My quote of the day In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia. George Orwell

Proud to add my name to this open letter to the American Diabetes Association, decrying their treatment of members who shared a published manuscript with their colleagues. This was a violation of free speech and sycophancy to the administration: c.org/N7MGzKhWzH

"Mario" sent this video showing his work during the cherry harvest. "Going up and down the 12 ft ladder is difficult especially when you have a full bucket. I earn $6/30 lb bucket. On a good day, I fill 21 buckets in 7 hours. Then I need to drive almost 2 hours home." #WeFeedYou

People love historical what if scenarios. What if JFK was never assassinated? What if the Nazis won in WW2? A scenario I never see discussed is what if the aids crisis didnt decimate the gay men of America in the 80s-90s? Its easy to forget 1 in 15 gay boomer men died. An estimated 300,000 deaths-

The Moby Dick bot hit the mark this morning:

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Trump raped children. The proof is in the unreleased Epstein files. Release the files. Impeach the pedophile.

Farm workers in Bakersfield CA are ‘tipping’ the grapes so that they are ready for harvest. They cut the tips to redirect the sugar and nutrients to the blossoms allowing for bigger and sweeter fruit clusters. #WeFeedYou

The flaws in the American presidency that led to the Trump regime on display: cult of personality, amassing power, disconnect from what's happening on the ground, & the final insult: a library with no books, our heritage privatized & digitized into the ether. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

On the 1st day of Pride, here's a reminder that the Seattle police were never held accountable for their violence in the gayborhood last May. A sergeant viciously beat a protest medic. After initially finding this excessive, the OPA walked it back. open.substack.com/pub/divestsp...

Salinas CA farm workers are harvesting strawberries in the rain. "We must keep working in this weather, otherwise we'll lose our jobs. It's difficult because our clothing gets wet. The cold makes it worse as we get the shivers. But we can't afford to lose our jobs." #WeFeedYou

Consistent humanism means opposing the genocide in Gaza, AND antisemitism. It means opposing the US/Israeli invasion of Iran AND the Iranian regime's murder of its own people. It means opposing the US/UK invasion of Iraq AND the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It means confronting violence everywhere.
