The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (2015) authorized the creation of the Cyber Crimes Center within ICE, enabling wiretaps and internet surveillance. Between 2014 and 2018, DHS funneled over $3 million to local police for license plate readers to combat trafficking — now used in broader workp…

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

I have nothing against my boss, but when they make critical decisions that affect my day-to-day life at work and I don't have any real influence over what shapes my workday, I like them less.
I'm not saying life is perfect, but syndicalism has taught me that we don't need rigid hierarchies to run a workplace democratically, by the workers, for the workers, and for their own benefit.
If run democratically, I can shape my own workday and workweek together with my cowork…
