ICE hasn’t paid for detainee medical care since October. Advocates call it the ‘death policy’ — my latest, w/ @kolyncheang.bsky.social. Spend some time with it www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

ICE hasn’t paid for detainee medical care since October. Advocates call it the ‘death policy’
ICE owes millions in unpaid bills to hospitals and, in some cases, detainees themselves have been directly billed for care, records show.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

I subscribe to The Atlantic podcast. In the latest episode, your esteemed panelists puzzled over DJT’s success in stoking “grievance” without once mentioning the powerful accelerant of racism @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. Omitting Black voices makes your panel less credible. I’m white and I see it.

Something cool I just realized: before they moved to San Antonio and changed their name, the Spurs were initially known as the "Dallas Chaparrals", which means that this franchise has been represented by both a roadrunner 𝘢𝘯𝘥 a coyote in their history.

I was telling a young co-worker how I survived college by using the cafeteria dessert bar to put a scoop of ice cream into my go-cup and then fill it up with coffee before heading to class. Mint chocolate chip, butter pecan, it was all good. And she said that’s an affogato. Who knew?!?

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

He was elected by promising cheaper eggs. He’s giving military $1,776 to stay loyal. His insurance plan is cash for a “health savings account.” He hopes to take Greenland by offering its citizens a buyout. He believes he can buy anything. So what is the value of your soul? Mine is not for sale.

So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this
Cybertruck Owners Only
Joe Sawyer • 19h • O
...

Had an issue stopping my Cybertruck from a low speed the other day and had to make a choice to crash it or risk going tumbling down a mountain to probable death. Sucks to see, but it held up well and only a few minor scrapes and bruises.
Still going over every choice made and trying to understand why it would not stop and was gaining speed from 5 mph to 12+ while on the brakes. ABS was probably hurting more than helping on this 26° downhill angle. Hoping to be able to talk to someone at Tesla as I have the crash recorder data already.

[cybertruck upside down like the shitty little brick it is
