Les nouveaux «gamers» de la guerre

«#HungerGames», réalité virtualisée et casino géopolitique… Entre l’ultraviolence sadique à #Gaza, la déréalisation de la mort venue du ciel et les paris douteux de la présidence Trump, le jeu contemporain de la guerre ressemble moins à une stratégie qu’à une ignominie.

#LaborDay: Children at Work

"Muckraking journalists and photographers were some of the most helpful in exposing the conditions in which children worked. Among the most famous was #LewisHine, photographer for the National #ChildLabor Committee."

"Today’s post comes from Megan Huang, an intern in the National Archives History Office.

"The Federal holiday Labor Day honors the American worker. When considering the accomplishments and contributions of the our workers throughout history, one category—the child laborer—doesn’t always come to mind. However, child labor was a significant part of the American labor story."

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace #Migrant #Farmworkers With #HighSchoolers

Excerpt: "He remembers the first day vividly. Work started before dawn, the better to avoid the unforgiving desert sun to come. 'The wind is in your hair, and you don't think it's bad,' Carter says. 'Then you go out in the field, and the first ray of sun comes over the horizon. The first ray. Everyone looked at each other, and said, 'What did we do?' The thermometer went up like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. By 9 a.m., it was 110 degrees.'

"Garden gloves that the farmers gave the students to help them harvest lasted only four hours, because the cantaloupe's fine hairs made grabbing them feel like 'picking up sandpaper.' They got paid minimum wage — $1.40 an hour back then — plus 5 cents for every crate filled with about 30 to 36 fruits. Breakfast was 'out of the Navy,' Carter says — beans and eggs and bologna sandwiches that literally toasted in the heat, even in the shade.

"The University High crew worked six days a week, with Sundays off, and they were not allowed to return home during their stint. The farmers sheltered them in 'any kind of defunct housing,' according to Carter — old Army barracks, rooms made from discarded wood, and even buildings used to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II.

"Problems arose immediately for the #ATEAM nationwide. In California's #SalinasValley, 200 teenagers from #NewMexico, #Kansas and #Wyoming quit after just two weeks on the job. 'We worked three days and all of us are broke,' the Associated Press quoted one teen as saying. Students elsewhere staged strikes. At the end, the A-TEAM was considered a giant failure and was never tried again." [Until today, apparently...]

#Trump’s Immigration #Crackdown Hits #CaliforniaFarms

#Farmworkers hid in fields on Tuesday as word spread that ICE agents were conducting raids in California’s breadbasket, an activist said.

Excerpt: " 'The #Trump administration is ramping up its immigration crackdown, with a focus on workplaces with undocumented #laborers, such as #farms, #restaurants and #construction sites. Estimates show more than eight million undocumented #immigrants work in the United States.

"Last Friday, federal immigration agents swept through the garment district of Los Angeles, setting off protests that have rattled sections of downtown L.A. and have spread to a number of cities across the country.

"For #farmworkers — about 42 percent of whom are undocumented, according to the Agriculture Department — the escalation in arrests has created widespread fear.

" 'Children are terrified,' Ms. Romero said. 'They don’t want to go to school because they don’t know if their parents will be home when they come back.'

"Local leaders have rebuked the escalation, which could bring hardship to one of California’s agricultural corridors. The #CentralValley — which grows #almonds, #grapes, #walnuts and #cherries, among other crops — produces a quarter of the nation’s food, worth an estimated $17 billion a year, according to federal data.

" 'These actions are completely unjustified and harmful,' said Mayor Luis McArthur of Oxnard. 'They create chaos in our city without contributing much to public safety. Furthermore these actions undermine the very principles of #DueProcess.'

"The raids this week represent the first organized immigration enforcement from the new Trump administration to hit California’s agricultural region, which covers about 40 percent of the state, Ms. Romero said. A handful of federal operations have been conducted in other rural communities in recent weeks. Last month, federal agents pulled over a bus in #AlbionN., and detained 14 immigrants who worked at a nearby farm. In April, three children and their mother were detained at an upstate New York dairy.

"Rural migrants are particularly vulnerable to immigration enforcement because they stand out in towns that are often racially homogenous, said Will Lambek of Migrant Justice, an advocacy organization for farmworkers in #Vermont, where eight dairy workers were detained in April.

"In California, Ms. Davalos said the agents could have made more arrests had the community been less prepared. Once a volunteer spotted officers in the area, an alert was sent through a network of support.

"Federal agents were denied entry to at least nine farms in the Central Coast, Ms. Davalos said. Some growers parked their vehicles in front of their gates. Employees also obscured their cars.
'We demonstrated the power of brave, nonviolent #resistance to #ICE’s tactics of #terror,' Ms. Davalos said, lamenting what she described as politically driven attempts to reach a deportation quota. 'At the end of the day, they’re seizing our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.'

"If federal immigration enforcement activities continue, #FoodProduction will become increasingly difficult, and food prices could rise, warned Bryan Little, senior director of policy advocacy at the California Farm Bureau."

#Gaza Yet more reports of IDF soldiers shooting at, killing and wounding people looking for food at Nitzarim Corridor. Things are just getting worse and worse and worse and Western governments and elites (it is them) sit by, do nothing, send more weapons, watch, ridicule the “selfie yacht”. It is the most disgusting horrific real life #HungerGames

A little over a year ago I wrote a #Wikipedia article about the "Goose and the Common", an 18th century poem about the privatization of #commons land during the enclosures in England:

My partner just started reading "Sunrise on the Reaping", the second prequel to the #HungerGames trilogy, which quotes the poem. Page views jumped up 3X when the book was published in March, and are still greatly elevated. So I guess the internet is not fully dead yet :)

Hello sweet Friendos 💜

I've recently started using this account more, as my first Friendica account was rather unstable.

I want to use this account to boost my own toots from my several Fedi accounts. But... I also want to boost toots that I find interesting. Not "just" the toots that everyone seems to boost. But also the toots that usually would "just" get a like from me.

I have tried to find the people I interact most with on my other accounts. But, I'd like to find more interesting people to follow and, when I like their posts/toots, boost them. 😊

Looking for people that I share interests in. I'll list, in no apparent order, just how my brain comes up with them, some hashtag of things that interest me...

#Labrador / #DogsOfMastodon / #BurgersZoo
#ActuallyADHD / #ActuallyAutistic / #ActuallyAuDHD
#Gaming / #Playstation / #ShareYourGames
#Fitness / #MentalHealth / #Fibromyalgia / #Spoonie
#Music / #Roxette / #Vinyl
#TV / #DowntonAbbey / #SciFi / #Crime
#Photography / #SilentSunday / #Nature / #AmateurPhotography
#Reading / #Discworld / #HungerGames

These aren't all my interests, but they are a few to give an idea... Looking for people to follow, connect with, to like & boost.

I have limited spoons. I am Dutch and know some decent English, and a wee bit of German. I don't interact with toots that require translating all the time, as that takes more spoons, unfortunately. And I don't boost posts/toots that lack alt texts! So just a heads up about that. 😊

Fankoos 🫶🏻 for getting to the end of this post. Looking forward to connect with new folks.

🧚🏼‍♀️ 🍀 💜 🐾
