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 that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

🚨 🇺🇸 #ICEkidnappers and #BostonPoliceDepartment kidnapped yet again another #UScitizen. They snatched #JobGarcia based on the color of his skin outside #HomeDepot in #Hollywood.
In addition the regime thugs destroyed his property and asked each other "how many bodies have you caught today?"

Trump regime ICE troopers attacked an elderly woman (legal resident) selling tamales, they manhandled her so violently that she fainted, then threw her on the ground and stripped her, she had to be hospitalized.
She received medical help after US citizens intervened. #StopICE

"Whistleblowers being dropped out of windows happens in OTHER countries, not America!"
America, you just voted for these people: a Putin-loving fascist with a SV-hand-picked VP.
Good fucking job.
It shouldn't take this kid's family fighting for justice, but here we are.

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

Biden: Jimmy Carter lived a life measured not by words, but by his deeds. Just look at his life. He worked to eradicate disease not just at home, but around the world. He forged peace, advanced civil rights, human rights.. He built housing for the homeless with his own hands

I believe the majority of us in this world search for that which is lasting, true and good. President Carter was all of these. We owe him an incredible amount of gratitude for the lessons he taught us and the legacy he left us, We could all repay him by being a bit more like him.

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.
We escaped hell to be here.

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

Mike Johnson blocked a proposal to allow representatives who give birth 6 wks of remote voting so they can recover from birth. In response to him blocking the bill, GOP Rep Anna Luna stated "Female members shouldn’t be forced to choose between representing their constituents & having children."

Had insomnia last night. Was sitting up at 1:00 am in my bed in the dark, eating frosted animal cookies, and watching Friends on my phone, with Fraser snoring heroically beside me. The flash as I took his picture didn’t even make him stir.

Elon Musk takes far more federal dollars with far less oversight than any of the public scientists facing attacks.
People who come under attack should respond by making sure anyone listening knows how much federal money Musk makes, and how he shields it from scrutiny.
