But they aren’t documented so they wouldn’t be pa…..nvm

This is a huge misconception for regular Americans. When the government uses the phrase “undocumented” they’re using it incorrectly because if they were truly undocumented then they would’ve be in system. However these immigrants are in the system and they pay taxes, file tax returns and get no benefits that citizens and legal residents get. They also get to see ICE showing up at their doors because the government has their addresses. Fun fact. “Undocumented” workers pays $12 billion dollars every year in taxes. https://www.google.com/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2016/10/06/how-much-tax-do-americas-undocumented-immigrants-actually-pay-infographic/amp/

Reblogging for info.

“Undocumented” just means “without papers,” i.e. a social security card, valid visa, etc. They’re still on databases and whatnot, they just don’t have the documentation that allows them to reap the benefits.

so if it didn’t click- the government is aware of their presence and gladly taking their money under the table while simultaneously promoting the idea that undocumented people are a threat and encouraging hatred and distrust of them it’s super messed up, literally the scheme of an evil villain, and it’s really happening

🗣 undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles contribute more to the GDP than the state of Montana and like 5 other states

Please! Share this everywhere, with every contact, on every platform! The Pennsylvania state department of agriculture is trying to drive small farmers out of business and will go for home gardens next!

Even if you are not in the USA the on the look out for things like this in your home country.

If we loose the freedom to produce our own food then we lose everything. The Pennsylvania department of agriculture Must be defeated. Any organization or government that tries to do this must be stopped. Share and Pray, please.

Okay, so that video is a wee bit fear mongering. I looked into it.

This dude wasn't complying with Federal Standards. It's not just a Pennsylvania thing, it's a literal Federal Violation thing; he had two E Coli outbreaks traced back to his farm and wouldn't stop selling raw milk.

A lot of people don't realize how raw milk can kill you, or how it can mess you up. There's a reason we pasteurize it. Many people don't understand and assume it's just people being against being organic, but this is incorrect.

So here's what raw milk can and will do to you.

Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and basically just straight up severe food poisoning. Not the kind you spend the day vomiting into the toilet for, the kind you go to the hospital for.

Also there's an info graphic.

Pasteurization is literally just heating the milk up to kill the bad stuff.

It's also important to comply with Federal Regulations for milk because cows are like dogs; they'll eat anything. There's a plant they can eat that will turn their milk deadly, (it's this thing this is what killed Abraham Lincoln's mom), and by adhering to regulation and getting that milk tested, you make sure no one else follows the same fate.

This also raises concerns for me, regarding what he was doing to his cattle if he couldn't even be bothered to Pasteurize the fucking milk. Did he even vaccinate his cattle? Did he routinely de-worm them? Is he actually using FDA approved methods of farming? How many people have gotten sick from this man's produce because he couldn't be bothered to follow basic rules?

I went to an Agricultural school, and while it wasn't my major, the importance of FDA standards got drilled into everyone's head.

This isn't "one man against a corrupt government that's bullying him" it's "one man against a corrupt government that's actually got a point, people were getting sick dude, just follow the rules it isn't that hard we made a book".

Moving on to the creator of this video, Dr. Steve Turley. (cannot confirm whether or not he's an actual doctor).

He's made a lot of questionable videos. In one he claims one month ago from today's date that the Texas Military was preparing for a showdown at the border. I live in Texas. No it was not.

In another he states that Trump won the 2024 election.

False, Trump has felonies and is ineligible for running for president, and I have no idea why people refuse to see that.

His banner literally says "A new conservative age is rising", indicating heavy bias on anything. I would have the same conclusion if it said "A new liberal age is rising". It indicates a level of delusion either way, as both are bullshit.

Other videos of his are

and

The man is a Christian Nationalist with a heavy bias that he doesn't bother to hide. Anything from his channel is fear mongering or talking to an echo room.

TLDR; video used to demonstrate this exaggerated and lied, it's really just an instance of some dude not adhering to Federal Regulation and getting people sick.

Good/terrible news! There's audio!

Oh yeah, this is absolutely true! The area of the North of England where they grow most of it is sometimes referred to as the Rhubarb Triangle. The centre of it is the city of Wakefield, which holds an annual Rhubarb Festival.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Also do NOT append "12ft.io/" before a URL ! Typing an URL like this https://12ft.io/<URL> will redirect to a site that would break the display of the page by removing the paywall !

Honestly it's kind of prohibited to mash CTRL+P before some paywall windows can load in to get a PDF of the article. Really shouldn't be done tbh very dangerous🤷🏿‍♂️ ❌️

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

See the chap with glasses and an incredible moustache in the bottom right? that's Magnus Hirschfeld, the gay Jewish doctor who ran the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Research) in Berlin. It was largely his books, his research that the Nazis burned.

Everyone else in this photo is a trans person that Dr Hirschfeld worked with. This photo was taken at their christmas party.

It is important to note that this action was not an "oh, Nazis ALSO targetted other prople". They directly linked Hirschfeld's institute and research to claims of a Jewish plot to destroy German society.

If that sounds familiar, it's because it is the EXACT same rhetoric being rolled out by prominent TERFs for the last few years including, yes, The Wizard Lady.

Antisemitism, racism, and transphobia/homophobia are ALWAYS linked together.

This is the hot coffee case all over again isn’t it

No it isn't. The hot coffee case involved an elderly woman getting 3rd degree burns (where your skin is cooked off of your body) because a McDonalds served coffee at just about boiling, despite having many complaints about burns in the past. Also, the woman suing only asked for medical costs, the jury slapped a huge punitive judgement on top of that.

Yeah that’s what I mean. Like is this case really what’s happening in this headline or a corporate smear campaign

The TL;DR (i read the the thing on classaction.org)

  • Kraft says their single serve cups are ready in 3.5 minutes total. True, it take 3.5 minutes to microwave the cup, but there's more prep time and the instructions call for more ingredients, such as water. There's also the additional time it take to stir in the cheese powder. So in actuality, it could take closer to 5-6 minutes (estimating here).
  • Because Kraft is selling the speed and convenience of the single serve, it's sold at a premium (11 bucks for an 8 pack, excluding tax, which yowza!), which is much higher than similar products that, in reality, would take as much time to prepare as the Velveeta.
  • Like I can't speak for everyone but I see those Velveeta cups at the grocery store and they're more expensive than even the other Kraft single serves, and you just know it's not because of the Velveeta powder.
  • This is a class action lawsuit. The plaintiff isn't getting all 5 million, it'll go to everyone who is *COPD with chronic bronchitis ad voice* entitled to financial compensation.
  • The firm representing the plaintiff specializes in cases like this, which also includes cases such as Frito-Lay lying about not using real lime in their "hint of lime" Tostito chips (so they can charge more), Kellogg lying about how much fruit they (don't) put in their fruit pop-tarts in spite of the advertising (so they can charge more), the use of synthetic vanilla in premium goods claiming to have real vanilla (so they can charge more), and, oh yeah, arsenic in baby food.
  • If you're wondering why this matters, consider that this isn't a MRE. It needs prep, not just in time but in additional ingredients, which would be damned inconvenient at best if, say, you didn't have access to water. This, and the time issue, is, in a very real sense, false advertising. It stands to reason that Kraft made a decent profit off this false advertising.
  • In a similar vein (see: "hint of lime" chips not having lime but a vaguely defined "natural flavoring"), it's about truth in the advertised product, and that the company knew it was lying to its customers. Like if Special K isn't putting real blueberries in its cereal (just pineapple and blue dye), but advertising the cereal as having those blueberries, what happens if a kid allergic to pineapple, or allergic to the dye used, eats the cereal and has a reaction? What if there's no water to make the damn macaroni and cheese?
  • Cases like this give the more serious cases (ARSENIC. BABY FOOD.) more of a legal foothold.
  • You can't really say "burn corporations to the ground" or "lol kill jeff bezos" and in that same breath call the plaintiff a stupid Karen or whatever for calling out the obvious bullshit Kraft is pulling here. Those single serve cups are freaking expensive for what you get and are sold at a markup because they promise a convenience that they don't actually deliver on.

Sudan is going through a famine, and with Ramadan coming up (this year it'll start March 10th), it would be nice to donate so that families can have food and medicine.

With the exchange rates for many of us, even a small donation could help in a big way, you don't need to donate the full $30.
