"Kid Rock makes music for people who know exactly how much Sudafed they can get for a catalytic converter." The Better Half read it, sotto voce. I spat tea all the way across the table + onto the floor.

"Mario" is carrying the stakes used for planting blackberries. At times he needs to walk for 10-15 minutes while carrying a bunch of stakes over his shoulder to the location where they will be installed. This is difficult as the multiple stakes weigh around 40 pounds. #WeFeedYou

"Raul" shared, "Pruning apple trees in the winter cold here in WA state is very hard. We spend our days going up and down ladders - that gets slippery - to cut the branches. Frozen branches are brittle. Sometimes they break unexpectedly. We need to be very careful." #WeFeedYou

As an HIV journalist, I don’t like seeing lenacapavir PrEP referred to as a “vaccine” because it’s an antiretroviral drug — it doesn’t train the immune system to fight HIV. But if thinking of it as “essentially a vaccine” increases uptake & funding, I guess I can live with it.

Pass it on.

Here's your second opinion.

"Kari" is pruning grape vines in the Kerman CA area. "You feel temps down to the bone-especially when it's this damp. The vines are brittle so it's hard to make clean cuts. I earn min. wage and work 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week. This hard work feeds my family." #WeFeedYou

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

coming soon: Trump issues executive order changing nation’s name to ‘The United State of Trump’ the new flag will be a field of gold, with a monogram ‘T’ the NY Times will write that this is unusual, coming from the White House, and that some people are not in favor of the changes

If you look at what the Democrats are actually doing rather than what they are saying, this is the obvious conclusion. @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov

Good. Should happen everywhere. “Upon becoming aware of the individual’s presence, the patron was asked to leave the premises and was escorted out by staff in accordance with venue policy to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all patrons.” www.mercurynews.com/2026/02/06/g...

"Fernando" is hard at work tying the stakes in place used for harvesting blackberries. This process helps keep the plants at a reasonable distance from each other vand provides enough space for the plants to produce as much fruit as possible. #WeFeedYou

Seattle City Hall right now, where students from around the city have gathered after a mass walk-out to protest ICE:

Perhaps it was coincidental timing, but nothing underscores the collapse of the Washington Post like firing most of the Pulitzer prize winning #climate reporters the very same day as their opinion pages publishes a BS screed by climate misinformer Bjorn Lomborg.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.

"Adan" is cleaning blackberry plants. He's cleaned one side and is now cleaning the other. This helps ensure that only healthy plants grow -with sufficient water and good oxygen quality . This way future harvests will produce as much fruit as possible. #WeFeedYou

Mackenzie Scott should establish a nonprofit version of Washington Post and hire up all that recently laid off talent.

"Susana" is hard at work pruning grapevines. She says that because she is a woman, she was underestimated, but she is proud that she has become one of the top workers on her pruning crew. #WeFeedYou
