I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

The minutes of the Kerr County Texas Republicans deciding to not install weather warning sirens because the money came from the Biden administration, and to spite blue states, also voted to sit on the money and not send it back to stop Democrats from using it.

This is a cover-up.
Five Florida lawmakers were blocked from entering Alligator Alcatraz—told it was “unsafe.”
But Trump, DeSantis, and Noem toured it last week just fine.
So why can’t lawmakers do their legal oversight? And if it’s too dangerous for them, what about the migrants trapped inside?

As someone who employed RNs, majority females, the high cost of childcare was a major cause of staff leaving the field or going part time. Until the US prioritizes families or lowers the cost of living, the birth rate will continue to fall. This is a bipartisan problem.

US adults want the government to focus on child care costs, not birth rates, AP-NORC poll finds
A new AP-NORC poll finds most Americans do not want the government to focus on increasing birth rates, despite efforts by the Trump administration to make this a priority.

Q: What specific actions did local officials take between 1:14am, when the first flood emergency alert came out, & hours later when the flooding started?
COUNTY SHERIFF: We're in the process of trying to put a timeline. That is not my priority at this time.
Q: Was the emergency manager awake?

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Talk to, essentially, ANY families who have moved someone into long term care recently. There’s not exactly a surplus of facilities around today…
