Thinking about this. I refused to to go Target post pandemic/pre-boycott for health and beauty items because I had the same experiences detailed in the thread. And at least 80% of the customer base of the store nearest me are Black.

Darity: I think so. Because in economics, labor market discrimination is anchored on two kinds of arguments. One is the Becker taste for discrimination framework. The other is the statistical theory of discrimination.
Neither one of them really provides a story that suggests that discrimination is sustainable in the presence of employers who prefer profits to prejudice.

When families can’t eat, on top of everything else, the risk increases of the state stepping in to remove their children because of “neglect”

The dismantling of our public health infrastructure made this outbreak the worst of this century. But worker exploitation is at the root of the problem and not enough people are talking about that

In an American context, cyclosporiasis outbreaks are almost always caused by improper sanitation at farms or food processing facilities. Farmers around the world routinely refuse to provide adequate toilet or handwashing facilities for their workers if they think they can get away with it, to save money. When exploited raspberry or spinach pickers have no choice but to relieve themselves in a hole next to the field of crops, the potential consequences are obvious. A 2013 outbreak in Texas, for instance, was tied to contaminated cilantro.
Contaminated irrigation water is another potential culprit.

They’ll kill all of us and the planet before raising taxes

A spokesperson for Stargate's developer, Crusoe, told Floodlight that the lata center has "contributed meaningfully to the economic development" of Abilene, and its investments are "funding new fire trucks, school expansions, and road improvements across the city."

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. , LETTER FROM BIRMINGHAM JAIL (1963)
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Councile or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

July 1st is the day we've all been waiting for.
The day when the Virginia Department of Health will begin accepting applications for pre-adoption birth certificates.
Applications must be completed online, by visiting https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/vital-
records/applications-for-a-vital-record/
VARA has gotten a first look at the online application form late today. In doing so, we have identified areas where information being requested is unclear or possibly unknown to adopted persons, which may result in difficulty for some in completing the application. Please know that VARA is in contact with the office of vital records and will be providing suggestions to them on how to adjust the form to better guide adoptees in providing the correct information.
We are appreciative to all of the staff of vital records and the help they have provided thus far. We ask that everyone please be patient with them as they work to implement this new process and make it as clear and efficient as possible for everyone.
VARA will be making additional posts with information you need to know before applying, so watch for those coming soon!

Update on CA’s original birth certificate legislation in OP’s 🧵

CALIFORNIA ALLIANCE
SB 381 UPDATE
The hearing did not proceed.
We refused amendments that would force adoptees to get birth-parent consent for their own birth certificate.
We won't trade equal rights for conditional access.
We'll be back.

I’ve never noticed the orangutans’ shoes in Planet of the Apes before

A pair of legs in melon-colored pants, wearing the same color orange shoes. The shoes are in the shape of an orangutan’s feet. Each have 4 toes and pronounced thumbs.

One of the books I read most obsessively as a kid (more than 12x) was A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, written in 1943 and set at the beginning of the 1900s. I learned a lot, and anything I didn’t immediately understand I looked up. Stop underestimating young people’s ability to connect with older lit!
