if you look real close at culture you'll see that most creators come from middle to upper middle class backgrounds. the poor are written about A LOT. but don't get no chance to speak for ourselves. obviously this creates wonky misshapen caricatures.

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.

It couldn't be clearer what's happening with local legacy media trashing Mayor Wilson: the reactionary centrist majority is about to melt away & they're trying to bake in a narrative that she has fucked up in some catastrophic--but also indefinable--way, to hamstring the coming progressive majority
The pedophile president has an actual pedophile army
Pacific Antifascist Research Collective@pacantifa.is · 5d agoHere is our full list of all 145 sex pests and sexual predators from ICE and Customs & Border Protection in a single image. The entries outlined in red indicate entries involving alleged sex crimes against children.
I’m going to tell y’all’s kids that this is Charlie Brown & Friends.
Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.
it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank
The youngest person held at the ICE center in Texas called Dilley is two months old according to Julian Castro as I’m wrapping my radio stories up for deadline. Get your head around the fact that you live in a country that abducts, incarcerates, & tortures actual babies. That should revolt you.
I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.
"Everyone deserves to feel welcome" is an insane thing to say in defense of people who came there to tell players they weren't welcome
I’m in this general area, they are trying to decimate Washington. They are coming for our sports, our libraries, our grocery stores & our generally accepting communties. I was standing on a corner waiting for a bus just wearing a pink shirt and this sort pulled in front of me, just began mocking me.
WA UFW members are concerned about non-union farm workers due to the dangers of heat and fires in WA. So yesterday they spread out & distributed N95 masks. "Our families depend on us. If something happens to a farm worker, there's no one else to care for our families." #WeFeedYou
Just like last year, it's important for King County voters to mail ballots in early. How early? Why not today? Due to mail processing delays by Trump's USPS, ballots mailed just before or on Election Day are at rick of not being counted. If you do wait until the last minute, just use a drop box!

not to be controversial but i love trans women
Watermelon tastes great on a hot summer day but did you ever think about how it gets to your table? "Angelica" is hard at work in Yuma AZ harvesting watermelons. The peak season lasts thru July. She shares, "It's 111°. It's very tiring to work in this heat." #WeFeedYou
I am very ashamed to live in a country where people will wake up with the terror that the secret police are coming to kidnap them, separate them from their families, and brutalize or even kill them because they are not white.
Hi, I'm Alex, the former host of Reply All. I now host a show called @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social. If you liked Reply All, you should listen because I think it will be extremely your shit. Also if you already listen and could share this that'd be amazing. Thank you! hyperfixedpod.com

The continued suppression of pro Palestinian sentiment by otherwise liberal organizations is so counterproductive. If the sight of a Watermelon upsets you you’re losing whatever internal battle you’re fighting. Just let it go.
It's why IMO, any men who aren't actively fighting against it are part of the problem. Misogynists do not listen to women. Men need to be pulling the cart in this fight.
"Ofelia" shares, "I've worked in agriculture for 25 years. Right now I'm working in Salinas, operating a machine to bunch broccoli. It's tiring work. At the end of the day, my hands are sore." #WeFeedYou
“Obama was opposed to gay marriage, give it time, don’t seek perfection on trans issues from Dems.” Yeah, but gay marriage was a new right LGBT people were seeking. Sports, bathrooms, and IDs are something trans people have had for decades. Going BACKWARDS Is the opposite of the Obama comparison.
It’s important to remember to remember someone’s entire legacy, even if they pop like a balloon.
I had a bunch of boys over yesterday ranging from going into second grade to going into 3rd grade. One, whose mom I know is cool and is a paraeducator- said to the others “have any of you heard of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez?” They all said “yeah she’s bad” and the original asker started a boo chant.
Your air is my air and my air is your air. Borders, which governments and corporations use to shrug off and sell responsibility, are costing us our lives. Go after those responsible no matter where they are. They’re all culpable.
