Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

Governor Tim Walz is doing exactly what Biden and Harris should have been doing. He's speaking out. He's holding Town Hall meetings. He's doing the news shows. He's condemning Musk and Trump. He's DOING what great leaders do.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment. Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?
