Neo-Nazis got chased out by locals in # Templeton, #California when they attempted to do a banner drop.
NC Republicans just overrode Gov. Cooper's veto of their 12-week abortion ban.
You can still order abortion pills online in North Carolina, no matter what the law says. Plan C has a great guide to all the options here: https://plancpills.org/abortion-pill/north-carolina
You can get them before you're pregnant, and at a sliding scale. The two pills last 2 years (miso) and 5 years (mife). #ncga #ncpol
Egg prices are crashing. Here’s why
By Danielle Wiener-Bronner, CNN
Updated 9:46 AM EDT, Tue May 16, 2023
For months and months, the price of eggs was soaring. Now, they’re going splat.
As of last week, Midwest large eggs — the benchmark for eggs sold in their shells — cost just $0.94 per dozen in the wholesale market, according to Urner Barry, an independent price reporting agency. That’s a sharp fall from $5.46 per carton just six months ago. (In retail, prices are well above $1 per carton, though they too have been declining.)
Why the decline? It’s because of a reversal of supply-demand trends that caused prices to spike in the first place.
Last year, deadly avian flu wiped out a significant number of egg-laying hens, reducing egg supplies. On top of that, farmers had to deal with inflated feed and fuel costs.

Her: Thats because you project confidence like a flame thrower. You have an unshakable sense of who you are so nobody questions it.
Me: What? Confident? Im not confident.

A Russian man identified by KrebsOnSecurity in January 2022 as a prolific and vocal member of several top ransomware groups was the subject of two indictments unsealed by the Justice Department today. U.S. prosecutors say Mikhail Pavolovich Matveev, a.k.a. "Wazawaka" and "Boriselcin" worked with three different ransomware gangs that extorted hundreds of millions of dollars from companies, schools, hospitals and government agencies.
The indictments allege that on June 25, 2020, Matveev and his LockBit co-conspirators deployed LockBit ransomware against a law enforcement agency in Passaic County, New Jersey. Prosecutors say that on May 27, 2022, Matveev conspired with Hive to ransom a nonprofit behavioral healthcare organization headquartered in Mercer County, New Jersey. And on April 26, 2021, Matveev and his Babuk gang allegedly deployed ransomware against the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Treasury has added Matveev to its list of persons with whom it is illegal to transact financially. Also, the U.S. State Department is offering a $10 million reward for the capture and/or prosecution of Matveev, although he is unlikely to face either as long as he continues to reside in Russia.
