"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

Up to 2500 women may have been abused and sexually assaulted by an Army doctor in Hawaii and Texas.

He’s accused of touching them inappropriately, filming them without consent and even inducing labour without their knowledge.

Many lodged complaints, the Army did nothing.

Russia is shifting toward reusable drones as supply issues and battlefield demands mount. Platforms like the Night Witch and Bulldog-13 now carry multiple munitions, resist jamming, and return for reuse, saving costly tech. Interceptor drones are also evolving, using electric rods or even cans.

Honestly, I can't complain about my healthcare going up by $17.90 per month. Not when so many millions are facing catastrophic increases!

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.

Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

Putin admits that he wants to turn Ukrainians in occupied territories into Russians, and that he is thus committing genocide in Ukraine.

Too many genocide scholars fail to recognize the ongoing genocide in Ukraine. Shame on them!

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.

A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

Ex-National Guard Major General William Enyart: “This deployment of the National Guard into the cities of America is a misuse of a vital national resource. We are not trained to be law enforcement agencies.”

I'm thinking of the National Guard shooting victims today, and hoping for the best for them. And I am also thinking about the craven politicians who decided to put them in harm's way because they choose to govern by menacing and by staging stunts. May the fates they deserve befall every one of them.

I struggle with all of the “Happy Thanksgiving” posts. I was taught lies in school. I grew up to learn the barbarism of the truth. That we continue to celebrate it as such feels like a betrayal - bc it is. We spend the day together making no mention of the lie.

Most folks don't know this, but many Native Americans don't "celebrate" Thanksgiving the way the rest of the country does.

For us, it's a National Day of Mourning. It's a time to honor our ancestors, remember the truth of what happened on this land, and hold space for all the lives, cultures ...
