Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

I wonder if anyone in the Badminstration, specifically the Department of Agriculture, have thought about all the crops that will go unharvested in the fields starting around August because migrants won't go out to pick them for fear of being deported by ICE.
Can stop you right there.
I feel the global economy won't be too bad off. Likely some collateral damage, but the United States on the other hand...
Thoughts and prayers from Australia
They’re already carving out exceptions for farm workers. Whether those migrants will feel safe enough to come back is another story.
As long as there are children and prisoners, the USA should be fine. /s
No sarcasm necessary. This is exactly the plan.
Exceptions for farm workers only work if they bother to check and verify documents correctly, which they clearly don't.
It won't matter if they rot if there's no one to buy them
The salmonella and campylobacter laced chicken should reduce demand before the fall harvests.
RFK is installing his brainworm parasites into the food supply, so there is lots of reason to be optomistic about supply and demand becoming balanced.
Food poisoning will lead right back to a toilet paper shortage. Never mind that the US is net exporter of TP.
Those cunts only care about lining their pockets. They sold us out to the blyats for the promise of making money.
I heard it's hard for many Americans to find jobs, so I guess trump fixed two problems with one action: deported a bunch of people whom he doesn't like, and opened up job opportunities for Americans. Win/win, innit?
