Workers in Merced County, CA are harvesting sweet potatoes. There's so much work at this time of year that there are multiple shifts. These workers start at 4 a.m. when it's still dark. Lamps hung on the tractor give them enough light to sort the potatoes by size into boxes. #WeFeedYou

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Once upon a time, a northern nation prided itself on calm voices and common sense. But then came an echo — not our own, but drifting up from the south.

On this #IndigenousVeteransDay, I remember and am grateful for all who’ve served for this land we all call home. Some…for a country that didn’t even recognize them as citizens with the rights they fought to protect. #LestWeForget

I approve this f-ing message, eh?

They laid down their lives for Ukraine and Europe! RIP - Ivan Bazeliuk, Andrii Domanskyi, Estonian fighter Tanel Stinger Kriggul (29), Valentyn Skrypnyk (34) Rest, comrades, rest and sleep! The thoughts of men shall be As sentinels to keep Your rest from danger free. Eternal Memory!

We studied over 300 party defections in Canada since 1980 for our new book (partyloyalty.ca). I reviewed a lot of resignation letters. Between the lines, a few read a lot like this one.

I think this bag is fake. Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides. This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

Times are tight but things are going well. The pantry is getting a bit low and credits looking grim but thanks to a little luck & your continued support I'm making it through some pretty rough times. If you can manage it Please donate tonight. gofund.me/babd9034

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

This is the kind of news I like!
