REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still:

• Has his job
• Gets paid, and
• Gets free world-class healthcare

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave, is getting all three when he needs it most. Every person deserves the human dignity McConnell is getting on the taxpayer dime. Anything less is shameless cruel hypocrisy.

2 years eh? That sucks. With more ASD diagnoses in the population things should get easier, but damn this is hard today

Anybody know of anything else that would be quite wise to purchase sooner than later, due to potential (or incoming) regulation that would be regarded as privacy-infringing to enforce? I was thinking about this because I've been pondering a high-quality 3D printer purchase for this reason.

Advice for varying levels of budget would be quite nice, too; I partially intend on this being a post people may want to revisit.

This is who you are being mean to

Salinas Lettuce Strike (1934)

Mon Aug 27, 1934

On this day in 1934, lettuce cutters went on strike in Salinas Valley, California, demanding official union recognition and a wage increase, leading to the creation of one of the first Filipino unions in the United States.

Of the approximately 7,000 workers who became involved in the strike, almost half were Filipinos. The Filipino Labor Union (FLU) was the main organizing force behind the labor action.

In response to picketing workers, Filipinos were targeted and attacked by anti-strike vigilantes and the police. After Rufo Canete was appointed president of the FLU and formed a new strike committee, a large mob of vigilantes burned down Canete's labor camp, an organizational center for the FLU and home to hundreds of Filipino workers, and drove hundreds of Filipinos out of Salinas Valley at gunpoint.

The strike ended on September 24th, 1934, with workers winning official FLU recognition and a wage increase.

Seems like there are events around the fediverse that don't always fit a piefed community and I thought it might be cool to have a community dedicated to setting up and sharing events on Piefed

Dozens have died and hundreds were reported missing, including 341 foreign tourists. Rescue helicopters have been unable to land in affected areas due to high floodwaters.
