Hulk Hogan ratted out other wrestlers attempting to unionize to save his own position and paycheck above anyone else's & gladly accepted funding from Peter Thiel for his Gawker court case that paved frequently abused legal precedents for the rich to shut down any media outlets that embarrass them.

People in a PNW gardening group I follow have been posting photos of orb weaver egg sacs hatching this week. (Orb weavers are your allies in the garden bc they eat pests.) I hadn't seen any in my garden, but I went out this morning and behold: baby orb weavers setting up shop in the wire fence.

According to the official White House account, the US is in the midst of an "insurrection" that warrants federalization of the National Guard, which is why the President is attending a UFC fight and hanging out with Dana White.
The White House has tweeted a video of Trump at UFC hanging out with Dana White right after retweeting Stephen Miller saying the US is experiencing an insurrection in LA.

Stay home at night.

Protest peacefully.

When the guard shows up, go home.

Then protest again.

Peacefully.

They are putting agitators in. Do not engage.

Protest peacefully.

Good night 😴

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness.

Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military.

Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc.

It’s eugenics

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant).

She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

Trump was never serious about a real negotiation to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. Now Vance says they’ll “walk away” if Ukraine doesn’t accept terms that serve Moscow’s interests. Bullying is not negotiating. Nor is pretending to be a negotiator when you’re just there to serve Putin. Appalling.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...
Tricia McLaughlin & @TriciaOhio 0... The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo's own actions and statements. In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'. 's account was false. According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency. After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying. He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson. "You" re not from here. Do you have your papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer, "New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested. Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read. According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name. Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade. The officer also signed the document, which said Hermosillo "read" the document or had it read to him. But Hermosillo said no one read him the document. Other documents created by the officer have inaccuracies. For example, the criminal complaint says that Hermosillo was detained "at or near Nogales, Arizona." But Hermosillo was detained in Tuscon, which is more than 70 miles from Nogales. John Mennell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol, said that it was an "unintentional" error. Hermosillo said he was detained with about 15 other men in a cell at the Florence Correctional Center. He was served only cold food. He said he contracted the flu because "they have it cold in there and everybody's getting sick." Hermosillo said he requested medicine but was not provided with any.

Inbox: "Following a twelve-day strike at Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) in Ottumwa, Teamsters Local 238 members have ratified their best-ever collective bargaining agreement at the facility."
Beverage Workers at Ottumwa Facility Secure Union Health Care Benefits (OTTUMWA, Iowa) – Following a twelve-day strike at Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) in Ottumwa, Teamsters Local 238 members have ratified their best-ever collective bargaining agreement at the facility. It is the third strike the Teamsters won in a little over a month, and the second strike Iowa Teamsters won in less than six months. “From the very beginning, this fight was about securing justice and holding this employer accountable, and that’s exactly what we did,” said Drake Custer, Local 238 Recording Secretary and Business Agent. “These hard-working men and women were fearless, relentless, and united, because that’s what it takes to be victorious on the picket line.” The new three-year collective bargaining agreement includes the workers in a Teamsters health insurance plan, which offers better coverage at a lower cost to the members. It also includes guaranteed paid time off and an eight percent wage increase in the first year of the contract, with additional wage increases every year thereafter. “With this agreement, they won’t be able to work us non-stop anymore, so this was well worth the fight,” said Andy McCabe, a forklift driver at KDP Ottumwa. “Everything we did to come together and win this contract; it shows what happens when we stick together.” Teamsters Local 238 represents a wide range of workers, professions, and industries across Iowa. They are affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents 1.3 million workers across the country.
