Congress Might Give ICE the Power to Go After Shoplifters
A bill intended to halt the supposed threat of “organized retail crime” would put ICE in charge of the federal response.
by Sam Biddle
August 7 2026, 7:17 a.m. ET"To counter the purported national scourge of 'organized retail crime,' a bill moving through Congress would deliver the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented policing powers, granting even more authority to what experts say is an already lawless ICE."

#US - #Farmers sound alarm as rare weather phenomenon threatens staple crops: 'It's an all-hands-on-deck deal'
Story by Leslie Sattler, February 4, 2026
"A brutal freeze gripped Florida over the weekend. It forced fruit and berry growers into all-night efforts to save their harvests from frost damage, reported AccuWeather.
What's happening?
"Temperatures fell to the 20s and 30s across the central and southern portions of the state. At those temperatures, crops can suffer harm within a short window.
"Growers ran water over their fields after dark. Though it sounds backward, spraying crops with water actually protects them. Ice forming on plants releases small amounts of heat, keeping the fruit warmer than the surrounding air.
" 'It's an all-hands-on-deck deal,' said Matt Joyner, CEO of Florida Citrus Mutual. 'Family gets recruited. Everybody gets recruited to go out and help in preparation.'
"Joyner noted that growers haven't faced cold this severe since 2010.
"Plant City orange grower Trevor Murphy said his trees sat in sub-28-degree air for six-plus hours on back-to-back nights. He's already spotting damage and believes many of the young trees he planted this winter won't survive.
" 'Coldest and longest duration of cold I've had since I've been growing oranges,' Murphy told AccuWeather.
"AccuWeather projects that 8% to 10% of unharvested oranges may be ruined. Another cold stretch looms this weekend."

#India - Farmers devastated after 80% of key crops are wiped out — here's what happened
Story by Tina Deines, February 4, 2026
"#TomatoFarmers in one region in India are struggling after their crops were hit hard by #pests and #climatic factors.
What's happening?
"The Pioneer reported on the challenging growing season for farmers around the town of #Gaulapar in northern India, an area that is known for tomato production. According to growers there, about 80% of their cultivated tomatoes have been damaged by pests.
"The publication also lists '#ClimaticFactors' as a challenge for tomato farmers. For one, young tomato plants suffered damage in the initial phase of cultivation due to #HighTemperatures during the planting season.
Why is this crop damage concerning?
"According to the publication, the drop in tomato yields has led to surging prices at the market, affecting consumers. While some farmers are benefitting from higher prices, most are suffering due to the crop damage they've endured.
"This is yet the latest example of the struggles facing food producers worldwide and the cascading impacts they have on consumers.
"One recent study tied recent dramatic price increases in staple foods to rising global temperatures, which are leading to prolonged droughts, more severe heat waves, unpredictable precipitation patterns, and other severe weather. For instance, #Malaysians are facing soaring prices at the supermarket after a heavy #monsoon season wiped out a number of local #crops."

Ummm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants
A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.
By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025
Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'
"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.
"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.
"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'
"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

“Nothing appears more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.” - #DavidHume

10 #Foods Becoming Massively More Expensive Due to #ClimateChange
by Apeksha Bhateja | July 5, 2023
"Climate change is touching every aspect of human life. It may not be responsible for every disaster, but climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense. Turbulence is getting worse. Cities are sinking. Droughts and floods are forcing people to flee their homes. What else? Food, of course.
Although food prices are affected by many factors—economics of the country, supply-chain, inflation, oil prices, wars and conflicts—climate plays a major role in production and it has started to sting. More than 345 million people face severe food insecurity in 2023 and crop failures due to floods, droughts, and other extreme weather events are making things worse.
