Those mushrooms you see in the woods that look just like the ones you buy in the grocery store? Don't be fooled. In California, recent scattered outbreaks of amatoxin poisoning from death cap mushrooms have hospitalized foragers and their dinner guests, killing one.

Not good on pizza: Great Lakes Cheese shredded products with mozzarella ("pizza-style" "Italian-style") may have metal fragments. Ouch! Sold in 31 states at Target, Aldi, Walmart, Publix, etc., under lots of brand names. Click for brands.

Undocumented farmworkers have formed the backbone of California agriculture for more than a century, yet they face mounting fears of ICE raids under the Trump administration.

Hard lives in California's fields: 'The American dream eats us alive'
Immigrant farmworkers toil, season after season, in jobs that most Americans wouldn't endure for a week. It's a rough life that takes a heavy toll.

Kids pick our fruits and veggies? Underage kids work in California's agriculture industry, some as young as 11. They go without shade, water, or proper breaks and are paid by the piece, less than minimum wage. Chemical exposure to pesticides too.

Today I want to tell you about farmworkers.
Specifically, the child farmworkers of California's Central Valley.
As young as 12 years old.
In a blue state that is failing to ensure their health and safety.
Amazing investigation in 2 parts from our friends at @capitalandmain.bsky.social. Part I:

ICE raids on farms have a chilling effect on the labor force, leaving crops unharvested in the fields and supply chains disrupted. Agricultural employment dropped 6.5%. Replacing and retraining workers is costly and time-consuming for farmers. Those costs get passed on to you.

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

This Thanksgiving, let’s ask: are we feeding families—or factory farms?

Nearly 70% of U.S. grain goes to animals in industrial systems, not "people."

Our latest op-ed in

This Thanksgiving, Let’s Feed Families, Not Factory Farms | Common Dreams
​Nearly 70% of the grain grown in this country—corn, soy, wheat, and barley—never feeds a single human being. Instead, it’s fed to pigs, chickens, and cows packed into industrial animal factories.

Our food system is unhealthy. Recalls are surging and the severity of foodborne illnesses has intensified. We need to track production and require full transparency. And we must move to the small humane farm model used by Vital Farms.

“Why not just hire Americans?”

🧑‍🌾“We’d love to. We can’t find the numbers. This is hard work lots of people won’t do… Trump’s policies are definitely impacting the labor force and hurting our farmers. 50-60% of the labor force is undocumented.”

Tragic! Babies given ByHeart infant formula in late 2024 and early 2025 were hospitalized before the outbreak was identified. Parents had no idea what made their infants so sick; infant botulism had not been found in formula before this.

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade.

It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.
