At 11am it was 49° in Arvin CA. "Raul" shares, "We're leveling out the soil & clearing the bed tops before we begin planting for the lettuce harvest. It's back breaking shovel work that keeps the rows even, so water runs right and the crop doesn’t fail." #WeFeedYou

NYT statement to me: "David Brooks regularly attends events to speak with noted and important business leaders to inform his columns, which is exactly what happened at this 2011 event. Mr. Brooks had no contact with him before or after this single attendance at a widely-attended dinner."

Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.
28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

It's kind of crazy how important school districts are to the underlying economy of a series of small towns, and how in doubling down on homeschooling and charters and all that business, rural types have basically put people in power who are ripping away the most important employer where they live.
Concur. I did enough HS accreditation visits in rural northern New England that I can do the community profile in my sleep. The five biggest employers
The school district
The hospital
The largest supermarket
One mill/plant/factory
One wild card (tourism, a 2nd factory, distro center, rail yard.)

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

If during the Biden administration, masked feds had stormed the campus of a Christian college like Hillsdale to apprehend someone while pointing guns at students and administrators, Republicans would have filed impeachment articles immediately and taken to the streets.
ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.
This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.
