In the hours before IRS leadership fired some 7,000 employees for allegedly poor performance, a top IRS lawyer flagged officials that “no one” at the agency had done such an assessment. The termination notice went out unchanged anyway. By @andykroll.bsky.social

It was a cold rainy day when guadalupe shared this photo from where she is pruning and tying the grape vines on California's central coast. She says that's how winter work is, but it pays her bills and feeds her family. #WeFeeYou

Guadalupe is a mother to 4 and works in the grape vineyards of Fresno CA. She earns 14 cents for each vine she ties. In her 7 hours she usually works on 800 vines to earn just above $110. #WeFeedYou
