the game literally calls the “coming horde.” This is not some random MAGA website or parody. It is official White House messaging on a .gov website, turning immigration enforcement and the detention of human beings into a game.

I've never seen anything like this. The Trump admin just granted preliminary approval of a federal bank charter to the family's crypto firm World Liberty Financial. Remember: Trump raked in almost $800 million from WLF last year. No president has used their power to profit the way Trump has.

flowerinspanish We owe them everything, with everything going on AND the extreme heat, they continue to show up so that we don't experience food shortages..... are we showing up for them?
Well I'm here to tell you that you can,
@celebrationnationorg makes it really easy to give back by donating to sponsor a sombrero for a farmworker. For $12 you can literally save a life from heat illness or worse.
Would you put yourself in their shoes? The heat, the pesticides, the dust, the sweat, the lack of worker rights and protections while getting paid the lowest wages in the country? Giving back is like tipping your server, so why not to the farmworker sacrificing their life so that you can enjoy your meal in air conditioned buildings?
Today you can make a difference. You can donate, volunteer, or share. It's up to you.
If you've ever eaten from the labor of these hard workers you owe them a thank you. You can always stop by a field and offer some water or even an old sports hat. You can tell your children where their food comes from.
Anything. They are grateful that you see them. Thank you farmworkers for feeding me. Thank you farmworkers for feeding family and friends and everyone reading this.
I will continue using my voice to amplify their contributions, their sacrifices, and the dignity they deserve, while serving them in any and every way. #protectfarmworkers #heatwaves #CelebrationNation #sombrerosforthosethatfeedus
