My name is Saray and I have been a farm worker for 22 years in Madera CA. My mother died and I was not able to attend her funeral because I am undocumented. Please pass the #FarmWorkforceModernizationAct so that essential workers like myself can get legal status. #WeAreHome
If you can't find workers because they'd making more on unemployment than at your company, the problem isn't unemployment.
The problem is your poverty wages.
Isela shared a video weeding the vegetable fields in Salinas CA. Workers spend 8 hours a day under the brutal sun, removing unwanted weeds from the crops row by row. When you grill some fresh veggies this summer, remember the skilled work of farm workers like Isela. #WeFeedYou

We are disappointed the @DHSCgovuk's new #StayHomeSaveLives campaign uses negative images of public transport. The long-term social, environmental and economic consequences of demonising #publictransport and reinforcing a car-based recovery will last far longer than the pandemic
The Alphabet Workers Union is concerned by Google’s actions against member Margaret Mitchell. The continued targeting of leaders of the Ethical AI team calls into question Google’s commitment to ethics. Read our full statement: https://t.co/SE2ARLtVby
Models published in year 2000 predicted the warming observed over the last 20 years.
20 years of model development and testing mean that they are even more robust and reliable.
Just imagine if we had started to go net carbon negative 20 years ago based on the science.
Hello! Tonight we are going to teach you about oversaturated markets in the gig economy.
“Instacart hiring 200,000 new workers” is a great PR spin
But the biggest reason gig companies oversaturate markets is because it brings workers’ earnings down.
We could provide everyone with an abundance of everything they need to live a good life, all whilst reducing the workweek significantly: the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.
Call me a radical lefty if you'd like, but I refuse to accept a system that enables Jeff Bezos to grow his wealth by $66,000,000,000 in 5 months — during a pandemic that's left 40,000,000 Americans on the brink of eviction.

It was widely considered “too controversial” to say for YEARS.
It’s wild how quickly people willingly forget that. It just happened.
