Workers in the area of Huron CA are harvesting pomegranates. "Sita" shares, "We have to climb up and down ladders all day. At this time of year it can get dangerous as the dew makes the ladder slippery. This can cause accidents if we are not careful." #WeFeedYou

"Juana" is harvesting citrus in Fresno CA. "It's a hard job. I climb a 20 foot ladder carrying an 80lb sack of oranges. It takes 2-3 hrs to fill the bin in the picture. I earn $35-50/bin depending on the type. I work hard to provide food and shelter for me and my son." #WeFeedYou

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before

but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply
