Every strawberry tells a love story. Not the kind sold in candy, but a story rooted in sacrifice. Farmworkers harvest with care, yet they face low wages and fear. Love means respect. Love means justice. Love means standing with farmworkers.

Had a productive meeting at the Munich Security Conference with Danish Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social.

No matter who's in the White House, California will always be a steady partner committed to shared democratic values, climate action, and economic cooperation.

Thank you to EU Climate Commissioner @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu for meeting at the Munich Security Conference to discuss our shared net-zero and clean energy goals.

We look forward to strengthening climate cooperation between California and the EU.

Telework saves money, cuts pollution, and recruits the workforce Californians rely on. #AB1729 by @votealexlee.bsky.social brings transparency, real data on costs, & accountability for RTO mandates. We stand with @seiu1000.bsky.social for smart, equitable state policy that respects state workers.

Since Roe was overturned in 2022, thousands of people have traveled from other states to California to get the care they are being denied in other states — we do not discriminate in supporting people accessing the health care they want or need.

Trump accepts ownership of the current economy: 'I'm very proud of it' In an exclusive interview with NBC News, the president said the country is already experiencing the "Trump economy."

Working people are paying more for rent, groceries, utilities, health insurance and more — all while billionaires and corporations get richer.

And President Trump says he’s proud of it? Really?!

It's appropriate on #BlackHistoryMonth we uplift Kevin's voice. He's been a Jamaican H2A worker for the last 10 yrs & is excited over the implementation of his UFW contract at NYs Wafler Farms. He's looking forward to getting the benefits his contract provides. #UnionsForAll

Landmark trial accusing tech giants of harming children with addictive social media begins The world's biggest social media companies face several landmark trials this year that seek to hold them responsible for harms to children who use their platforms. Opening statements for the first, in...

Instagram's parent company Meta and Google's YouTube face claims that their platforms deliberately addict and harm children. TikTok and Snap, which were originally named in the lawsuit, settled for undisclosed sums. https://to.pbs.org/4rALyP3

These farm workers are preparing for the strawberry harvest. They're weeding & removing the runners (leafless stems) that can steal nutrients from the plants. This step will also make it easier for workers to move efficiently and harvest more during the harvest season. #WeFeedYou

I might not always be up-to-date on the current lingo, but I will always protect reproductive health care.

A timely throwback with @ppactionca.bsky.social from July 2023.

farm worker bent over pulling out weeds in grape vineyard

"Gustavo" sent this from where he is spending his work day bent over pulling out weeds in grape vineyards in the Mettler CA area. #WeFeedYou

“Gustavo” envió esto desde donde pasa su jornada laboral agachado, arrancando hierba en los viñedos del área de Mettler, California. #SoyEsencial

En aproximadamente una semana, se espera que el Senado vote sobre la asignación de miles de millones de dólares más en fondos para ICE y la Patrulla Fronteriza. Juntos podemos detenerlo. ¡Llama a tu senador HOY y pídele que vote NO!

Supreme Court allows California to use congressional districts that favor Democrats No justices dissented from the brief order denying the appeal without explanation, as is common on the court's emergency docket.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year's elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration. https://to.pbs.org/4klmObt

Federal court upholds California's new congressional districts in a victory for Democrats In a victory for Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic Party, a federal court ruled California can use its newly configured congressional district boundaries for the 2026 midterms.

We look forward to flipping the House Blue in November. Huge thanks to every voter who supported Prop 50, every Democrat who put their name to it, and the team that fought to defend it and won. #CALeg #Prop50

BREAKING: SUPREME COURT ALLOWS NEW CALIFORNIA VOTING MAP FOR MIDTERMS!

Farm workers planting strawberries

"Iliana" has been working in the strawberry fields in Watsonville, CA for the last 16 years. "She and her coworkers are currently planting strawberries. "I get very tired because I have to bend over all day long to do this type of work. But it feeds my family." #WeFeedYou

In 1921, an economically vibrant Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma—known as Black Wall Street—was attacked and burned to the ground by white supremacists. Knowing and understanding history is the only way we move forward and finally heal generational wounds. #BlackHistoryMonth

America’s unions gathered across the country this past week to mourn the senseless killing of our AFGE union brother Alex Pretti.

His loss is devastating and maddening. We call on ICE to leave our communities and workplaces before anyone else is hurt or killed.

One year after the Bakersfield raids of January 2025. Kern County is no stranger to struggle. Just like the Delano Grape Strike of the 1960s, our communities will not give up. Together we will continue the fight for justice and dignity. #WeFeedYou #ICEOut

The legendary @janefonda.com wants us all to get organized: indivisible.org/get-involved/find-a-group/

Thousands of our Haitian coworkers and neighbors had their work permits revoked in the Trump admin’s latest attack on TPS.

Politically targeting immigrant communities and forcing them out of their jobs, our unions and the economy destabilizes workplaces and rips families apart.

Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raym...

1/ BREAKING: Government documents reviewed by ProPublica identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, as the two who fired their weapons during the deadly encounter with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

86 years ago today, Miss Fuller received the first Social Security check, marking the start of Social Security’s promise to the people.

Today, that promise is under threat.

While Republicans look to break it, Democrats are committed to making it stronger.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.
