Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Just a reminder, it's only peaceful for as long as the police allow it to be. It is always the police who decide if a protest is going to be violent.

We succeed in trauma recovery to the extent we become the adult we could & realistically would have turned to for understanding & help once upon a time.
That's the target I keep in mind.

I haven't seen the same outpouring of support for Rodney Hinton, Jr. that we saw for Luigi Mangione. GoFundMe took down the fundraiser for Hinton, who is accused of killing an officer shortly after he watched bodycam footage of police killing his 18-year-old son.

Easy does it. Slow, smooth inhale; hold it for a sec; easy, smooth exhale, like through a straw. Hook into that vagus nerve and center yourself. Ready steady. Wherever you are, whatever situation you’re faced w/ when you read this: you’ve got this.
Remember. Remember.
