I have 200 employees, now 60%+ migrants, 1st or 2nd generation.

I’m in Missouri (Hawley country).

Let me tell you about the migrant workforce.

War correspondent Robert Fisk on how journalists sanitize war by keeping the most disturbing sights from public view, thereby making it easier for political leaders to convince the public to support the next war.

In 1963, the famous photographer Richard Avedon took a picture of a man named William Casby.

William Casby, born in 1857, was 106 years old at the time. In his hands, he was holding his great-great-granddaughter, Cherri Stamps-McCray.

The image amazes me because the elderly gentleman holding his descendant so tenderly, was born into slavery more than a century prior. Casby would eventually live until 1970, dying at the age of 113.

His great- and great-grandchildren are alive today, and many of them remember him.

It puts into perspective just how relatively recent slavery existed. Because as faraway and distant as it may feel now. Even in modern-day America, there are people who have active memories of talking to former slaves.

INDEPENDENCE DAY was released 28 years ago this week. An enormous box office hit and one of Hollywood’s biggest productions, the behind the scenes story is as spectacular as a spaceship blowing up the White House…

Earlier this year CR released a report on phthalate contents in common food items.

While most of these foods are garbage even without the forever chemicals in them, the findings are nonetheless extremely eye-opening and concerning 👇

Does inflation lead to civilizational collapse?

Well, in the 3rd century, the Roman Empire began to buckle under the weight of state spending.

It frantically "printed" money until things went horribly wrong... (thread) 🧵

This is Sylvia Gonzalez. At age 72, she won an upset victory for city council after campaigning to oust the city manager. The mayor didn't like that.

So he had her arrested & jailed.

The Supreme Court is about to hear her case, which has largely gone unnoticed. A thread.

I suspect if one analyzed the entirety of American politics, from the beginning, they would find nothing but performance politics
