“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”

The Democrats plan is to force Reaganomics down our throats and tell us we elected JD Vance if we reject it. That’s it.

Friendly reminder.

Road safety campaigns must speak directly to and target those that perpetrate the greatest harm.

@22_over7 @coffeespoonie I'm not sure, I may be misremembering. I did find a few recent articles where the residents are complaining about the quality of the work, but not much else.

@22_over7 @coffeespoonie I believe the ongoing issues are in individual people's homes. The original problem was that the water additives were breaking down the lead pipes-- most of the city owned pipes have been replaced but individual home's pipes have not been.

Texas is banning Kate Cox from getting an abortion—claiming her fetus has rights.

Simultaneously Texas is fighting a lawsuit by a prison guard who was 7 mo pregnant, had pains, was denied a break, & the fetus was still born—arguing a fetus has no rights.

It was Never about life

She released this statement just as we started seeing these photos come out. Sexual assault is never okay. This is assault on so many levels. We have confirmed photos of the way Palestinians are being treated and not one word.
