@GGunthorp @BruegelMargaret @RepThomasMassie If they don’t fix inspections then how does the rest even matter?

@BruegelMargaret I’d guess @RepThomasMassie is focusing hearing more on Prime Act and food sovereignty rather than fixing dysfunction in inspection system for smallest slaughter plants.

House Judiciary Committee called me last Wednesday seeing if I would present at a hearing on Meat and Poultry Inspection. Found out today they are going in a different direction and I didn't make the list of four presenters.

@StevePerkins14 @TxStormChasers @AdamLucioWX Yep

@ungdommenferdig Thank you . I tried to find the letter last year and found the internet had been wiped clean of any evidence of what went on in 2021. Perhaps change could begin with owning past behavior.

@BenEhrenreich She helped make us all better people.

Sad news. Barbara Ehrenreich, my one and only mother, died on September 1, a few days after her 81st birthday. She was, she made clear, ready to go. She was never much for thoughts and prayers, but you can honor her memory by loving one another, and by fighting like hell.
