What do Greta Thunberg, Simone Biles, and the American anti-ICE protesters have in common, besides a flair for theatrics and a knack for setting fire (sometimes literally) to the causes they claim to champion?

The latest chaos gripping California like a leftist would a reusable tote bag containing oat milk and guilt, started at Home Depot in California. Immigration authorities raided one of the chain’s parking lots in Los Angeles, which quickly escalated from “can I help you find a hammer?” to full-blown urban dystopia. The next thing you know, someone’s standing on a flaming car waving a Mexican flag like they just unlocked a Grand Theft Auto achievement. But let’s rewind.

Why Home Depot? Because, according to the Wall Street Journal, the White House instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to target undocumented workers hanging out in those parking lots. Think of them as the gig economy’s open-air waiting room, just like the food delivery platform guys perched outside McDonald’s, only with more drywall experience. They’re trying to land quick jobs from people who’d rather pay under the table than decode a Swedish or Chinese manual to assemble one.

And just like that, the entire progressive apparatus decided this was the next hill to die on. “These are hardworking members of our community!” they cried. “They do the jobs Americans won’t do!”

Hold up. When did defending a labor underclass become progressive chic? Didn’t the left used to rage against this kind of exploitation? Corporate America must be thrilled that the revolution now comes with a free supply of cheap, compliant labor and a hashtag campaign to promote the idea that if you’re against it, then you’re a fascist.

So congrats, leftists. You’ve handed the working class over to the pro-Trump populists like a party favor.
