As you enjoy picking and carving your #Halloween pumpkin, remember the farm workers who labored to grow and harvest them. Let's give a big thanks to the Salinas CA farm workers who harvested these pumpkins that have ended up at local pumpkin patches and area stores. #WeFeedYou

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

On 8/22, 8/23, and 8/25, protest the techno-fascist billionaire whose company powers ICE, funds genocide, and runs the surveillance state—Peter Thiel.

This Nazi is a danger to democracy everywhere. It’s time to #PurgePalantir.

The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC.

All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC.

This was never about "fighting crime."

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.

The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio are sending National Guard troops to D.C. to support an already completely unnecessary occupation of an American city.

The Republican Party is occupied by a fascist regime hellbent on using every method at its disposal to destroy democracy.

America, wake up.

The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82.

Am I doing this right?

Farm workers were harvesting tart cherries in upstate New York earlier this month in 88° weather. They shared that the work is hard. Workers need to move quickly and carefully to harvest the cherries without bruising. Small crews need to cover a large area. #WeFeedYou

Trump's budget gives ICE more funds than most countries' militaries.

ICE is now ramping up by offering signing bonuses.

Meanwhile, Trump is slashing education funding and closing the Dept. of Ed.

94% of teachers have spent their own money on school supplies.

Priorities.

Tried to cancel my Paramount+ subscription due to the merger/fascism bullshit and got this note. I'm guessing lots of other people had the same idea?

We are a nation under duress. People are being taken from their homes, from grocery stores, from safe places. People with no prior criminal history. People who have active cases for citizenship or asylum.

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday.

We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

ICE just got a 265% detention funding boost.

Palantir software is being used to create the federal government’s first national citizenship data bank.

The Trump regime is attacking naturalized citizens and birthright citizenship.

Be warned — Trump’s police state is here.
