"Alice" sent this photo from where she's working in the blueberries in Kern County. "We are paid piece rate - $1.10 a pound. However a lot of the fruit is still green, so it's very slow picking. Even working fast, we only pick around 13 lbs per hour." #WeFeedYou

The State of West Virginia permitted active mining of a public water source for rare earth minerals. Residents still have not been provided drinking water from the state and still have to pay their water bills. #waterforwv

No secret here: I think working class folks should be elected to every seat of government. It's doable, but will take work. My latest on Working Class Stories. open.substack.com/pub/workingcla…

This is what oligarchy looks like. 50 billionaires have spent $433 million to buy the elections in November. 80% is going to candidates who supported a $1 trillion tax break for the top 1% & a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act. We must end Citizens United.

@RaleighReporter I think the same guy has been working with/being paid by Sheriff White of Franklin County, who was one of the only people who stood with Robinson during those last weeks of his campaign. And doesn't he have a bunch of fraud investigations in Florida?

Robinson's second campaign manager after the first one quit is also running this podcast, Bryan reported...and that manager was still getting paid by Robinson's campaign last year, long after he left politics #ncpol

@BryanRAnderson Agreed. Its amazing that he talks for an hour and a half about how God tested him with porn but then in the last three minutes is like "but I would have won if I had a different team." Like his team could have just edited that out but they just didnt bother.

The only regret I hear in Robinson interview is this: "I should have changed campaign teams in the summer and took my campaign in a completely different direction. And if I had, I believe even with the CNN scandal, I still would've won the race." What he's alluding to--> #ncpol

And after admitting lying, but not apologizing, and going on and on about pornography and carnal desire, he then in the last three minutes blames his campaign team for him not winning!!!! Like imagine leaving that in as the ending when you have the full ability to edit?

Usually not on Twitter, but as a dutiful North Carolinian, I am reporting for duty. I have just watched all 1 hour and 33 minutes of the Mark Robinson exclusive with Josh Hall (who?) So you dont have to and can spend time with your family instead. Below, I will summarize.

He spends MOST it talking about the sins of pornography and abojt how grateful that God tested him with pornography so that he could become a leader? Admittedly I was doing dishes during this part.

Robinson admits he lied- vague about what - but claims he didnt want to but hsd to valiantly protect everyone around him. He never acknowledges that he made his wife go on TV to defend him or that he SUED one of the men who was telling the trut, accusing that man of lying.

Nowhere in the full hour and half does Robinson ever talk about his wants for Noeth Carolina, why he ran for office, policy or anything that would give a hint he had an interest in governance ever. Probably because he wasn't. NOT ONCE.

The first twenty-- no really, a full twenty minutes-- is Robinson recounting the story of going to Greensboro City Council public comment period and his comments going viral. You can tell he still marvels at this and loves to tell this story.

Josh Hall (who?) Of After the Call (what?) Asks FOUR questions in the first hour. The rest is just Mark Robinson talking uninterrupted and unedited. It just goes on and on. It is NOT and interview, Josh Hall (who?) Just nods along and says "mmmhmmm" a lot.
