The news today is beyond devastating as Musk takes over our government and shuts down foreign aid. There is no compassion in this, no awareness of how many will be affected in this country and the world.
The Trump administration has also warned more than 1,100 Environmental Protection Agency employees who work on climate change, reducing air pollution, enforcing environmental laws and other programs that they could be fired at any time.
That’s in addition to the insanity of the tariffs.
Meanwhile my local family-owned grocery store Good Earth sends this email which I’m thrilled to honor and respect. I wonder why this isn’t more publicized.
They announce: This is a day without immigrants and products will be limited.
Today, Monday, February 3rd is the Day Without Immigrants, a grassroots organizing movement focused on unifying the voices of immigrants across the country. Today, people throughout the United States are refraining from going to work, attending school, and shopping to help demonstrate the essential impact that immigrants have on our society.
At Good Earth, we recognize that this is an important moment for many of our staff. We support our staff members choice to strike and participate in this day of activism. We also support our staff members who have elected to work today.
We are focused on providing grocery essentials today, however, our product offerings will be very limited in both stores, and all of our food service counters, bakery counters, and cafes will be closed. We ask for your patience with out of stock items and for your support of our staff.
