Foxconn chaos. Workers in iPhone City clash with riot police over promised wages, unsanitary dormitories and food shortages. Conditions were made worse by a closed-loop system adopted under Covid Zero. The plant makes ~80% of the iPhone 14 models. 3/10

Memo to the media: Please don't say inflation is at a 40-year high without also mentioning that corporate profits are at a 70-year high. Give the people the full picture.

I’d rather hear a few slower, thoughtful words from @JohnFetterman than any of the ranting, twisted lies of Dr. Oz. Wouldn’t you?

If you're going to write a piece about Gen X voting habits, you should know that 58-64-year-olds are Boomers. And Lumping in 45-year-olds with 64-year-olds makes little sense in the actual thing we call reality. But do continue the pseudo-intellectual generational analysis.

Amended autopsy report reveals Elijah McClain, a Black man who died after a confrontation with police officers in Aurora, Colorado, in 2019, died because he was injected with ketamine after being forcibly restrained. https://t.co/CagMwVDWz6

The fentanyl that's killing record numbers of Americans comes mostly from two sources: The Sinaloa and Jalisco drug cartels https://t.co/nUu3MtONd6

Kyle Rittenhouse claims “the media” made it hard for him to live a normal life.

I think it was the fact he senselessly killed two people.

[ACLU of Pennsylvania @aclupa]

But last night, SB956 was amended into SB106. SB106 would still ask Pennsylvanians to vote on banning abortion in the commonwealth as a Constitutional amendment. But there’s more. A lot more. /3

[Swing Left @swingleft]

The PA GOP voted in the middle of the night to advance an amendment that would strip away the rights of Pennsylvanians. Protecting voting and abortion rights in PA hinges on electing @JoshShapiroPA as governor this fall: https://t.co/ueLx8TbNuf https://t.co/SJs1x7TlkU

NUMBER 1 CAUSE OF DEATH—#COVID was the leading cause of death for Americans aged 45-54, & the 2nd-leading cause of death for people aged 35-44, in 2021. Too many refused to vaccinate. Too many refused to mask. Too many refused to heed airborne precautions.

COVID was the third leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020 and 2021, accounting for 1 in 8 lives lost. https://t.co/cE4u0hpQ97
