Can't wait to share CLEANUP ON AISLE FIVE: ESSENTIAL WORK, POVERTY WAGES, AND THE VIEW FROM BEHIND THE SUPERMARKET REGISTER, my book about working in a store during the pandemic. Coming in June from @OneSignalPub.

@tvheidihatch @SherylJensen69 @KUTV2News Now you're just defensive. Look how the SL Trib did it. Not that hard. Delete your tweet and write a new one that accurately represents what the article says. x.com/sltrib/status/…

@SherylJensen69 @AnnLLarson @KUTV2News I get people complaining all day that I'm the evil MSM and people who are mad that I work for Sinclair. A long as everyone is made it appears I'm doing my job. Have a wonderful day and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Newly purchased ICE detention facility to provide 10k jobs, over $1 billion to economy kutv.com/news/local/new…

@tvheidihatch I'm a freelance journalist. I understand that headlines are tough. But your tweet is misleading about what's in the story. Take it down and write a better one.

@AnnLLarson I can’t read stories for you here on social media, I do provide that service during 2 News at 5, 6, and 10pm. I can post them, but you will never get a full story from a headline just like you can’t read a book by looking at its title. Have a great day.

@tvheidihatch No additional information. But you tweeted it out as fact. You're laundering govt propaganda as journalism. Do better.

You could read the story: However, ICE was unable to provide more details on how those numbers will play out and who will benefit. 2News reached out to ICE to ask the following questions: What types of jobs will the facility provide? How much of the projected economic impact will remain local? Will ICE bid out the contract work? How was the tax revenue calculated? A spokesperson for the agency said they had no additional information to share.

10K jobs at the concentration camp. Lol. This is a made up figure by people whose economic worldview can be summed up as "big number good!" And the media just repeats ICE's press release. Totally humiliating.

This is a sinister effort to block student loan relief by a future dept of education not led by absolute psychopaths. Congress granted the education department, not the treasury, the authority to "modify, settle, or cancel student loan debt" in the Higher Education Act of 1965.

One way to understand recent political history is as a well-coordinated effort by the richest people in society to cancel the minor reforms that ordinary people demanded and won after the 2008 financial crisis.

Judges are largely finding that criticism of Israel/Zionism is 1st amendment protected speech, not antisemitic. Ditto for slogans like “From the river to the sea” Major blows to pro-Israel lawfare operation theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

“They cut my belt off with a knife, as well as my boxers. They zip-tied my penis, tightened it and then dragged me all around the village.” My interview with a Palestinian man who says Israeli settlers sexually assaulted him cnn.com/2026/03/18/mid…

Walmart has filed a patent for systems that use AI to predict demand and automatically adjust prices. It is installing electronic shelf labels across all US stores. Labels can be remotely updated automatically. The patent that "helps merchants make decisions" is a machine that makes the decision and hands a merchant the paperwork?

Happy 155th anniversary to the Paris Commune when radical revolutionaries led by the educator and activist, Louise Michel, controlled parts of Paris for 2 months. March 18, 1871.

6th source = Dem. Mark Warner coming out of a classified intel briefing and telling reporters the war, as "others" had said, had been "dictated by Israel's goals and timeline." yahoo.com/news/articles/…

There's an effort now to say that since Joe Kent said it, charging Israel pushed Trump to launch this war is an antisemitic conspiracy theory. You'd have to ignore that this had already been reported by the NYT & W. Post + claimed by 3 rabidly pro-Israel, pro-war Trump allies:

The price of fresh vegetables jumped 48.9% last month. wtf. bls.gov/news.release/p…

A stunning statistic. "The US-Israeli pummeling of Iran is backed by 93% of the Jewish-Israeli population."

For @HammerandHope I interviewed Black women hit by DOGE and the impact a year later. The stories humanize the data. hammerandhope.org/article/trump-…

This is a common, very bourgeois error about the purpose of private school. The purpose of private school is not academic achievement. It is to establish a child within a social network of contacts that will help their career and marriage prospects for life.

@borrowNOTrent @n_hold Thanks for these recs! I had not seen them.

@n_hold @AnnLLarson that's funny, I came here to share a book as well I don't think it's jerk behavior to recommend a book esp as these are public conversations

We are not talking enough about workers' repetitive stress injuries. "Alice Driver....recounts workers whose hands continued making the same cutting motions even in their sleep — the body replaying the labor long after the shift had ended."

I reviewed Ibram X. Kendi's new book "Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age" for @nytimesbooks nytimes.com/2026/03/17/boo…

Israeli settlers sexually assaulted a Palestinian man during a violent overnight raid on Khirbet Humsa in the northern Jordan Valley, according to witness testimonies reported by Haaretz. Witnesses say dozens of masked settlers stormed the community around 1 a.m., dragged families from their tents, zip-tied men, women, and children, and forced them to watch as the man was stripped, doused with water, and beaten into the ground with clubs. Residents and two international activists said settlers beat girls and teenage girls, smashed heads and limbs, and piled bound family members—men, women, and children—on top of each other while continuing the assault. Victims were blindfolded, kicked, and struck repeatedly, while settlers threatened to kill the children and rape the women. Settlers also cut one man with a knife, stole valuables, and released livestock. Six people were evacuated for treatment. Residents said Israeli soldiers later detained them, allowing the settlers to flee. Full story below ⬇️
