"Raul" harvests tomatoes at Gargiulo and is excited about his new 3 year UFW contract. He'll earn $0.90 per 25lb bucket for first-pick round tomatoes, a 4-cent increase from last season. Based on average production he might earn around $1.50 more per hour. #WeFeedYou

Workers in Livingston are cutting the sweet potato seedlings they have just grown into bunches so they can be transplanted. They fill up carts with up to 25lbs of the young plant. To do this work they have to be crouched over for hours under the hot sun. #WeFeedYou

"Elia" says, "The strawberry harvest has slowed down significantly here in Oxnard. At the end of this month, I will head to Salinas where I will also harvest strawberries. The company I work at hasn't given us a raise in two years." #WeFeedYou

"Teresa" has been working in Salinas, CAs fields for 20 years. "Right now, I am weeding - removing the grass from the romaine lettuce fields. It is tiring work. Not only do we need to bend over to weed it but we need to carry it out of the field and it is very heavy." #WeFeedYou

Many of us are enjoying #MemorialDay with family at picnics and barbecues, but many farm workers are laboring hard to put food on our tables. Let's give a big shout out to these hard-working people. #WeFeedYou

⚠️ DO NOT PLACE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES IN TRASH OR RECYCLING. A recent garbage truck fire in Roseville started when a lithium-ion battery was compacted during collection. Incidents like this are a reminder: batteries do NOT belong in curbside bins. Read the full story:

The broccoli has been harvested in this field so "Salvador" is in the field gathering the irrigation pipes used to water the crop. After this they will can clear out what is left of the broccoli and plant a new crop of vegetables. #WeFeedYou

So you White Regressives can stop lying on Jasmine Crockett.

Millions of people learned the language of power, oppression, and social justice online. So why has so little changed at the institutional level? @angryblacklady.blacksky.app and @blairimani.bsky.social discuss:

"Julio" shares that he and his coworkers drive tractors in the strawberry fields on CA Central Coast. "Part of our job is cultivating the soil, removing weeds, applying fertilizer, and maintaining the rows so the plants grow strong and produce better." # WeFeedYou

It was 87° in Arvin CA this day as farm workers we're laboring doing pre-harvest work of staking young chili plants to prevent them from falling over or having stem breakage due to high winds. #WeFeedYou

And let’s be honest. Even if AOC did run, white people aren’t going to vote for her. We know this because white people have an unbroken trend of voting for the most high profile bigot in national elections since Eisenhower. White people *always* vote for racist white men. Always.

All this is to say it’s better to just ignore white people trying to get sanctimonious about the possibly of AOC as a candidate. Until they deal with the rot in their own communities that enthusiastically supported a racist pedophile to be president twice, there is nothing to talk about.

The cherry season is happening in firebaugh CA. A group of workers wait—ladders in hand—to begin working .The issue is they are given a time to arrive and then often have to wait a long time to actually start working. They tell us don't get paid for that time. #WeFeedYou

"Jesus" shares. "I have been working in agriculture in Salinas CA for 15 years, operating a tractor. Right now, I am removing the irrigation hose after harvesting lettuce hearts. I have to be careful because it gets tangled easily, which is dangerous." #WeFeedYou

Farm workers were denied a preliminary injunction against Trump’s illegal wage cut rule. Farm workers will continue fighting these wage cuts as the lawsuit proceeds and continue organizing for fair wages. Read the news release here: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

I invited Blair Imani on the podcast to stress test a theory I’ve been obsessing over and hot damn did she come prepared. We talked about online political education, algorithms, persuasion, and whether any of this actually changes institutions. New B*tch, Listen out wherever you get your podcasts.

"Alex" shared this pic from where he's harvesting blueberries in Delano CA. "We make minimum wage and make a $6 bonus if we harvest more than 11 boxes. However there's not a lot of berries, so we struggle to make even the 11 required boxes." #WeFeedYou

There will be repercussions for the 300k Black women who lost their jobs and the high-ranking Black military personnel; they will go on to become city council members, governors, senators, and other positions strategizing power. I don't think they realize what they have set in motion……

The people who care for us deserve a governor who cares for them. Let's win this together. Vote for Xavier Becerra for Governor by June 2nd.

👇🏾

Grateful to have SEIU-USWW president David Huerta and their members in our corner. David represents the best of our nation’s labor movement. Let's go win this together. Vote for Xavier Becerra for Governor by June 2nd.

This is extra going to piss off the orange demon and his MAGAts. 🗣️Spread it far and wide!

California voters — your ballot is here. Fill it out and return it before June 2nd. Housing, affordability, the California we leave our kids — it's all on the ballot. Let's do this.

A crew in Mettler CA de-leafs a first year grape vineyard. While most first year grape plants do not yield market quality fruit, getting rid of unwanted growth helped the plant develop faster and stronger for future years. #WeFeedYou

Heads up #StayReadyCrew

"Maria" works in Arvin CA area. "The work I'm doing in the grapes is hard because we have to do three jobs at the same time. We earn minimum wage. I have to push herself to the limit to support my family." #WeFeedYou

California is lucky to have someone as experienced & highly qualified as Xavier Becerra for its next governor. State legislature, state AG, US Congress, HHS Secretary! Becerra understands how to get things done. We know because he’s done it. CALIFORNIA, MARK YOUR BALLOT FOR BECERRA & VOTE TODAY!

Stop asking Black people to fix problems we didn’t create and are incapable of solving. We’re 13% of the population.

#BecerraForGovernor in Sacramento tonight! Any of our Sac friends attending? #BecerraEra

"Julio" share this video from Madera CA. "We're covering mandarin trees to help stop pests from eating/damaging the crop. This also protects the crop from direct sun. I have a UFW contract and earn $17.89/hour vs min wage. My contract also gives me job protections." #WeFeedYou

No more debates. Becerra was again the clear winner and is the front runner. Low polling Dems need to stop and consolidate support with Becerra.

The most important issue in the nation is the federal government’s attack on Black women in power. Today the FBI raided Virginia Sen president pro-tem Louise Lucas, continuing the political genocide against Black political power. All large platforms dems should be covering this.
