The price of vegetables rose 38.9% in July.

Will be hard to explain in the future that the US government went antivax, causing a lot of avoidable suffering and death, not in response to any negative incident with vaccines, but to the biggest, fastest, most successful, most impressive vaccine rollout in history.

There were 34 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of July.

The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

Samaa is getting very close to her due date

Yeah fuck that. Fuck all of that.

I’m sorry — *Cracker Barrel* is too woke for the Trump administration?

Cracker Barrel?!?

People think they have amazing stories about ChatGPT. And they tell them all the time. You just don’t register them as amazing if you are a normal ish adult human being because it’s mid shit like, “it told me to eat brisket!” or “it wrote twenty emails no one wants!”

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

one of the ways you know this is a genocide is that the news is never "IDF wins a battle" or "IDF secures new territory"

it's just about dead Palestinians, all the time, every day

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hayat. Hayat is 54 and the mother of nine children (many of whom I know) including 10 year old Tala, the baby of the family. Tala is struggling with malnutrition as food has become so difficult to access in Gaza. Hayat needs help ❤️

I recognize this is an exceedingly difficult time and for many of you this is a crisis on several levels. I respect those challenges and I don't consider press rights superior to the rights of others. However, all other rights depend on press rights. We cannot allow them to be chilled. This was explained by civil rights icon and longtime congressmember John Lewis: "If it hadn't been for the media, for brave, courageous journalists, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings." Democracy cannot function without an informed public. The public cannot be informed without a free press. It is your shared responsibility to ensure press are able to do their job. Several of you have been supportive over the years and I thank you for that. But your support is now needed more than ever. Please ensure your teams are aware of these egregious violations and ensure you take all possible steps to protect the press, and thereby the public and our country itself. Sincerely, Adam Rose Press Rights Chair Los Angeles Press Club

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend.

The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law.

Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow.

Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Update, it's really bad. Vets sneaking on base to steal gear for years, and then they beat a soldier trying to stop them with a hammer.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmad. Ahmad worked for a small telephone company run by his friend before the war and helped support his family. He lost his friend, job and home. He’s still trying to support his extended family including his dad and several small children.

Hamza needs help ❤️

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab
