In 1936, renowned photographer Dorothea Lange captured an image of a homemade housecar used by pea pickers during the Great Depression. The housecar, a mobile living space crafted by the workers themselves, served as both shelter and a means of mobility for those who followed seasonal agricultural work across the country. This photo reflects the resourcefulness and resilience of families who lived on the move, often facing harsh conditions as they sought employment in fields and farms.

The pea pickers, like many others during the Depression, were part of a migrant workforce that moved from place to place in search of work, often living in makeshift homes like the one in Lange’s photograph. These mobile homes were constructed with whatever materials were available, providing basic protection from the elements while families continued their labor-intensive work in the fields. The photograph conveys the tough, nomadic lifestyle that many agricultural workers endured during a time of economic hardship.

Lange’s image not only documents the challenges faced by these workers but also highlights their perseverance and ingenuity. Despite living in such precarious conditions, the pea pickers' homemade housecar represented an effort to maintain dignity and a sense of home while enduring the difficulties of the Great Depression. This powerful photo serves as a testament to the resilience of migrant workers and their ability to adapt to the ever-changing, often uncertain circumstances of their lives.

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information.

The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

BREAKING: MAGA pressure builds but Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde stands strong — refusing to back down after calling Donald Trump out to his face at the National Cathedral stating: "I won't apologize."

She's killing them with kindness and it's driving Republicans insane...

"I don't hate the president, and I pray for him. I don't feel there's a need to apologize for a request for mercy," Budde told NPR's All Things Considered.

"I regret that it was something that has caused the kind of response that it has, in the sense that it actually confirmed the very thing that I was speaking of earlier, which is our tendency to jump to outrage and not speak to one another with respect," she added. "But no, I won't, I won't apologize for what I said."

She voiced similar sentiments on MSNBC—

"We’re in a particularly harsh moment now when it comes to conversations around immigrant populations in our midst," Budde told Rachel Maddow. "And so that was the reason for the … tone I took now, but it could’ve been a very different tone in a different context."

The fact that Trump and his MAGA supporters are so incensed about Budde's sermon says far more about them than it does her. These so-called "Christians" were exposed to a message of love and mercy from a real Christian love and it's breaking their brains.

"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said as Trump sat in the pews.

"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added.

Trump himself responded by attacking Budde as "nasty" and "not compelling or smart" after her moving sermon. This is the man that Evangelicals voted en masse to support. The hypocrisy is enough to churn your stomach.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you proudly stand with Bishop Budde — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

I have been thinking about what protest and resistance should look like in the Trump era and I think I have it figured out.

We need to turn the tables on Right Wing Media and flood their channels with truth relentlessly.

Here is what I mean

"Mr. President, on Martin Luther King Day, during President Trump's Inauguration Ceremony, the richest, most powerful man on earth threw a fervent and unmistakable "S*eg H*il" N*zi salute in the context of "assuring the future of civilization" by electing Trump.

The celebration from neo-N*zi and white supremacist groups around the world was instant and unanimous."
