We also we talked about his favorite action movies, and, friends, his choices didn't disappoint.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Farm workers spend up to 11 hours a day on their knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. #WeFeedYou

Do you remember when you were growing up, do you remember how simple life was, how chairs looked bigger and how a person would disappear if they covered their face with their hands and then reappear by moving their hands? We can have that again, but to do that,

Do you remember when you were growing up, do you remember how simple life was, how easy it felt? It was about faith, family, and country. We can have that again, but to do that, we must vote Joe Biden out. #RTM2023

my expert advice for Putin as a longtime 4X player is to reload from the last autosave and hope you generate a different random event

Stoller connects today’s populists to the Farmer’s Alliance and Populist Party of the late 19th century but this is absolutely not what the Farmer’s Alliance envisioned, to the extent that you can treat it as a singular entity.

Replying to @Thefarthests and @jbouie
Populism is about supporting small farms, independent merchants, and workers vs distant monopoly power. His view is that distant monopolists have more humane incentives than independent small firms.

This is belied by the pervasive wage theft that characterizes American workplaces, including the much-lauded small businesses.

Small business owners care about their employees because they see them and interact with them everyday.
SMB owners know their employees names, their partners’ names, their kids names and their hobbies.
Trashing small business is akin to trashing the backbone of America. twitter.com/matthewstoller…

This is a fascinating anti-populist view from @jbouie trashing small business as culturally authoritarian, unlike those large and smooth multinationals. Trump represents the “small-time capitalist and family firm.”

If you own a copy of anything remotely valuable or interesting — film, TV, music — try to save it, and the device you can played it on. The new generation of corporate overlords are just gonna destroy it or delete it. And yeah, make copies.

It is so hard to follow news on Twitter now and I genuinely want to know what’s happening in Moscow. Taking away badges from journalists the all time stupidest decision of all time.
