“Democrats are deeply, historically unpopular right now, with a 57 percent unfavorability rating. This is absolutely no one’s fault but theirs. Their failure is so vast that they’ve yet to figure out why people are so unhappy. They’re listening to consultants who have only ever lost elections and Sunday morning talk-show hosts who platform insurrectionists and who tell them reaching their hands across the aisle is what the American people want. They’re wrong: According to a recent study conducted by the Center for American Progress, “bipartisan solutions” are what voters value the least. It would never in a million years occur to Democrats that maybe their supporters are mad because they gave bipartisan cover to Donald Trump to turn Guantánamo Bay into a concentration camp for immigrants, helped to confirm a man whose only qualification for being transportation secretary was winning the Road Rules Challenge, and can’t stop talking about “finding common ground” with a party currently being run jointly by a convicted felon and his unelected fascist salute–throwing pal. It’s time Democrats listen to us, and we’re going to have to do it the hard way.”

🇺🇸recall of 86 different ready-to-eat items including sandwiches, snack boxes, pasta, and meal boxes after being linked to multiyear, multistate listeria outbreak🇺🇸

sold in arizona, california, nevada, washington, and possibly distributed to other states. sold at stores and food service locations including hospitals, hotels, vending areas, breakroom areas, convenience stores, airports, and airlines. sold under at least 3 different labels. investigations are ongoing.

quick reminder: listeria can take weeks to months to cause illness.

FDA outbreak investigation page : CDC outbreak investigation page

FDA publish date may 11, 2025

before I (rune) talk about the recall itself, let me back up a bit. if all you want is the recall list, the link is right there, or scroll down.

illnesses were reported as far back as 2023. investigations began in 2024, but the source could not be tracked down. FDA and CDC investigations were reopened in april 2025 after routine FDA inspection of fresh & ready foods revealed equipment contaminated with listeria. this delay is one reason why reporting food poisoning is so fucking important, and how going to a doctor helps protect others. cases of illness were linked together, but there was not enough evidence to figure out what sickened patients until now. listeria can be especially tricky to track down, because it can sicken people weeks to months after they eat contaminated food.

alright. back to the recall.

Fresh & Ready Foods is voluntarily recalling some ready-to-eat sandwiches and snack items sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. This voluntary recall is being initiated due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.  The voluntarily recalled products were distributed between 04/18/2025 and 04/28/2025 in vending and breakroom areas within corporate offices, medical buildings and healthcare facilities located in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. This voluntary recall is specifically limited to the products with the “Use By” dates from 4/22/2025 to 05/19/2025 as detailed below.

some emphasis mine. "ready-to-eat" means foods that do not require cooking before eating, which is why they often cause food poisoning.

this company has been sickening people at least as far back as 2023, but only products within these use by dates are being recalled. the food was sold labeled not just as "fresh & ready" but also as "city point market fresh food to go" and "fresh take crave away".

important: the FDA investigation notes that products may have been distributed and sold in other states. those four states are only where these products were confirmed to have been sold so far.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, a Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

listeriosis, which is illness caused by listeria, can be fatal.

Call a healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating the recalled foods. Pregnant women: Fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. Your illness may be mild, but Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns. Other people may have: Headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. ... Symptoms usually start within 2 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria but may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after.

(from the CDC investigation)

while no illnesses have been reported in the specific date range of food being recalled, 10 illnesses have currently been linked to this outbreak, and all 10 patients were hospitalized. the true number of people sickened by this outbreak is likely higher and potentially involves other states. the investigations are ongoing.

both the FDA and CDC recommend you throw out the recalled food and clean any surfaces the recalled food may have touched, including refrigerators. listeria can survive and grow in refrigerators.

the recall announcement includes how to get a refund.

examples of the packaging of the three recalled labels. images are cropped by me to better display on tumblr.

and now for the giant fucking list of recalled food, typos and all. for the sake of keeping this readable because tumblr does not let me add tables: size, item number, container type, and use by date are excluded. check the recall page for that information, more product images, and more complete information about this recall.

remember: contaminated food may have been distributed and sold in the US beyond just the 4 currently confirmed states, and the locations of currently confirmed patients on investigation pages are NOT comprehensive lists of where people are at risk. a lot of people just look at the maps in the investigation links and consider them comprehensive despite what the text actually says. do not do that.

bookmark the investigations if you want to keep up with updates. I will also try to add updates in reblogs.

FDA outbreak investigation page : CDC outbreak investigation page

reminder: I do not post about every recall or foodborne illness outbreak, even just those in the united states. there are WAY fucking more recalls than the very few that I wind up posting.

check out the beloved, ugly, and half-broken recalls.gov for more links about recalls in the US. recalls are issued nearly every single day.

stay safe and take care!

Anyone who is committed to solidarity with disabled, chronically ill, and traumatized people:

Fadel ( @fadel-dani ) is in his early 20s. He's chronically ill with thalassemia, a blood disorder. The price of the medicine is too high to afford, and struggles with fainting.

He and his family have been displaced multiple times in the genocide. When his family returned to their home, bombs were dropped on them, destroying his childhood home.

Fadel woke up in a hospital and learned that, while unconscious, he had undergone surgery to remove metal shrapnel that had become lodged in his body in the bombing. Because of the extreme danger and the collapse of the health system, some of the pieces could not removed at their location.

The doctor assessed his health and told his family that he needs to receive treatment in another country as soon as possible. Obviously, doing so safely requires coordination and funds for both travel and the surgical fees once they get to a hospital. He has been living in a tent and trying to raise funds since then.

His campaign is vetted by: @gazavetters list (#197) and @90-ghost and @a-shade-of-blue

After fundraising for over 300 days, he had raised €14,500 (almost 50% of the €30,000 he needs). Then April 25, GoFundMe deleted his fundraiser with no warning or clear explanation. He contacted GoFundMe's technical support, but they ignored him and didn't respond.

He has had to restart all over again with a new fundraiser. So far only €3,522 donations have come in, a mere 12% of what he needs.

(All donations were returned to their donors, so if you previously donated, please return that money to him!)

He is still suffering the physical and psychological pain of feeling shrapnel from the Israeli bombing that destroyed his childhood home embedded in his body.

He is badly injured from a bombing, leaving him with fragments of metal in his body. He is in need of urgent surgery to remove them. He struggles with constant pain from this.

He has PTSD from repeated severe trauma, including the bombing of his childhood home while he was inside which left him with the fragments in his body. There is bombing around him, and he fears for his life constantly.

He is starving. Genocidal famine is being forced on him, his family, and many other families in Gaza.

If you have ever reblogged anything about chronic illness, disability, inaccessibility of healthcare, trauma, or food insecurity, recognize your commonality and solidarity with him.

Please donate anything you can.

hi everyone, i don't like having to do this as much as you don't like having to see it but my last post lost traction and once again i need to ask for your help.

i'm a disabled south american trans woman and things are rough. my mom is still undergoing cancer treatment and because of my disability and the fact that i'm a trans woman i can only find jobs doing odd gigs.

the cost of living in my country has become absurdly high and it keeps rising, and i don't manage to scratch even a fifth of it, so i come here to you begging and asking for help to at the very least be able to cover my mom's transportation to her oncologist and have a daily meal. once again i apologize for intruding and i thank any and every bit of generosity you could share with me, even in the form of reblogging this post

The bourgeoisie does its job splendidly; it makes all sorts of promises, but in effect pursues only its class policy.

“You just wrote your medieval fantasy setting to have medieval gender roles and homophobia and prejudice because you secretly fantasize about being able to be sexist and homophobic in a land with no PoC without any pushback! It’s fantasy, there’s dragons and wizards, it doesn’t have to have prejudice unless you, the writer, want it like that! In *my* D&D setting, there’s no sexism or homophobia, so that gay transgender women of all races can be holy knights fighting to protect the good kingdom from the endless hordes of the evil dark race that has threatened its borders for a thousand years!”

I.C.E. are the American Gestapo.

"The line of who is considered "legal" in this country is being moved very quickly, and you and people you love will be on the other side of it soon. If you are an ethical person, they are coming for you - and allowing more at-risk people to be disappeared is watching your allies be kidnapped and thinking it has nothing to do with you."

Fundraiser for the family:

"Last Thursday, our lives changed in a second. My husband was detained by immigration after coming to the aid of a family member who had been stopped for speeding by a Waldo police officer. Without having committed any crime, he was taken into custody, and from that moment on, our lives were up in the air. Our home is empty, and our hearts are broken.

What makes this situation even more painful and unfair is that we have ALWAYS done everything possible to be legally in this country. We have followed every rule, every change in immigration policies, every update in the procedures, because our only desire has been to do things the right way, to build a stable and secure future for our family. We have never wanted to live in the shadows or stay outside the law. We have worked hard, paid our taxes, and contributed to this society in the hopes of being accepted and living with dignity.

My husband is a hard-working, honest man dedicated to his family. He is the first to get up every morning and the last to go to bed, making sure we never lack for anything. He is always willing to help those who need it, and now he is the one who needs to be helped. His absence has been devastating for us, not only emotionally, but also financially. He is the breadwinner of our home, and without him, we face enormous uncertainty.

The hardest thing of all is trying to stay calm for my children. I'm doing everything I can to stay strong for them, but the truth is that this has broken me inside.

We have decided not to share too many personal details for the safety and well-being of our children. We hope you can understand and still support us in this difficult time.

The bail costs to bring him back home are overwhelming. We are doing everything we can to stay afloat, but this situation has left us without options. That is why I turn to you, with my heart in my hand, to ask for your support. We are trying to raise money to cover legal costs and secure his release.

Any contribution—no matter the amount—will bring us one step closer to having him back home. If you are unable to donate, please, I ask that your prayers mean more than you can imagine. We cannot face this alone.

This is not just a fight to reunite our family; It is a fight for justice. We did all the right things, we followed the rules, and yet we are living this nightmare. Please help us bring him back home. My family won't be complete until he returns.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening to our story, for your generosity, and for being with us in this very difficult and vulnerable time.”

my friend Omar is still desperately in need of funds. he is living in a tent, often going entire day without eating and his mental health and suicidal ideation have been awful as conditions worsen. the prospect of escaping seems far off and now it is simply trying to afford food to last day to day. he has endured so much loss of his friends and teammates (he played football before the destruction and displacement) Omar is a selfless, community minded man, and a radiant presence in this world, struggling with depression and being crushed by this brutal occupation.

please help him out; he is on insta and appreciates anyone sharing his posts or kind words. he speaks often of how much people ignore you if you are Black and Palestinian. please don't ignore this and consider skipping one small thing in your day to day, anything, and directing that to this campaign instead.

his campaign is also verified by the butterfly effect project mutual aid collective on line 1044

I don't think it's wrong to identify a petit bourgeoisie in the "artist" profession in the imperial core, whatever you're defining this as, the labor and resources used in an artist-run 'small business' in California or something can be traced to the same supply chains as like, Walmart. Like those websites that let you make your own T shirts with your art on it? You know it's not you actually making the T shirt...? This is not a post trying to guilt trip people, just pointing out a division in labor. If you think i'm lying do explain the panic among 'small business' including arts regarding Trump's tariffs. It impacts access to labor and materials.

in the modern day, religion is mostly a way of conceptualising political and economic power. it's absolutely true that people today don't typically accept stuff like god throwing the weather at the earth from a cloud, or the creation of the world in seven days, etc, because the scientific mechanisms of these things are inescapably well understood. so what do you think happens when communists start spreading knowledge of the actual scientific mechanism of political and economic power? it dislodges religion from those places -- and it is again a communist's primary objective to do this

"They’re not collateral damage — they are being targeted."

The image you see is not from a war movie. It's a real X-ray of a Palestinian child. A sniper's bullet pierced her skull. This was not an accident. It was a calculated shot — to the head. How many children must bleed before the world opens its eyes?

I see this, and I tremble. Because I, too, am a mother. My own child is injured. He cries every night from pain. He needs urgent medical care — but we are trapped under siege, under fear, under silence.

How long before my son becomes another X-ray? Another hashtag? Another number?

If you're reading this, you have power — power to share, power to donate, power to care.

Help me get my son out. Help save him before it’s too late. Gaza’s children are not targets. They are lives. They are futures. Please don’t look away

not sorry about this in the slightest but this is such a liberal take. what the fuck do you think NPR, PBS, and the public school system is doing besides disseminating propaganda (and preparing workers to a necessary level).

authoritarianism is a useless term and you are only calling it such because the president of the USA uses red colors. fascism (which this is not) is not defeated by The Common Good it is defeated by organized struggle under a marxist-leninist vanguard.
