The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

I live on W burnside and want it to be better. I’m so tired of being told no. My entire generation is living in a holding pattern for the pleasure & comfort of windshield-mentality wealthy elders.

Advocates call on city leaders to pause W Burnside construction so it "works for everyone.” They point to 4 traffic deaths + many injuries in the past 10 years “A street this dangerous is not good for business or tourism. A better Burnside is possible” @portlandmercury.com @taylorgriggs.bsky.social

Imagine if PCEF continued to expand their e-bike subsidy program instead of getting pilfered for cops or a massive stadium renovation for a billionaire

Dispatches from the big ebike event in Portland - the range of ages, abilities, and bike styles really emphasizes the transformative power of e-bikes. I saw someone biking in with a cane in her basket. Don’t let anybody tell you this isn’t a viable path to sustainable transportation.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.
