Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Zero fucking self awareness- cloaking himself with Christianity he thinks people should forget he is a sexual predator……
Deshaun Watson has completed only one pass over ten air yards in two games, btw.
Full back-and-forth with Browns QB Deshaun Watson as he was asked about getting booed in his first game back at Huntington Bank Field after he ruptured his Achilles back in 2023.
"It has nothing to do about the performance. It's a little more personal than that so, that's a disrespectful thing."

"Juan" works in WAs apple thinning. "We use our nails to take the apples off, leaving one apple at a certain distance from the other. This allows them to grow big. Because of the heat many days we only get to work 6 hrs. At min wage it isn't enough to support a family." #WeFeedYou

"Fidel" says, "We've started harvesting Gala apples in Prosser WA. We are only paid $35 per 900lb bin. With the crop being slow at the beginning of the season it is difficult to even make minimum wage. I hope that one day we will have a law that protects our rights." #WeFeedYou
