It was 94° at 10am in Bakersfield CA as workers cut and packed Asian vegetables into produce boxes. This fast paced work in an open field is grueling as it means a lot of bending and by the end of the day workers tell us their back aches. #WeFeedYou

Trump propaganda ads funded by taxpayers to stop, DHS says
DHS did not directly address the legality of the ads, instead arguing the plaintiffs lacked standing and evidence of injury or harm because they aren’t competing “in the same arena” with Trump.
