Last year, I went to Cambodia to explore Nike's claim that it pays factory workers 1.9X the minimum wage on average. It wasn't true there.

My reporting partner, @matthewkish.bsky.social, went to Indonesia and asked ~100 workers whether they earn 1.9X. None did. Said one union official: "Bullshit."

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and there will be no longer be free elections in the United States. But at least now I can drink raw milk.

"don't start with a compromise" is the very first thing you learn about negotiation. the fact that Democrats always do exactly this is how you know they are a controlled opposition and not a serious party with beliefs or goals

ProPublica Publishes Unreleased Data on the Origins of Generic Prescription Drugs The dataset powers our Rx Inspector tool, which lets you find the factories that made your generic drugs and their FDA inspection track records.

We spent months and months figuring out how to connect generic drugs to the factories they were made in. A bunch of researchers asked us for our data, so we’re giving it away to everyone: www.propublica.org/article/rx-i...

I know resignation is a sign of protest, but it really just moves them closer to their goal of filling all these positions with MAGA lunatics.

The American Oil Industry’s Playbook, Illustrated: How Drillers Offload Costly Cleanup Onto the Public Oil executive Tom Ragsdale walked away from his old wells, making the pollution left behind the state of New Mexico’s problem. His tactics, however, are ubiquitous in the industry.

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods.

A judge rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to arrest Don Lemon for coverage of a protest in a Minnesota church where the pastor is an ICE official.

We spoke with protest organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, who was arrested Thursday by FBI agents for organizing the protest.

It has not been lost on me that the two preeminent contemporary uses of LLMs is the infinite generation of 1) CSAM and 2) media that serves no purpose other to publicly denigrate, humiliate, and dominate women and minorities.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Yo they still in business or nah? Don't even wanna Google it 🤣

The ones they didn't hang moved here and to Argentina wym?

So a good time

It was never the slogan that was the problem. It was the ask. Most people can't imagine a non-police state. That's why they don't recognize that we have been in one their whole lives.
