People with power be like, "Yelling at me is violence, but you dying of poverty is how the system should work," and I'm real tired of how so much of the press just let's that be the narrative.

Workers pruning apple trees
"Joel" share this photo from where his crew is pruning apples in Grant County WA. "It isn't easy. It takes great skill to prune properly. It's very important to do it right to ensure strong branches with many small nubs that can become flowers & eventually apples." #WeFeedYou
The BART fam is out for the Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco!
In my experience the convo starts with review of your blood tests from the doc, and the doc's observations about that. Then the dietician or nutritionist wants you to log what you're eating and when.
Farm workers under a UFW contract a Gallo vineyards are starting their work day with "la escuelita" where a lead worker demonstrates exactly how the company wants the pruning done. #WeFeedYou
Pretty sure playgrounds still exist!
61 years ago, on a day we now refer to as Bloody Sunday, Black civil rights activists were brutally attacked by state troopers while marching 54 miles across Alabama to fight for the right to vote.
Their bravery in the face of state violence was key in passing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"Raul" is pruning grape vines in Madera. "The work's physically exhausting. I earn 31 cents per plant and must keep a steady pace throughout the day to make enough. The repetitive cutting and bending causes my arms & hands to cramp as I do this work for hours on end." #WeFeedYou
Meanwhile Costco just flinging open warehouse doors to great prices and quality on meat, produce, electronics and hot dogs and people lined up every day of week.
The whole “first royal to be arrested in 400 years” tells ya how shady that operation is. We’re supposed to believe a whole a$$ family line went 400 years without anyone breaking the law? C’mon.
Real hero. Real leader.

A muddy strawberry cart in a row
"Mauricio" shares, "I work in the strawberries. During the month of February, this difficult work became even harder. The mud made everything slow down as we could barely push our carts. Plus hours were cut because of weather and I couldn't earn enough to pay bills." #WeFeedYou
Really appreciate people doing this work. Used to live in date country. It’s intense work. Also dates are delicious! Kudos to people who being them to us.
#BARTMART1 is live!
"Luis" is starting early am vine pruning surrounded by heavy fog in Madera County. "We're paid 31 cents per plant and must move quickly to make a full day’s pay. Cold temperatures and long hours make the work physically tiring. But we continue pruning row after row." #WeFeedYou
"Ana" works in the Kerman, CA area pruning peach trees. She's working a few hours a day earning minimum wage. "This is a hard time of year as there aren't a lot of jobs. I do whatever temporary work I can. The money I earn helps provide for my family." #WeFeedYou
This is great. If you’re in Bay Area be sure to visit Marcus Books. Excellent inventory and friendly vibe!
Mastodon seemed clunky and confusing. I signed up and chose an “instance” but then the person running that instance quit or whatever so then I was supposed to find another one. But I couldn’t figure out how to quit the old one or move or whatever. It was a lot!
A pistachio orchard on a very foggy day
"Mario" is working 8 hours a day pruning pistachios trees for minimum wage. "The harsh weather makes our job extremely difficult. Last week we worked several days in a wet fog. It was 38° when we started at 6:30 am. We finished at 3pm. It was so cold my body ached." #WeFeedYou
Time to start another book. Hope it’s a good one!
It did have a certain level of Danny Devito-ness that Raiders never really managed to attain.
Great vineyards on a rainy day
"Sergio" shares "This is how the fields look after a rainy day. I've been tying grapevines because sprouting season - when vine plants start producing new shoots or sprouts - will soon be here. It's important that the support being placed before this occurs." #WeFeedYou
Sorry if it offends you but this account re-posts Dave Parker content.
We rolled out new fare gate tones today!
The new “chime” tones play when riders hold their fare media (Clipper card, contactless bank card, or mobile payments) on the reader for an additional second and are intended to inform blind and low-vision riders that the fare gate is open to pass through.
He didn’t make a lot of contact but when he did he hit some blasts.
This toad looks kinda ripped.
“newspapers have been in steep decline since the 1980s” yeah who told you to shrink the comics and then deprioritize and ultimately remove the comics
