Wait until the meat supply is infested with deadly bacteria and mad cow disease is reintroduced to the food chain. Vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers are all at risk! Trump and RFK Jr. fired all the food scientists, and we’re praying for our safety from our own government.

Taylor Farms deprived workers of hygiene/rest breaks in farm 🚜 fields. It helps keep profits 📈 up though. I guess no one told the Taylor accountants that workers can't shit in their pocket and take it home. The workers had to shit in the fields and we enjoy it with our salad 💩 🥗 🤢 🤮

"The path to voting rights was paved with the blood, sweat and tears of generations of people who endured injustice from a system that did not recognize their equality or, at times, their humanity." - Rep. Jennifer McClellan www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

What we lost when the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act — and why we need a new one

We face one of the greatest challenges to Black political participation since the VRA first came into existence.

Forcing Haitian neighbors onto electronic tags in Ohio while stripping their TPS protections is pure cruelty. Watching long-term residents broken down in tears just for checking in exposes a deeply heartless system. We must demand human dignity, respect, and immediate protections! 🎥freedomnews.tv

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

Trump does nothing unless there's something in it for him. He wanted the vaccine to arrive in time for the election so people would vote for him. Later, when MAGA turned against the vaccine, he also turned against it.

The absolute worst offender of the COVID PANDEMIC was Donald Trump who didn’t have a clue about ANYTHING! He didn’t want all of us to shelter in place, didn’t support the vaccine, kept making excuses Then poetic justice when he was infected with a very strong dose of COVID and had to be hospitalized

CBS fired the team that made 60 Minutes must-watch TV. Now that team is reportedly building a $50M rival, with the same reporters, the same producers, the same rigor. You don’t get to keep the brand if you let the talent walk.

El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins
