Good thread on how the government’s H2A program turned migrant farmworkers into little more than trafficked slaves, the 2024 reforms that mitigated the abuse, and last year’s Trump directive(see below) that stripped away those reforms. cdmigrante.org/trump-dol-ro...

Mychal sits & shares that Ms. Rachel posted, “Black boys deserve to grow up.” This is not controversial, it is hope. Black library kids deserve to grow up to become Black library grown-ups. Black boys deserve to live in a world where that has not always felt true. Black boys deserve joy ✨

I've been seeing a lot of people responding to this with "there ought to be a law," but importantly, we haven't needed a law for this sort of thing because no prior president wanted to be known as a leader who would literally kill people in their hour of need for not voting for him
