I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w ago

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

The Trump administration is sending tariff refunds, including $2.2 billion to Apple and $600 million to Amazon. But American consumers? $0. Once again, corporations get billions to line their pockets while Americans pay the price.

A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

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.

There is another factor in not being able to help themselves, the lack of calorie intake affects the brain, it will send the calories to the body, so effectively the brain is in a shutdown, making it even harder to understand the need for help. I've no idea if she is anorexic, but she needs support

For everyone else, the cowardice narrative provides justification for clinging to the notion that underneath all the MAGA madness, the “normal” GOP still exists. It’s a comforting tale that lets us pretend the story began – and will end – with Trump.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

We know that Trump will try to sabotage the midterms — and we will be ready with community power, not panic. Join the organizing that’s happening in all 50 states to make sure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot and have it counted.

Fauci didn't close your child's school. Those decisions were made by local officials. He didn't require your employer to vaccinate you. He didn't write nursing home visitation policies. He didn't make every decision that shaped your pandemic experience.

“Trump’s war and his tariffs are allowing domestic U.S. producers to raise their prices to match the elevated prices of imports. And those who aren’t directly affected are using the higher import costs as excuses to raise their prices, too. “Presto! — corporate profits have exploded…”

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 7d ago

Corporate America is quietly encouraging both Trump’s war and Trump’s tariffs. Why?

that would be because china is a capitalist market economy with extremely terrible labour conditions and they like when capitalist market economies with extremely terrible labour conditions do well. happy to help

sometimes The Economist surprises you with the absence of its usual ideological blinders. The shock of China making high-end chips has done it... "The Chinese state’s investment in CXMT is delivering the state a vast financial windfall. But the chipmaker is only one of the govts many bets."

How has ICE ramped up arrests dramatically while keeping public awareness low? A large part of that is escalating arrests by state and local police under 287(g) agreements; arrests which often look a lot like classic racial profiling.

You cannot, and should not, count on ANY GOP defectors. They will lie to pollsters as easily as they breathe. That is in their nature. The solution is to get our side out to vote, or mail in vote, whatever works, but WE MUST show up in numbers too large to manipulate by the regime.

Medicare is about to change a drug program that held down the cost of premiums. Or as this Administration calls it WeDontCare.

A white Christian leader killed his wife & 6 kids. Why is no one asking: -Is this an honor killing? -What is it about white culture that creates this violence? -Where was he radicalized? Imagine he was Black, Muslim, or an immigrant. This is how media enables white supremacy & fascism. Reject it.

Australian here: don’t wait to be told to evacuate. Get out early if there’s the hint of a bushfire threat to your location. If you leave when an order is issued, the roads will likely be clogged with other people doing the same, even if you can see where you’re driving.

I do also think that the fact that fucking no one went to prison in the wake of 2008 was kind of low-key but persistently traumatizing for a whole generation of folks, like that was a major disillusioning event for a lot of people at a crucial point in their lives

THIS. Median voter theorists claim people are making "rational" choices arraying themselves on some clear left-right spectrum and picking the candidate(s) closest to them. In reality, we're primates seeking BELONGING - something MAGA offers (to the chosen) & left has neglected for long time.

Why has DSA grown? One argument from this research: not just ideology, but organization. Strong membership plus ongoing and continuous participation in social movements creates credibility, committed volunteers, political skills, and durable electoral capacity. www.niskanencenter.org/inside-the-d...

Reminder: Means tests are mostly designed by people who have little or no personal experience of needing the assistance these programs can provide. I would *much* rather some folks might get assistance they don't need if that means that more folks who do need it get it.

Every day that this order doesn’t come down is a day that 350,000 people aren’t suddenly subject to deportation.

Today, the D.C. Circuit said DOJ/DHS must wait. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Notably, thought Judges Pan and Garcia are Biden appointees, Judge Walker is a Trump appointee, and he did not note any dissent from the order.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption

Republicans are bringing a weak-ass bill to the floor that’s called the “Stop Insider Trading Act.” Except it does NOT actually stop insider trading. If Republicans actually wanted to stop congressional stock trading, they’d pass our bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act.

When politicians cut a program, don’t just ask how much money they saved. Ask who lost what. In the past year, over 4 million Americans have lost food assistance worth about $6 a day. Why the consequences may be broader and harsher than promised: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/one-big-be...

9/ If you’re high-risk (pregnant, over 65, or immunocompromised), I would remain careful around produce with crevices (like raspberries), since we don't know if the outbreak is cross contaminated with other produce.

Another private equity victim: FIRE TRUCKS. PE has ripped off fire departments and overcharged for trucks and engines, putting our safety at risk. Today, I introduced bipartisan legislation that'll force the FTC to investigate this. Our fire fighters deserve better.
