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.

The worst thing to happen to the consumer the past 20 years is the popularization of the ‘store membership’. I can’t walk into a single market anymore and just get a regular price like everyone else. No, I need to be a member to get your not inflated price. Fuck your memberships and your games.

The ongoing Musk nazi tweets just have me wondering if corporate boards are even a thing anymore

NEW INFO HAS REVEALED that the 28-year-old Mexican man killed while running from ICE last week was just visiting on short tourist visa—and already had a plane ticket to go home. newrepublic.com/post/213277/...

Man Who Died Running From ICE Was Tourist With a Ticket Home

The man has been identified as Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran, who was in the U.S. on a tourist visa and already had a plane ticket to go back to Mexico.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

The “vibe shift” proclaimed Nov. 2024 - Jan. 2025 was just some elites—in business, media, law, and some higher ed admins—who kinda liked the fascism and gave themselves permission to accommodate it. That’s all it ever was. A close presidential election is not somehow a binding cultural referendum.

Never thought a episode that's exclusive to Disney+ would have Homer be gay for Skinner but here we are

@cesarwegetit.bsky.social Just finished watching the newest #TheSimpsons and my god, it's incredible! The story is great, the backgrounds are visually stunning, the animation is beautiful and the song choices are a chef's kiss. Great job to all the cast and crew of the show!

Maybe outside of O C'mon All Ye Faithful, Simpsley may be my favourite Disney+ exclusive episode of The Simpsons so far

I feel like we're not talking about how "gender tests" for participation in girls sports IS SEXUAL ASSAULT OF MINORS STATE SANCTIONED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF MINORS

SIMPSLEY is dropping on D+ this Friday 7/3! Inspired by Patricia Highsmith’s “The Talented Mr. Ripley”, and directed by the incredible Debbie Mahan. We had a lot of fun making this dark, murdery, but still silly Simpsons episode. Hope you dig it! youtu.be/zHwpTZ2r-DM?...

Roots is a bicentennial jawn so in 50 years we went from groundbreaking miniseries watched by the whole country to banning copies of the book

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

Witnessing southern states rush to dismantle black voting power is truly truly some heartbreaking shit to behold

Scavengers Reign is a show where at one point you watch the entire life cycle of a plant for like 5 minutes and it’s somehow the best thing you’ve ever seen. If you haven’t watched this show you are depriving yourself of transcendent beauty.

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Here’s what I think Jesus got wrong.

Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.
