Odeh shared a pic of her injured hand as she worked pruning grapes at a non union company in Merced CA. She works through the pain as she is the sole provider in her family and can’t afford a visit to the doctor. #WeFeedYou

My prediction is that this will do nothing to stop the endless “why is the far right winning TikTok/Gen Z” stories.the fact the Greens crush Reform among under 25s in every poll here doesn’t stop the endless “why is Farage winning young people?” stories

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

The government has made millions of people less secure by ordering Apple to carve a backdoor into encrypted services. With the cost of cybercrime to UK economy estimated to be £22Bn a year, the war on encryption is a reckless and foolish obsession. #e2ee www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
