Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

That includes the workers who help farmers struggling with tariffs and who respond to avian flu outbreaks.
