It's 6:50am in Oxnard CA. "Leonide" is at the side of a strawberry field ready to start harvesting at 7am. "I earn CA minimum wage. That's not enough for the grueling work I do. The cost of living is very high, but wages are not rising at all. We deserve to earn more." #WeFeedYou

Your Moment of Zen…

Farm workers in Sunnyside WA are getting pumpkins ready for Halloween. They carry the pumpkins to the side of the field so when the tractor comes by them is easier to load it. An average pumpkin weighs 12–15 lbs, but some weigh 50lbs or more. #WeFeedYou

"Maria" is picking grapes in Delano. She is getting paid minimum wage. She works with a partner and between the two of them they make about 95 boxes/day. Temps this day reached 98°. "When picking under the vines, it feels very hot and humid." #WeFeedYou

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

ICE has to be dismantled, with every single incident like this investigated and prosecuted.

The needs of students differ between classrooms and schools and towns. Making schools federally controlled prevents teachers from individualizing educational needs. Think about how district calendars push students onto the next skill without mastery. Elevating that nationwide would do more damage.
