Great story about the new meatpacking plant in North Platte, Nebraska. Trey and so many others worked for years to make this happen. They are trying to compete with the big 4 packers that never give a fair price to family ranchers. Diverse staff. Good paying jobs. Let's go!

Way to go JB💥💙🫂

Workers are "terrified" as immigration agents sweep farms, the president of United Farm Workers says, adding that Americans should think about the "human loss" as well as "crops rotting" in the fields.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

The widespread movement will run counter to Trump's multimillion dollar military parade in D.C. "No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," organizers wrote. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism."

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The Christians in Congress should be feeding the hungry, but they're cutting food stamps. They should be healing the sick, but they are cutting Medicaid. They should be standing up to the billionaire class, but instead they're cutting their taxes."

How many in the House didn’t even read the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ before voting in favor of it? All of them need to be fired in 2026! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“Target Corp., facing financial headwinds and pushback over its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, has dismissed two executives who have backed DEI efforts, including a chief legal and compliance officer it hired nine months ago.”

Yikes! Mike Flood’s town hall tonight in Seward, NE. Audience made up of mostly white 50+ voters.

They will NEVER silence us on the House Floor. Or anyplace else.

BREAKING: Dems have FLIPPED the Omaha mayoral race. John Ewing Jr has beaten the GOP incumbent!!

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Writer tip: Maybe don’t go for a secluded walk early in the morning through the woods and thought-outline a story about a Mother’s Day serial killer. What is wrong with me. 😅

Keep your hands off the American people.

“Do not mock us.”

Congress created the grants in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The goal was to help schools hire mental health professionals, including counselors and social workers.

Don’t let the bad news overshadow #Earthday (and these are my tulips.)

Judge Wilkinson's opinion for a 3-0 panel in the Abrego Garcia case is written for the parties, but also for the public & perhaps a nod at SCOTUS. I go through it in this piece, which I think provides a much-needed boost for all of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-fourth-c...

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
