Wait. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Medicaid recipients could replace immigrant farmworkers. Is she daft?
Does she have any idea why folks are on Medicaid? Or what’s involved in picking crops? My goodness.

It is our land! It doesn’t belong in the hands of private and wealthy interests.
Our push to remove public land sales from the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” worked – but the threat is still alive and well.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
