These complete morons will not have food if these people do not pick the food.
Gaza is the testing grounds for what life is about to be like in the West. Starvation will be used as a weapon eventually, and who's gonna stop them?
who’s gonna stop them?
I guess we'll be finding out in LA.
I believe the front will be a little Bigger then just LA after a few days.
There are nationwide protests planed on the fascists bday and he already promised to send the military to any form of protest.
I believe the front will be a little Bigger then just LA after a few days.
People have been looking for a place to focus their energy. 6 months of feeling completely on our heals because Democrats chose a strategy of curl up and die.
People are hungry for action, and these kinds of events exponentiate organizing.
I'll believe it when I see it. Police could bomb their own cities with plastic explosives and Americans won't do anything about it.
I wonder how many mid-50s or older Americans are on Lemmy?
Us greybeards are here....
You didn't need to be alive when the MOVE bombing happened in order to know about it.
We used to actually learn about shit like this sometimes in public schools...

Jokes on them I've been dealing with food scarcity for most my life. I forsge more than I shop.
The problem is most don't and it's not a sustainable practice for a large sedentary group.

Maybe they need to get off their obese behinds and get agricultural jobs.
Like some sort of... (I cant even think of the right slur)!?
How dare you suggest that! Im white!
No but see i can just pay more and have food.
They are not paid to think.
The "poors" wont have food. Not once will they ever consider that the poors provide them with their treats and they will wake up one day and be told there are no treats.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s
This at the same time maga is calling for a boycott of walmart. They just keep punching themselves in the face.
Someone posted the other day something like "A stupid person is someone who creates net negative gains. For example, they hurt themselves and others, and gain nothing from it."
Sadistic people like seeing others harmed. They will bear costs to themselves for the sake of seeing others suffer.

Yeah but who got in trouble for hiring them? Did the farm owner run?
It's only a crime to be an exploited worker. It's not a crime to exploit workers.
Well said. Fuck.
It's a crime to be poor. It's not a crime to be rich.
It was never about right or wrong or morals. It has always been about control. 97% of modern politics is to distract from this.
Farm owner likely voted for this.
Owner called up ICE because he heard the word "union"
That's how you know this is all political bull shit. If they actually wanted to solve the "problem" in a much easier, more efficient way, then they would just go after the people that hire them.
We've already seen the ghost of Christmas future here, it's when Georgia implemented their live scan law and all the small and mid size farmers in Georgia lost their whole harvest (and subsequently, the farm) because they just couldn't get Americans to come and pick for what they're willing to pay. A lot of these farmers voted and stumped for Trump, believing that certainly the face eating leopard who eats everyone's face and promises to eat everyone's face wouldn't eat their face. Get ready for a lot of "waaahhh, I didn't think he would hurt meeeeeeee" from these guys as millions of pounds of tomatoes rot on the vine this summer.
Also, this just fucking sucks. I live in the central valley, ag is a really big deal here, and a lot of ag workers are really hard-working stand up folks. Nobody deserves ICE, but these folks especially don't deserve it. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish ICE agents a very merry court date ASAP.
I wish these assholes rapid lead poisoning.
Second to that, a careful and thorough rout of them all, prosecuted heavily and drained of any assets by their victims for violating due process.
Like the scene in Andor. That series was very on point when it comes to the political landscape in the US today.
also like the BOYz.
Babylon 5.
"They're just taking innocent people who are trying to build their own American Dream," said Daniel Larios with the UFW Foundation. "This is not law enforcement. It's a campaign of fear against people whose only 'crime' is living and working in the U.S."

America is about to be really "healthy."
Every day I get news about the gestapo capturing the enemies of the reich and throwing them in box cars, and I hear nothing about citizens doing anything to stop them.
There are protests and people mobbing ice agents and standing in front of the boxcars and stuff. In LA/Paramount there were enough that they shit their pants and called daddy for backup. It’s not really possible for these remote farming communities to have mobs of people overwhelming ice because there just aren’t that many people in the middle of nowhere farms.
If you haven’t heard about any resistance activity I strongly recommend you reconsider how and where you consume media.

I'm ready for the fat fucks in this country to find out what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you. My misanthropic tendencies grow by the day.
That UFW symbol design is going to draw some negative sentiment for the black insignia in a white circle on red flag. Looks like a copy/paste swastika reworked.
White folks who don't understand how words work and vote are going to think ICE are busting field Nazis.
Maybe they could use something centered around farming? Or even better, something highlighting the unity between industrial and agricultural workers?
Yeah, that flag design... Big yikes.
Edit: apparently this is the actual logo; it's hard to find the one that ABC used... Makes me think it was an intentional choice.
terroristic lettuce pickers probably making less than minimum wage…
I’m at a point now where I can’t wait for this all to blow up. Literally and figuratively.
Going after our farm workers is not going to end well for anyone. I can only hope that someone in power will wake up and do something about it.
