Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iranβs progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. Itβs sick.

In addition the regime thugs destroyed his property and asked each other "how many bodies have you caught today?"

Trump regime ICE troopers attacked an elderly woman (legal resident) selling tamales, they manhandled her so violently that she fainted, then threw her on the ground and stripped her, she had to be hospitalized.
She received medical help after US citizens intervened. #StopICE

The parents of Suchir Balaji, the OpenAl whistieblower, hired a private investigator and did a private autopsy after his sudden, suspicious death. The findings show a ransacked apartment, signs of struggle, and the new autopsy doesn't agree with 'suicideβ as cause of death.
Poornima Rao @RaoPoomima
Update on @suchirbalaji We hired private investigator and did second autopsy to throw light on cause of death. Private autopsy doesn't confirm cause of death stated by police. Suchirβs apartment was ransacked , sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like some one hit him in bathroom based on blood spots. it's a cold blooded mu*d'r declared by authorities as suicide. Lobbying in SF city doesn't stop us from getting justices. We demand FBi investigation @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @GavinNewsom @MEA

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

Biden: Jimmy Carter lived a life measured not by words, but by his deeds. Just look at his life. He worked to eradicate disease not just at home, but around the world. He forged peace, advanced civil rights, human rights.. He built housing for the homeless with his own hands

I believe the majority of us in this world search for that which is lasting, true and good. President Carter was all of these. We owe him an incredible amount of gratitude for the lessons he taught us and the legacy he left us, We could all repay him by being a bit more like him.

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

Elon Musk takes far more federal dollars with far less oversight than any of the public scientists facing attacks.
People who come under attack should respond by making sure anyone listening knows how much federal money Musk makes, and how he shields it from scrutiny.
