Worker standing by the 1000 lb box she needs to fill to earn $45 a box of lemons

It's citrus harvesting season in CAs San Joaquin Valley right now. Farm workers are laboring long hours harvesting oranges and lemons. Rosa is one of these workers in the Fresno area. She tells us she earns $47 for each 1,000 lb box she harvests. #WeFeedYou

Now that I've made peaceful revolution impossible it's time to sit back and enjoy my wealth and power with no adverse consequences

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

Spanish fishers in Galicia report ‘catastrophic’ collapse in shellfish stocks

On Mescalero Apache Tribe letterhead: MESCALERO Apache Tribe P.O. Box 227 108 Central Avenue Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 TRIBE Office: (575) 464-4494 Fax: (575) 464-9220 STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT THORA WALSH-PADILLA ON IMMIGRATION INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRIBAL MEMBER As of 3:45 PM this afternoon, the Tribe verified only a single incident where an ICE January 23, 2025 Mescalero, NM Last night and throughout the day today, I received multiple calls from concerned Mescalero Apache Tribal Members in relation to rumors of incidents involving Tribal Members and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. agent questioned a Tribal Member in a public place in Ruidoso. This incident occurred yesterday. ICE agents began questioning a family standing in line in front of the Tribal member. The family was escorted outside. Then, an ICE agent still inside the public place approached the Tribal Member in Spanish. The Tribal Member responded by stating the Tribal Member spoke English. The ICE agent asked the Tribal Member for a passport. The Tribal Member presented a picture of a New Mexico Driver's License and a Tribal identification card. The ICE agent did not continue questions at this point and exited. While this is the only incident we have been able to verify. Tribal leadership is actively working with the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to ensure that the rights of Tribal Members are protected. To be safe, be aware of your surroundings, let family members/friends know where you are, and keep identification with you at all times. If possible, then carry multiple forms of identification (driver's license, state-issued identification card, Tribal identification card, Certificate of Indian Blood, etc.). Thora Walsh-Padilla President

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.

Be a Strong Link for Immigrant Patients 🔗 Enhance the ethical care of all patients when immigration agents enter hospitals

Healthcare workers:
Now is a great time to plan ahead before you’re face-to-face with an ICE agent.

I’ve compiled 14 tips for healthcare workers ⬇️

Spread Information not panic When reporting or signal boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible! S.A.L.U.T.E. Size/Strength "5 to 6 Armed Agitators" Actions/Activity "Harassing random people on the move" Location & Direction "Manhattan, East of Central Park, E 97th St" Uniform/Clothes "Dark Jackets, ballcaps" Time & Date of Observation "8:32 PM June01" Equipment & Weapons "They have Body Armor and Pepper spray" Not a useful tweet: "proudboys spotted" "Where? When? What are they doing? How Many? What are they carrying?" Use your Judgement!

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.

It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Be specific!

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history Kansas public health officials say the state's ongoing tuberculosis outbreak is the largest since the CDC started reporting TB cases in the 1950s.

TLDR: A recent paper shows that social stances taken by companies can increase their revenue and that is because consumers drive how companies engage with social issues.

Put differently, what companies you buy from as a result of their social stances MATTERS. Do with that what you will. #econsky

Justice Department freezes all cases in civil rights division The memo doesn’t state how long the freeze will last, but it essentially shuts down the civil rights division for at least the first weeks of the Trump administration.

Home with bronchitis and I FINALLY watched I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO (thanks #kanopy and #pgcmls) I can't say it's comforting, but it is vital and brilliant. Highly recommend!

And it's LEGALLY free with ads on YouTube, if your library system doesn't have kanopy.

Russian disinfo network “Matryoshka” is migrating to Bluesky as exodus from X continues. You may notice them as posters who are smearing Chrystia Freeland, pushing anti-Ukrainian narratives, Germany's election, anti-EU rhetoric, anti-NATO rhetoric, etc.

Today, President Trump rescinded Executive Order 14087 signed by former President Biden in October 2022.

What did Executive Order 14087 do?

It lowered drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid—working class Americans.

This only benefits big pharma.

Agree. It's all a grift.

Marching up State St. to Trump Tower.

At least the sun is out! 🥶

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, Apple leader Tim Cook, and Google chief Sundar Pichai assembled at St John's Church to worship at the feet of Donald Trump.

These are the oligarchs who lined up to bring Donald Trump back to power. Capitalism has always meant rule by billionaires, but it is especially noxious that this particular billionaire has returned to office by pretending to oppose "the elite."
