When the salmon farming industry says it’s only “one or two fish” that are struggling a bit.
Here we see every single cage in the entire @LochDuartSalmon feedlot, ravaged by live and disease.
It is literally state-sponsored animal cruelty and ecocide.

The McClatchy workers in the Pacific Northwest (Tacoma News Tribune, Idaho Statesman, Tri-City Herald, Bellingham Herald, and the Olympian) won an incredible contract after over a year of bargaining including some of the best language on Artificial Intelligence in a NewsGuild contract.
AI Protections won include:
- Workers cannot be laid off or have their hours reduced due to AI
- Bargaining unit work cannot be done by AI unless at the direct control of a bargaining unit member
- 30 days notice of new technology
- The employer must give credit / metrics to anyone who’s work the AI relies on
- And more…
Many have asked us how we did it so we are hosting a virtual town hall on August 5th at 4pm alaska / 5p west / 6p mountain / 7p central / 8p east to share lessons and answer your questions.

Rotten food. Feces in the hallways. Unlawful practices. That's what's happening inside ICE detention centers across this country right now.
I introduced the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to change that. Real standards for these facilities. Real oversight from Congress. Real investigations when they break the law.
Nobody in this country should be treated this way. Not on my watch.

The Trump admin WITHHELD that nearly 100 U.S. troops were injured by Iran in the past 2 weeks.
400+ Americans have been injured. 18 service members have been killed.
It's a tremendous sacrifice. But Trump can't even explain how America is better off or how his war will end.

This is their life in jail. He’s not making “life choices”.
In Japan, a gorilla named Kiyomasa got into a fight with his mate. She kicked him out of their enclosure at the zoo, and he was later spotted sitting alone, seemingly rethinking his life choices
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The second part of the video with the "thinking" gorilla is Shabani, the most handsome gorilla in the world

Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on.
This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.
House Speaker Cameron Sexton has removed Democratic Caucus members from standing committees until next session due to "disrupting processes" and "creating disorder" during the special session.

And next year, it will be 10 years! I’m really looking forward to 2027.

MAGA just can’t resist kidnapping when they get the chance. Abduction. Banishment. Baby jails. Prisons not playgrounds. Measles. Matricide. They think Making terrorism in America is Great, all over Again.
ICE is robbing kids of their childhoods.
Liam should be playing with his friends, doing crafts with his classmates, learning to read, and getting to live with his family in peace.
I refuse to authorize another dime for ICE and CBP until we reckon with the damage they’ve done to our kids, our neighbors, and our communities. We must ensure this can never happen again.

Trump called American Olympian Hunter Hess a “real loser” for criticizing what’s happening in our country under Trump.
Mr. President, this is not a monarchy. This is the United States and no one is required to bow down to you.
Hess is not a "loser." He's a proud American.

This you, gloating about the bill that will strip access to healthcare and food stamps for the most vulnerable Americans?

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go.
It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day.
We remember those who fought to get us here, and we stay in the fight to make sure nobody’s left behind.
Happy Juneteenth, y’all.
Paige retweeted
Join us today in commemorating #Juneteenth as we honor our past, reflect on what it means to have freedom, and celebrate our strength, joy, and unity.
