Burns' six-part documentary uses voiceover, reenactors and drone footage to tell the story of America's founding. And it reminds viewers that the quest for a more perfect union is far from over.

TIL that AOC's website has a "Know Your Rights" page for her immigrant constituents, where she recommends that they fill out a DHS Privacy Release form so her office can intervene for them.
I wrote to @mccollum.house.gov suggesting she do the same.

#OnThisDay, Oct 18, 1970, 2,000 marched in East Harlem for Julio Roldán, a Young Lords member found dead in The Tombs under suspicious circumstances. The funeral became a protest against systemic injustice, culminating in the occupation of the “People’s Church” to demand justice.
