For decades, our government has violated the rights of people detained at Guantánamo Bay. President Trump’s plan to add a massive immigrant detention camp would have horrific consequences.

Roman shared this video with us from the watermelon harvest in Arizona. An average watermelon weighs 20 lb. These farm workers form a human chain of picking and passing the heavy fruit into the trailer. #WeFeedYou

The Trump administration plans to send its first flight of people to the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, even though lawyers at the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon admit they aren’t sure it’s legal.

Patriarchy says we need stronger men so they can fight for us in wars. Matriarchy asks why we have so many wars.

A WA state farm worker shared this pic w/us from pruning wine grapevines. Temps last week had lows in the 20s. These workers under UFW contract at Chateau Ste Michelle winery share the company takes care of them by having a climate controlled bus w/microwave where they rest & warm up. #WeFeedYou

Lupe shared this photo from yesterday when workers were harvesting strawberries in heavy smoke from the Hughes Fire in Ventura County. The AQI exceeded 150 in some areas. The AQI is lower today, but winds are expected to pick up this afternoon. #WeFeedYou

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Guadalupe's worked in Salinas CA's strawberry for 13 years: I'm putting plastic on strawberry rows. It's hard work to spread & cover the ends with dirt so it stays down. The plastic helps w/weed & pest control & raises the temp which help strawberries ripen earlier. #WeFeedYou

Recent-ish sketches

I missed portfolio day but thought I’d start sharing some of my paintings on here.

Gia shared this pic from where farm workers are harvesting carrots in Santa Maria: We pull and bunch carrots. At the end of the day our hands ache from the repetitive motion. I only earn minimum wage, but I am grateful to be in a crew that has a year-round work. #WeFeedYou

Setting my 2025 Goals a little early. Who can I help heal? Who can I love that thinks they are unlovable? What can I create?

This is how those fresh and fragrant bundled herbs like parsley get to your grocery store. Workers spend 8 hours a day on their knees harvesting this crop that is used in our #Thanksgiving stuffing. #WeFeedYou

I support this.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy. The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up. Don’t give them want they want. Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

youtu.be/6ooboieA_eE?... I’ve been thinking about this scene is Harold and Maude. Good energy to channel for resisting fascism.
