They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

Your regular reminder that since August of last year, Mr. Abrego has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica, but the Trump admin refuses to do so because they want to instead punish him by sending him to an African country that will most likely detain and then deport him to El Salvador for the admin.

A photo of a farm worker in the field with her hands making a heart with a Valentine's Day frame with little hearts around it and the words over the photo love the hands that feed us. Protect farm workers.

The Trump administration’s attacks on H-2A wage protections make it harder than ever for farm workers to earn fair pay. This #ValentinesDay, remember: Love means justice. Love means protection. Stand with farmworkers. Show love to the hands that feed us. ❀️#WeFeedYou

English-only California: the golden state with Spanish place names removed. First map I ever commissioned, to commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, whereby the US made Mexico give up its northern half, adding California and the Southwest to the Union.

You, Disappearing <p>The apocalypse was quiet. It had a way about it, a certain charm. It could be called graceful. It was taking a long time.</p>

We did a close reading of Alexandra Kleeman’s You, Disappearing and damn what a short story

The effect of Israel’s total siege on Gaza has become catastrophic, doctors say. Shortages of food, water and medicine are prompting a surge of preventable illnesses, and deaths. nyti.ms/3GzOJV1
