"Farmworkers are 35 times more likely to die from heat‑related illnesses than workers in other industries ... [Farm labor contractors] such as Florida Orange Gold operate with impunity because they are allowed to—by lawmakers, landowners, state and federal agencies, and local officials."

It's because disabled people are highly represented in the federal workforce and this administration wants them gone. You don't have to print their excuse when their actual reason is so obvious.

This is part of the regime's attempt to crush organized labor and replace unionized TSA workers with contractors. They tried to eliminate workers bargaining rights last year, then forced them to work through the shutdown w/o pay for more than a month, and now this.

The Cornell story is horrific, but I’d like to shine a light on what happened at LSU with a current football player on the team:
In July, the school found Shanklin responsible for "forcible rape" and issued a one-year suspension, which is a full ban from campus and activities, according to documents reviewed by ESPN. After Shanklin appealed, an administrative law judge who handles appeals per LSU policy upheld the finding that the athlete was responsible for "forcible rape," but reduced the punishment to four semesters of probation with no restrictions, which allows Shanklin to remain enrolled and on campus and to participate in activities as long as he stays out of trouble.

Donald Trump and every one of his appointees and cabinet members and advisors must be destroyed financially, stripped of literally all their money and assets, and denied all future government employment. Let them live off of whatever UBI and public housing/health care they can scrounge up.

ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.

This is the crux of the issue. It’s not just enough to “vote harder”; the Democratic Party leadership has to fix their hearts. But they are completely beholden to the consultant class…which is mainly focused on raising money…which requires that their donors know, “nothing will fundamentally change”
