Federal law still allows children to work long hours in dangerous farm conditions, protections far weaker than in any other industry. Children in farmworker communities deserve the same safety standards as every other child.

Thanks to Rachel Maddow for covering the Remove the Regime event taking place this week. Tomorrow’s schedule begins at 10:00 a.m. with a rally at Flare, followed by what organizers anticipate will be record-breaking direct lobbying for impeachment and removal.

In the classical era, forbearance was a central heroic quality.
It was not equivalent with retreat. It was not equivalent to cowardice - as it seems to be in some minds now.

“Even if the measure passes through the House and Senate and is signed into law, it's unlikely the Justice Dept would release the entire Epstein file. Any materials related to ongoing investigations or WH claims of executive privilege will likely remain out of public view.”

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them!
The only reason the house was voting was because he refused.
This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

The Epstein files bring into sharper focus the fact that the central conflict now is everyday Americans against the elite.

The Joffrey’s Nutcracker is all about the contributions of immigrants to building Chicago. Considering about a third of the company is South/Central American born, this year it will have LEVELS.
I’ve seen Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker a few times, but none as beautiful as the performance by the Joffrey Ballet. And setting it at the 1893 Chicago’s World Fair made the history buff in me even more delighted. Photos by Cheryl Mann. #joffreyballet #Tchaikovsky
