I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

Even this differs according to context, though: a meteorologist might well be referring to individual inches when describing a quantity of precipitation—precisely rather than poetically—in which case "three inches of snow have fallen as of 3:20 p.m. this afternoon" would be correct

Billions of dollars were donated to international organizations during the genocide, all based on images of Palestinian suffering, but Palestinians still have no food or shelter. Where is the international pressure to let this aid through? Otherwise everybody is complicit in fraud and genocide

I find the doomers in my replies yelling “there won’t be future elections!!” exhausting - (1) don’t give them credit for something they haven’t done & (2) there is no mechanism for cancelling elections! Our elections aren’t run by the fed govt; they’re run by states, counties & municipalities.

I've never thought of myself or most people I know as particularly "brave," but that's because I never realized how many people are such cowards.

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

Maria harvests Mandarin oranges in Parlier CA. She drives 80+ miles every day to and from work and earns $55 per 1000 lb bin. In a 7 hr day, she can only pick 2 bins. With the current rainy weather, she now works fewer hours and worries about meeting basic expenses. #WeFeedYou

I left my laptop at the office, thinking that of course I can go a whole 14 hours without it—except I've already regretted it three times tonight, when I've needed to: 1) print a shipping label, 2) create a Zoom link, 3) most importantly, photoshop my friend swimming next to the Loch Ness Monster

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

The people making me — a Black queer agender Jew — feel nuts right now aren’t the monsters who are out to destroy us. They just make me angry. The people making me nuts are the so-called allies who refuse to see all of this for what it is, who are complying because they think it will protect them.

Definitely a good idea to send Costco positive feedback for their DEI commitments, but also bear in mind that their union has voted to authorize a strike that may start as soon as 2/1. If you’re going to call, ask them to give the Teamsters everything they’re asking for, too!
