Farm workers planting strawberries

"Iliana" has been working in the strawberry fields in Watsonville, CA for the last 16 years. "She and her coworkers are currently planting strawberries. "I get very tired because I have to bend over all day long to do this type of work. But it feeds my family." #WeFeedYou

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Definitely should be a key plank in the platform. Just don't want them to ignore so many other important issues that would uplift the working and middle classes. Like anti-corruption, raising minimum wage, taxing the rich, rent stabilization, universal pre-k, free community college, clean energy....

The Chinese aren't stupid enough to die in an inferno just because hidden car handles look "cool".

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

That is one thing, but not the only thing.

You don't get to be a billionaire by being nice. And if you're born one, you aren't raised to be nice, either.

Fulton County officials asked a federal court to return 2020 election ballots that the FBI seized last week. The county is also requesting that the court unseal the affidavit the administration used to obtain approval for the search.

For those keeping score at home:

Only registered Rapepublicans will be able to vote, no POC, nor poor white folks nor women

Portland detention facility impact fee faces hurdles from mayor's office Although the ordinance was passed in December, it's still not imposed due to the executive branch failing to complete the rulemaking process within 30 days.

Portland City Council passed an ordinance that would fine landlords if their tenants used chemical munitions, and the mayor's office failed to implement it.

Donated. Thank you for your generosity.

Minnesota is still under seige at the moment and various orgs could use some support. Anne’s matching donations, and any little bit helps.

4 European Countries Issue Travel Advisories for Minneapolis Four European nations have issued travel advisories for Minneapolis, which has seen large-scale protests recently.

Germany, France, Finland and Ireland are telling their residents not to travel to Minnesota (or to be very cautious) because it's not safe.

This is the pattern. Purchase/Take Over a media source that has informed the public. Then dismantle them to the lowest form:
1. Twitter
2. Meta
3. Washington Post
4. CBS-60 Minutes/News
5. Public Broadcasting
6. Tik Tok

We are up to our necks in state run media.

Seems like it's time for Sweden to join, too.

lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 49m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

Rubio indirectly concedes that the negotiation process between Ukraine and russia looks “hopeless.”

I hope it’s clear to everyone why it isn’t working, and why Ukrainians remain skeptical. The sides are divided by fundamental differences that Washington simply chooses to ignore.

North Korean troops in Russia attack Ukrainian border communities, HUR says Ukraine’s military intelligence says North Korean troops fighting under Russian command are attacking Ukrainian border communities from Russia’s Kursk Oblast.

North Korean troops fighting under Russian command are carrying out attacks in Ukraine’s border areas, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) said on Feb. 4.

"Trump border czar Tom Homan announced a significant drawdown of federal agents in Minneapolis." So Trump's troops terrorized and even murdered US citizens yet they just walk away with no prosecutions! Plus ICE now heads to another city to terrorize Brown and Black people!

#Minneapolis Personal Me: This is so much b.s. This AM, neighbors on my friend’s block foiled a kidnapping despite being assaulted and gassed. A school bus driver had to block the door to keep them from entering the bus while they were at it. 4 legal observers were kidnapped near us yesterday. 😡

How has Minneapolis remained so non-violent in the face of Trump's horrific provocations?

JaNaé Bates Imari explained to @thedigradio.bsky.social how MN's deep progressive orgs set a tone of non-violent discipline for the movement as a whole

Then lie on the tracks to make it happen. Signed, a lawyer in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.

Agree. Is that one of your demands for funding DHS, and will you refuse to give it up?

I'm surprised their names haven't been all over. BTW, they deserve to be under the bus of justice. So do the people in command.

She's disabled from a brain injury. What they did to her was a violation of her rights on so many levels.
