Ever wonder where the tomato on your #July4th burger comes from? These Central Valley tomato harvesters spend hours bent over under the sun harvesting. On an average they lift around 170 buckets a day. Each bucket weighs 25 lbs. It’s exhausting, physical labor. #WeFeedYou

Trump is making another 911 more likely. His Gaza scheme is inflaming the Middle East. He’s gutting intelligence agencies, prioritizing loyalty over merit. FBI & CIA comms are in chaos. Weak intel means they may not see the threats coming. And w/political retribution as the focus—we’re wide open.
