Farmworkers face steep wage cuts: US workers could lose $3.52/hr—H2A guest workers $6.52/hr—under a new rule.
The Dept. of Labor admits this will shift $2.5B/year from workers to employers. Advocates such as @ufw.bsky.social call it “horrendous” and warn it deepens poverty.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
