Reminder of who the real threat was, and who the threat has never been.

"Raul" is working in the sweet potatoes in Merced County. "It’s very tiring. I need to be up at 2:30am to get to work at 3:30. My wife & I leave our kids with a babysitter and rushed to the fields. But it's important we do the work as it feeds our family." #WeFeedYou

No Kings in my deeply red WV district. Honks of support outweighed middle fingers by 10:1 which gives me hope.

#OnThisDay in 1849, Edgar Allan Poe passed away under mysterious circumstances. Of all the artists who gave life to Poe's macabre tales over the years, perhaps none captured them quite so brilliantly as the Irish artist Harry Clarke: publicdomainreview.org/collection/h... #OTD #EdgarAllanPoe

Historically, SCOTUS has been known for its formal briefs, oral arguments and detailed written opinions, all full of legal reasoning. However, every action SCOTUS has taken in Trump-related cases this year has instead been through its emergency — or “shadow” — docket, and federal judges are fed up.

Jesus. Pam Bondi just purported to replace the DC police chief and revoke guidance from earlier today that instructed police to continue to comply with DC’s sanctuary laws — laws duly passed by our city council, elected by our voters.
Even more radical than we’d feared.

The federal government is giving ICE direct access to all of our Medicaid data with incredibly thin protections — all to facilitate their cruel anti-immigrant agenda.
We cannot let President Trump's mass deportation campaign take precedent over our privacy and health care.
