Trump and Dems are officially meeting Monday. This is after Trump cancelled his last meeting with Democrats because they were holding firm on immigrant and transgender protections. The Republican budget has dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ riders. Call your Dem senators, people, don't let them capitulate.

If there is something called allspice, is there also a nonespice and maybe a somespice? #PiePonderings

Super interesting results here! Another chart from the same study shows that of the 17 advanced economies studied, the US is the only country to put faith in the top five sources of meaning in life and the only country *not* to put health and/or society in the top five.

A more accurate headline would say “immigrant shooter” not “ICE shooter.” He killed detainees, not ICE employees. Still, this is worth the read 👇🏾

A white man killed another white man, but Black people are catching death threats. So, instead of talking about white feelings again, I explored my own death threats, and tips for others who are unused to white America. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is a grim, horrific, and important read. CW: murder, ableism, anti-Semitism

Wait, it gets worse. The team of economists and researchers responsible for the USDA survey that measures food insecurity and hunger were put on indefinite paid leave today. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Shanah Tovah to all who celebrate!

Trans rights are human rights! Autistic people's rights are human rights! Immigrants' rights are human rights! Human rights are not finite or scarce! Me having human rights does not preclude you from having human rights! There are enough human rights for all of us!!

This is a must read

A short 🧵 so everyone can learn that political violence is nothing new in America. Of the 1,331 Black officials who served during Reconstruction, 158 (10.4%) were subjected to political violence. 1/7

The federal government is canceling the leading national survey of household food insecurity and hunger in the United States, @wsj.com reported today. The Dec 2025 survey will be canceled, while the Oct 2025 report based on Dec 2024 data will be released as usual. (1/4)

Occurred to me that "One Size Fits All" is a lot like "I Don't See Color" Brands: Your clothing will not fit everybody. Stop pretending and acknowledge folks' different bodies.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

I was at this... No direct mention of fascism/authoritarianism or of generative AI, the two things that have me the most concerned. Also, we had several rounds of layoffs in the last year due to state budget cuts, but we need to grow revenue... So, we get to do more with less! Sound familiar?

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

You know things are rough when the AAUP's advice on how to use social media is just "set all your accounts to private."

Farmworkers keep America’s food system alive, but immigration raids & stalled reforms are reshaping their lives and our supply chains. Join Investigate Midwest tomorrow, Sept. 18 at noon CST for a free virtual panel on the future of farm labor. RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/immigratio...

Lots of interesting stuff in this report (on data collected in 2023, prior to Trump 2). One thing that stands out to me is some notable pushback against DEI initiatives. 17.9% of the 665 open-ended comments submitted were negative views of DEI. Disappointed, and I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

"The U.S. agricultural workforce fell by 155,000 — about 7 percent — between March and July, according to an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data... The labor shortage piles onto an ongoing economic crisis for farmers exacerbated by dwindling export markets..."

Happening now. Andrew is live-skeeting 👇

If the Trump administration continues to imprison, deport, and terrorize undocumented people in the US (who make up a not insignificant share of our farm worker population), then someone else will have to do this farm work. The H-2A visa program is a temporary visa for seasonal farm labor. 1/4
