There are millions of people who are feeling defeated and hopeless. That nothing can be done. That we're all just alone against this evil. Well, let me tell you, nothing could be farther from the truth. We're not alone. We are one, and collectively we are an unstoppable force. Never surrender.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million β€” more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Two Native American people standing back to back. The verbiage says

TRIBAL COMMUNITIES DISENFRANCHISED

Two Native American people standing back to back. The verbiage says SAVE ACT NO. TRIBAL COMMUNITIES DISENFRANCHISED

BREAKING: Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on voting rights of Native American communities. Please pass on to your Native friends. Encourage them to call their elected officials

American trucks driving to Alaska could soon face Canada toll British Columbia's premier said the Canadian province is planning to pass legislation allowing it to levy a toll on U.S. commercial trucks heading to Alaska.

Trump may have just fucked Alaska with his tariffs.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

Stephen Harper 2.0

Trust me, Canada was a nightmare with Harper. Muzzled scientists, researchers. EVERYTHING had to be run through him. Have you heard anything from current Cons? Me neither. #PeePee ordered them to ignore us all.

Well, let's ignore them on April 28th.

U.S.D.A. Freezes Funding for Maine Amid Battle Over Transgender Athletes The administration concluded last month that Maine had violated federal law by allowing transgender athletes to play on girls’ or women’s teams.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

Angel Island Exhibit Aims to Shine Light on Border Surveillance, American Exclusion | KQED Amid Trump’s immigration crackdown, a new exhibit about the U.S.-Mexico border’s β€œvirtual wall” comes to Angel Island, where detained asylum seekers were processed in the 1900s.

EFF's exhibit on Angel Island β€œprovides a kind of border surveillance 101,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told @kqednews.kqed.org: β€œHow much surveillance infrastructure there really is on the U.S.–Mexico border, what technology there is, and how it’s being used.”
