Thank goodness for Sen. Sanders team. Here’s some resources for federal workers during the shutdown.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 13h

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

Cesar Chavez was a civil rights and labor leader who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association.

We have better pay and working conditions today because of him. #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

just left SCOTUS after defending Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy. It’s simple — no one should be harmed by substandard care. We’ll keep fighting so every Coloradan can live authentically and with pride. #copolitics #lgbtqrights #humanrights #philforgovernor

While in Juneau last month, we hiked a portion of the Perseverance Trail. There were waterfalls and aging abandoned mining remnants. It was neat. #mining #alaska #juneau #perseverancetrail #hiking

Snow crab stocks in Alaska’s Bering Sea, which crashed a few years ago, have recovered enough to allow a modest harvest starting in mid-October. (via @alaskabeacon.com) www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

Gradual improvements in Bering Sea crab stocks allow for Alaska harvest increases

Catch limits are up for snow crab and Bristol Bay king crab, which crashed in recent years, but an abundance of snow-tanner crab hybrids adds a new twist.

Look, I know this is controversial, but I’m on the side of the ones who **aren’t** shooting priests in the head with pepper balls.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
