Life in 2026: 1. Manners are passe. 2. Don't speak to another person's child no matter the exigency. 3. Weirdos speak to strangers without prompting. 4. Look at your screen and tune out.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

"Gina" works in the strawberries and shares, "Life is very difficult for me. I suffer from epileptic seizures. I persevere because there is no other way. All I know is the fields. I do my best to help my parents because they have sacrificed a lot to raise me." #WeFeedYou

To conservatives who’ve objected when some of us have suggested Trump is a fascist, and who’ve complained when some us point out that much of real existing American conservatism has devolved into fascism, if you’re silent about Trump’s threat of genocide you’re proving the point you’ve objected to.

The short peak season has begun in the strawberries on CA's Central Coast. In this 9 hour day, "Irma" managed to pick 90 flats or 1,020 of the plastic 1 pint boxes we buy at a supermarket. (A flat holds 12 plastic one pint baskets). She earns $2.20 a flat. #WeFeedYou

It's been 100 years since the first Negro History Week in 1926. @sibyllan.bsky.social urges the United States to continue to confront the truth about its history in classrooms and in public—parks, museums, and government websites. 🗃️ #blackhistory clioandthecontemporary.com/2026/03/07/b...

"Soledad" harvests strawberries in Oxnard. "December, January, and February are the worst months for strawberry workers. We don't earn enough to cover expenses. I have children & things are very difficult. I'm only working 4-5 hours/day. I barely earn enough for rent." #WeFeedYou

A new study analyzing 1.3 million Google reviews ranked Chicago as the world’s least authentic city based on traveler feedback.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

HAPPENING NOW: Good morning from the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee. A federal judge is set to preside over an evidentiary hearing on whether the United States government is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I'm here for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Bluesky as a collective isn't supportive enough of Rep. Al Green's consistent stand OR upset enough about our elder's dignity being violated. I ask, leftist for whom? Black leftists can't always be your shield against examining movement-deraling racism. This MUST become a less antiblack space.

4. None of the players involved here are going to see white people's social media posts playing down the N word and Black people's pain at hearing it uttered for whatever reason but a lot of Black people will and that is a medically documented disabling experience

After I heard about the incident a few hours ago, I spent some time reading about N-word tics and intrusive thoughts and what I came away with was a feeling of deepened anger about the way white supremacist society has associated “Black person” with this word so it’s there, in people’s brains

"Cecilia" is harvesting tangerines in Bakersfield CA. This is hard labor-intensive work, especially with the current damp fog. "We have to be careful to avoid damaging the thin skin as we harvest the fruit and make our way up and down steep ladders." #WeFeedYou

We're living in a terrifying new reality. Trump's DHS mob are killing US citizens, kidnapping kids and terrorizing hard working immigrants - including the farm workers who feed us. Call your Senators TODAY! Tell them don't fund ICEs terror campaign! act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun... #ICEout

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

I dreamt I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you or me. But Joe, I said, you're ten years dead! I never died, said he.

Most of this is pretty sound...except "allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise." #1 Digital radio technology has not worked this way in 35+ years #2 You can find a rogue transmitter in minutes with any $50 scanner. You're only painting a giant target on yourself with zero payoff

Thought about history/perspectives on BW being home/doing communal care work (compared to working for yts)…but during CRM “domestic workers became central to the movement’s success.” Care work is racialized and gendered, why some ppl downplay its role in movements vs. protest, hypervisible roles.
