How do you feel how newsom is fighting back..heard he might be all talk but on board w what’s going on. I feel that may be true when I see lapd acting just as bad as ice! Who’s in charge of the California police?
We should not need to be reminded of the value of farm labor or told that we will lose access to food if ICE steals workers away. It should be enough for us to know that ICE actions are morally wrong and inhumane, and it is our duty to stand for the workers and their families.
Americans should also know that while MAGA spouts Project 2025 family values, there are immigrant children throughout our country who fear losing their parents to ICE.
I remember in 1968 when Robert F. Kennedy walked through the fields with Cesar Chavez and the Farm Workers in CA. Very powerful image that impacted the nation. He had a heart and respected the human beings who worked in the fields.
Trump must be removed along with his cohorts. He is destroying the United States, its economic systems, the lives of its people, its public lands, its order, and its security. He works for Putin and Trump’s own demons within his psyche —diagnosed a psychopath by Emeritus psychiatrist of 40 years practice. We cannot have a Hitler destroying the world with an increasing, predictable “death spiral.”

Thank you for updating the American people on what is happening to farm workers who do brutal laborious work day by day, without the thanks of those who are involved in food production in the USA., it is heartbreaking to know that there are millions living in fear because the 0raNg cR3t1n and his minions enjoy a life of suffering and misery for those who are part of the workers of America. Shame on maGa . Bless the farm workers and their families.
I'm outraged ... As I've already posted on BlueSky, I drove trucks that hauled all this produce, and spent a fair amount of time at the fields and got to know and see many of these workers. They are incredible...working at full speed when it's 114 degrees. Showed us how to keep cool and protected. They deserve so much more. This is insane and terroristic government action.
thank you for all this. this is how we stay connected to reality, by looking at it and calling things by their right names. like the people in Fahrenheit 451, who memorized entire books so that they could be reprinted when things changed, we need to keep truth alive by holding fast and caring for each other.
The trump regime is trying to ruin the farm and then starve us or too expensive to buy. He trying to take us down. Wake up!!

Sad. The facts are basic, and yet Americans voted for cruelty.
You are both amazing, thank you both for your voice and work.

The example she gave from the “Take Our Jobs” campaign years ago… I believe she said:
800,000 farm jobs needed filling
8,600 non-immigrants applied
12 showed up
Most of the 12 who showed up did not last a single day
Did I hear that right?
ICE is even raiding the marijuana farms. by the way - only farms I ever saw my white friends work at
I‘m so incredibly sad this is happening to these communities. It is so wrong. How can we help?

Unconscionable. Who will be left after Trump has taken those who harvest our food.
Thanks for that. Needed to hear this. Having a tough night with all of this 🙏🏼
