Over a year ago, farm workers across Southern California endured weeks of illegal, racist raids. UFW, on behalf of farm workers, fought back. From downtown LA to the fields of Oxnard and Coachella, this ruling will help defend the rights of every worker. 1/

Trump's performance tonight in North Carolina is a disgrace and the crowd isn't into it at all, but you could've said the same thing about innumerable rallies of his in 2024 and then 77 million Americans voted for him anyway. I hope we're smarter now!
