Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal.

Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets.

Other types of gig workers "do need to be organized and pursue protections, just like the Deliveristas did," said #CornellILR's @drcamposmedina.bsky.social, who named home care aides and house cleaners as workers in need of added protections. "Now we have a precedent."
