"Adan" works in Gilroy CA harvesting poblano peppers that are used for chiles rellenos. "I'm paid by the hour, but if I don't fill at least 7 buckets an hour I can lose my job. It's wrong that our pay goes down, but the expected productivity goes up." #WeFeedYou

It’s extremely down to the wire here. If you know of a FOIA attorney in Idaho, please connect us. The Boise airport has told me they do not have any video of an ICE detainment that I know for a fact happened.

"The vice president asks that the letter’s recipients donate their “most generous contributions of $3,500, $2,000, $1,000, $500, $250, or even $100,” while pointing to high-profile efforts to elect independent candidates in Montana and Nebraska as a warning." Huh.

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.

given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
Marxist-communists
from govern-
ment.

Three years ago today. Let’s get out there and make fun of the fear mongering bullies. (And bring a jacket. It might rain).

A screenshot of a twitter post from Kat Abu: “Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn’t go well.“ It includes a picture of a white woman in a green jacket with a microphone in front of her. She is outside in Seattle, getting increasingly annoyed with the reporter trying to paint Seattle as a hellhole. She will soon turn to straight up mocking him.

Whether or not you agree w/Obama here (and there’s a lot to debate about his point), this isn’t unclear at all. As a religion and politics reporter, I can assure you: Obama is talking about a real thing, that candidates in *both parties* are playing with right now, with real political impact.

A thing about "theobros" is they're "Reformed," i.e., Calvinist. But the largest Reformed denomination in the U.S. isn't any of the ones they belong to. It's the PC(USA) — a liberal mainline whose members include Rep. Sarah McBride and James Talarico, and which ordains women and LGBTQ+ folks, etc.
