I running about 2 quarts low on empathy for Trump voting farmers…
So the farms go bankrupt, sell at cut rate prices, then what? Who buys it all?
I apologize for the length, so appreciate you if you’ve managed to read this far! Lastly, I want to point out that Food security = national security With crops rotting, fewer exports, and rising domestic prices, every stakeholder suffers—farmers, rural towns, distributors, retailers, and families.
100% — "Food security = national security” I don’t think people realize how dire things are potentially about to get.
apparently, the point is to destroy the US society, kill off all of us who they aren't, so these insulated idiots no longer need feel judged or shamed
These immigration raids, without balanced labor protections or policy coordination, are undermining our food supply, rural economies, and household budgets. As consumers, taxpayers, and voters, we must demand smarter policies that looks after our nation’s farms—and, by extension, all of us.
Trump would love to destroy California’s economy - and New York’s and any other state, especially if it didn’t vote for him. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT *ANYTHING* OTHER THAN HIMSELF: not the economy, not the ability for people to eat or simply stay alive.

Thank you, didn’t know that was available.
The only Policy in play here is Putin's policy of knee-capping the United States. You are being victimized.. this isn't a policy issue, it is a life or death, survival issue...
I just quoted your thread on my show. Outstanding work! Thanks to @mls0308.bsky.social for pointing this out!
Here's another "Jewel" from the USDA: OF COURSE they want to again run out farmers of color. THAT should be "GREAT" for the food chain and the "economy". www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Thank you. That was a great thread. Excellent info. There are problems for sure.
I hope resisters pass this along beyond Bluesky, too. Many Americans follow now news at all. It's good to drop some truth bombs in our daily lives, too, at every opportunity. Changing the minds of a Faux News viewer is likely impossible, but those folks who follow no news offer an opportunity.
their goal is to take everything we have bsky.app/profile/redl...
I am worried about the children.
They do not care!!! They want to keep us frightened, hungry, desperate, and plyable
I wish @threadreaderapp worked on BlueSky
I’m working on putting it on my Substack 👍🏼
What is that, Pat?
This needs to be written up in a SubStack.
Yep join the resistance because otherwise we are complicit in a fascist takeover
Agree 110% with this👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this excellent informative thread MsGrumpyBunny
Thanks, Trudy 🙏🏼
🥰
Never apologize when you offer good information. Thank you for taking the time.
Along those same lines- we’re going to see an uptick in crime. A lot of people are going to be badly hurt economically and going hungry. Hungry, poor people will do anything to eat.
Yep I grow some of my own food, am vegetarian, bake most of my own bread & sweets. Have long done /now it’s a necessity thanks to the soulless vampires in charge. The only positives are these parasites in power force us to be more self-sufficient, creative + build community resistance together
While I’m not a full vegetarian, I’m a lazy carnivore with a good veg beds garden (salads, TONS of zucchini, yell squash, greenbeens, tomatoes and potatoes)…. We should have a “V” name relating to current situation. but similar to the POWER sound of “Victory” gardens of WWII
Where will you get bread flour?
A store or order online ~ I grow what I can
We are going down!
