don't know why it's surprising to hear that a massive amount of paperwork will ensue if you get rid of the de minimis exemption, resulting in chaos, confusion, and some packages being destroyed

It’s a bad pain day, but I got the sourdough starter fed, started a loaf of bread, and have stuff ready for sourdough pancakes, if my husband wants to try doing those. Otherwise, the pain is rather overwhelming today. Going to keep crashing for a bit.

"Rafa" is a Merced county farm worker. He does 2 shifts in 2 different jobs as rent is so expensive. He harvests tomatoes in the am. Then he sorts sweet potatoes under a hot sun - working 13 hours total. He worries about driving home because of lack of sleep. #WeFeedYou

Chicago: Ice harassing 2 15 year olds without a parent. At this point with the masks and the vast differences in uniforms….. can we even be sure they are ICE agents and not random kidnappers? Serious question...

ICE is attempting to take children out of schools and daycares, knowing full well that even American kids won't have identification. On Facebook, a mother in Chicago shared her own experience today and asked others to share, too. Pasted below, link at the end: Yesterday started

One of JD Vance’s admitted gurus, Curtis Yarvin, says he’s thinking about fleeing the country because Trump hasn’t dismantled enough of America’s democratic institutions and he fears “vengeance.” Let that sink in when you think about who’s running the country.

Tractors like this are used to spray pesticides in Apple orchards in upstate NY. "John" shares that having to pick in just-sprayed fields — or even near current spraying— is one of the issues that have caused workers to unionize. #WeFeedYou

Y’all I’ve got to be honest. What does “conservative” mean? Is it conserving “traditional” family values? Because the dude posting this used to make his money selling porn websites, AND, he’s shilling for a man that robbed Texas taxpayers and cheated on his wife not ONCE, but

Special ed office wiped out at Education Department, union says The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. @USATODAY @ZachSchermele https://t.co/TJyvDGiDMY

That's a win for USC!! #FightOn Trojans!! ✌🏻

OOPS! UPDATE: Two HHS officials tell me that disease detectives, measles response officers, Ebola response officers, global health officials and MMWR staff were laid off by mistake and will be reinstated. But Washington staff is still RIFed.

Florida’s CFO won’t investigate this.

Remember Covenant Eyes, the porn tracking app Mike Johnson uses with his son as his accountability buddy, and promoted with an affiliate link? The guy who founded it did so to help his stepsons, he has said. One of those stepsons was charged in a minor sex sting in August, after

I broke down and ordered a sourdough starter since I had 2 go bad, no idea why (did what worked great before only to have an awful mess). My daughter recommended the King Arthur one, so I got that one and started it up tonight. Sourdough discard pancakes in the morning! 😁
