"The people who work on farms often don't own them" is something that would have been completely intuitive to 99% of people for 99% of human history but is completely unintelligible to the people who make US public policy.
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 6d agoA very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.

We received a firsthand report of ICE taking someone from downtown Chicago this morning during a routine immigration check-in at 101 W. Ida B Wells. In addition to street and court arrests, ICE has been taking people from immigration check-in appointments since before Operation Midway Blitz.
unraveled@unraveledpress.com · last yr.It was a frantic day for Chicagoans yesterday as ICE operations in the city escalated. Agents abducted a longtime organizer at an ICE check-in site, and separated families inside immigration court. City council members and activists tried to halt the vans. CPD was there:
I’m just now hearing about this—corporate media has ignored it completely. On May 8, a man found the lifeless body of a 17-year-old Black child named Juliana Umba Nzita hanging from a tree twice her height outside a Black church she doesn’t attend. The response of local police is mortifying. 1/4
“The vast majority of the talent and agents at our events felt that these were a violation of their privacy and were damaging and spoiling the interactions at the tables. Several expressed concerns that they might not continue to attend in-person events if they were being recorded in secret.”

tRump's strikes against Iran have destroyed the Bonji desalination plant and damaged another on Qeshm Island. Primary drinking water is now cut off for 10k-15k civilians across 20-30 drought villages. Families have no water. Targeting water infrastructure may be a war crime. How do we stop this?
Preventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.
