Celsa examines a ripe WA state cherry after a day of harvesting. This is how her hands look after a full day of hand-picking cherries. She earns $4.50 for a 22 lb bucket or 20 cents a pound. The high temperature in Grandview WA last Saturday was 103°. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

For too long, renters and our lived experiences have been ignored by our elected leaders. I’m proud to be leading the change alongside @HugoForCD13 & @kennethmejiaLA to uplift renters and to realize our own political power 🙌🏼🙌🏼 laist.com/news/housing-homel…

Today my son had a meeting about what to do if someone with a weapon entered his school. One of the areas he would have to “self evacuate” because there is no where safe to hide. He said it scared him. How are we ok with this!!?? Our children are traumatized. I hate us. – at Boulder, CO
