The crew is safe, but βthere is oil in the water coming from a cargo tank which could have some environmental impact,β it said, and the vessel has taken on water.

Accessibility is not a "trend." And it's telling that the Times frames an issue of equity as "gaming the system."
Itβs never that we are better at diagnosing various developmental disorders and catching them earlier in life than ever before. Itβs always some nefarious sinister bullshit.

These farm workers are preparing for the strawberry harvest. They're weeding & removing the runners (leafless stems) that can steal nutrients from the plants. This step will also make it easier for workers to move efficiently and harvest more during the harvest season. #WeFeedYou

A worker pruning peach trees
"Joe" said this pic was from where he was pruning peach trees in Orosi, CA in December. "Temps were around 45Β° and the cold felt unbearable. I was climbing up and down a 8-foot ladder bundled up in my jacket and thick gloves. I did this work to feed my family." #WeFeedYou
Worker in a great field that is being pruned
"Juan" is pruning grape vines in Fresno County. "After we finish our row, we go back to pick up any branches and do a quick clean up. The branches for these grape vines are cut completely off as these are the ones that will be machine picked. We earn 24 cents/vine." #WeFeedYou

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas GonzΓ‘lez in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
