At least 80% of Americans live in a vibe desert. They have to drive upwards of 20 minutes to catch a vibe, and many have no idea where their next vibe will come from

A plume of forever chemicals lingers under the east metro in MN, tainting groundwater for decades — a result of 3M’s dumping practices in the 1950s.

State lawmakers passed the nation’s toughest ban on #PFAS. They couldn't have done it without Amara Strande. @washingtonpost

Somebody simply has to write the ultimate catch-all essay on disruptive, libertarian, private-sector-touting entrepreneurs simply begging and demanding for state intervention at the end of their journeys. (This is the Titan sub company's adviser.)

David Brandt, known to some as the internet's favorite farmer, was more than just a farmer from a meme. His work around regenerative agriculture and education have helped countless farms become more sustainable. Rest in peace to a man whose honest work changed agriculture.

This story is heartbreaking. The family is having the book thrown at them while the employer faces no criminal charges. There's no justice in this uneven enforcement of child labor laws.

[Migrant Clinicians Network @MCN_Health]

A 14-year-old girl was injured working illegally, but the employer is not being held accountable. Companies that hire children must be held responsible for child labor violations.

@BrianMa29812303 @Batty36301 @ninaturner Not to say it wouldn't be incredibly tough to make it happen, but it's possible to work towards a better future for workers

[Robert Kinnaird @bonus_bones]

@BrianMa29812303 @Batty36301 @ninaturner More of those jobs could switch to 32 hour work weeks with larger teams of staff - it's a staffing issue not an impossibility

Nationwide regulations are needed to ensure consistent and high-quality housing for migrant workers that are guaranteed a roof over their head by the H2A program.

[Migrant Clinicians Network @MCN_Health]

Local regulations remain spotty for migrant worker housing. "There are some good reasons to have some sort of local oversight, but, by and large, I think that leads to discrepancies and differences," said our own @liebman_amy.

After consulting with our chief medical officer, we have reached the conclusion that 'the woke mind virus' is not a real condition.

Silicosis is preventable, yet stonecutters, largely young Latinos, are dying as a result of workplace safety decisions made by their employers.

Every World Series commercial break is just an endless stream of Oz and Fetterman commercials, which creates unintentionally funny moments like this.

[Robert Kinnaird @bonus_bones]

@GastonOlvera @nytimes its almost like newspapers have separate sections for news and culture

Our new white paper is out now! This nine-page report explores the extreme obstacles pregnant asylum seekers face in securing prenatal care, despite their legal presence within the country. https://t.co/F3gK1UV8d8

Cope.

[Jeremy B. White @JeremyBWhite]

California Farm Bureau "deeply disappointed" @GavinNewsom signed #AB2183, says it "threatens the integrity of secret ballot elections and leaves farm employees vulnerable to intimidation by union organizers"

[Robert Kinnaird @bonus_bones]

Who would have thought that the most heated part of the Oz Fetterman race would be vegetables

Nominations for the 2022 Kugel-Zuroweste Health Justice Award are open! We are looking to honor a young clinician who is actively making a difference in the lives of migrants and other communities experiencing heightened vulnerability. https://t.co/X3bOGqZzhq

[Robert Kinnaird @bonus_bones]

The overturning of Roe V Wade will disproportionately harm the most vulnerable people among us. Migrant farmworkers need access to abortions and other forms of reproductive health care https://t.co/elY9BpiIo5
