"Eri" is harvesting olives near Redley CA and often ends up making below minimum wage. "Farm labor is not valued. The bosses don't care. We earn very little and the work is very risky with us climbing a 16ft ladder. It's the rainy season & our checks are very low." #WeFeedYou

Well, with psychotic talk like that, it sounds like she should be getting an offer to come back to Fox News any day now.
Hey, can my deleted BlueSky post get re-posted?

I cannot for the life of me understand people who are intent on destroying public schools, and trying to remake them into religious schools. They don’t understand the most fundamental principles of our Constitution.
A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools:

“It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.
Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

"Omar" shares, "This is how we pick red jalapeños. We're bent over for hours, in the cold, fog, or under the sun. We feel daily back and knee pain. We have hope that one day our conditions will improve and the hard work we do will be recognized." #WeFeedYou

This holiday season, opt out of shopping at big-name retailers like Amazon or Target, and get your gifts from a Latino-owned small business instead. Every dollar spent at a local neighborhood shop is an investment in our communities. Shop small! 🎁

youtube.com/watch?v=l6De... Well, if there ever was a “War on Christmas,” it sounds like it was Trump’s tariffs, which are threatening a thriving Christmas decoration business to extinction. Good going, Trump.
Tariffs, economic pressures raise prices on holiday decorations

"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

Well, here is something I am NOT thankful for. Georgia saw fit to simply drop this landmark case against Trump, setting a horrible precedent. That they buried the story on Thanksgiving Eve was also pathetic. Yet again, Dems have seized defeat from the jaws of victory. www.cnn.com/2025/11/26/p...
