Illustration from Blair Braverman's book "The Day Leap Soared". A dark grey Alaskan husky with brown ears is leaping over water with closed eyes and a serene smile. Her wavy reflection is mirrored below. Above her is a big full moon, and a sky at twilight full of colorful stars. She's framed by big trees the color of the sky. You can see where she leaped off of the bank on the left side because she's left pawprints on the snow in her wake.

A orange orchard
"Victor" is working in the oranges in Tulare County. "We're pressured to work very fast as they want as much as possible harvested before the rain. We worked more than 8 hours but did not get overtime pay. We can't speak up. We already won't be working when it rains" #WeFeedYou
Scammers are posing as health care companies now?! It's out of control.
Someone tried to scam me by calling me and posing as the place in Longmont that has done several MRIs for me over the past 6 months. I called the actual place (not the number they left) and the receptionist was like.. nope. We didn't call you. We don't have anything under that reference number.
I think Trump should go through with Elon Musk on Jeff Bezosβs yacht to show itβs safe.
What the fuck though.
This made me really happy though.
Colluding with racists because you think trans people are expendable should cost you your job
It's amazing how these people just lie about what was in the bill. It very clearly stated that providing shelter, financial support, or legal assistance to an undocumented person was a crime. No exceptions were listed. The "it doesn't apply" crap is not supported by the actual language.
there was a great quote by @garyjackson.bsky.social in an article interviewing comedy writers after the Jimmy Kimmel thing where he basically said like, Trump is obsessed with television, all he has ever wanted is to be in charge of what is on television, and he has mostly managed to achieve that
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenβand it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

people not in Texas, letβs get ready to open our wallets to whatever grassroots orgs are helping voters navigate this fucking bullshit (media campaigns, carpools and transport, door knocking, whatever is needed)
this fuckery cannot stand
wishing a very SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN to all other anti-trans Democrats nervously looking ahead to their own primaries
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
given the Texas voting location fuckery, this is a real sign of how fucking furious people are
By some miracle, the bill that sought to criminalize providing any assistance, including legal assistance, to undocumented persons in the state did not pass out of committee. I have no doubt another version will be back, but for now it's a win - and a big one.
There are also the lives of a couple of hundred million people in the Middle East, senator.

Worker standing in a strawberry field
"Soledad" harvests strawberries in Oxnard. "December, January, and February are the worst months for strawberry workers. We don't earn enough to cover expenses. I have children & things are very difficult. I'm only working 4-5 hours/day. I barely earn enough for rent." #WeFeedYou
I was trying not to say some of the numbers Iβve seen. People often accuse of being, well, you know.

A pistachio orchard on a very foggy day
"Mario" is working 8 hours a day pruning pistachios trees for minimum wage. "The harsh weather makes our job extremely difficult. Last week we worked several days in a wet fog. It was 38Β° when we started at 6:30 am. We finished at 3pm. It was so cold my body ached." #WeFeedYou
If anything I have done to help you get informed the past few days on the war in #Iran, please help Juniper and her kids stay housed. Their rent is overdue and they will become unhoused.
Think of it as a tip to me.
