

“… a major percentage of these skilled and essential workers are immigrants, many of whom lack legal immigration status.

In fact, of the roughly 2.4 million farmworkers who help feed our nation from coast to coast, at least half are undocumented.” In CA, this number could be as high as 75% 👇🏽
So much of Thanksgiving happens long before any of us sit down at the table. Long before the turkey hits the oven or the pie is sliced, immigrant farmworkers and meatpacking workers have already put in the labor that makes these traditions possible.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Are straight women ok
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

It's pay for play. Or, as we used to call it, corruption
Typically, a company’s revenue, track record and market advantage drive valuations.

But in the age of President Trump’s promised nuclear revival, shareholders see connections to the White House as the road to profitability, investment analysts say.
Kilowatts or connections? Trump’s favored nuclear start-ups soar to riches.
Founders of politically connected nuclear companies that have never built commercial reactors are becoming billionaires.
