DOGE fired around 280,253 low-level federal employees making, at best, less than $35k a year, only to have the Republican budget bill mandate hiring 100k ICE agents costing $800k each with bonuses, tactical gear, and other infrastructure.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.
