In 1965, Huerta helped organize the United Farm Workers' national grape boycott, which caused grape growers in California to sign a three-year collective bargaining agreement, raised the consciousness of the nation about deplorable working conditions for farm workers, and launched a movement to improve those conditions that continues to this day. Huerta, eighty-six, has been engaged in the struggle for justice for most of her life.
Donald Trump, the Republican Party's presidential nominee, said Thursday night that he had "regret" for choosing the wrong words that have caused "pain" during the 2016 campaign. In an effort to save his flagging presidential candidacy, and two days after shaking up his campaign, Donald Trump expressed "regret" for sometimes saying the wrong thing and causing "pain."
Donald Trump is griping about a New York Times story that portrays him as an uncoachable amateur struggling to compete in electoral politics with a seasoned professional. Advisers who once hoped a Pygmalion-like transformation would refashion a crudely effective political showman into a plausible American president now increasingly concede that Mr. Trump may be beyond coaching.
The Saudi-led coalition admitted children were at the site of the airstrike but jets "don't distinguish ages" during attacks. At least 10 Yemeni children were killed in a Saudi airstrike targeting a school in Haydan, a town in rebel-held Saada province, Doctors Without Borders, a Paris-based relief agency also known as MSF, and the United nations said Sunday.

But it will likely deprive Labour's Corbynsceptics of the myth that has now become mainstream: that Corbyn's victory was the result of "other people", that his opponents lost because of the Greens, etc. My guess, if the freeze date had been overturned, his opponents would have returned to that idea, no matter how big or how small the margin of victory.
When a new Fox News Latino poll showed some dismal results for Donald Trump, Fox's Happening Now show just happened to follow that with "questions" about whether the media has been "beating Trump down in the polls." I guess there were not a lot of ways to sugar coat the poll's findings: Registered Latino voters prefer Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, 66%-20%.

I get garden envy every Sunday, and while I don't have any photos I do have some swamp milkweed seeds I just collected. I'll send some to anyone who trusts me with an address, or to you for distribution.
FOR SOME weeks now, I have felt like a boy who has thrown a stone into a pool. Rings of water created by the splash get larger and larger and expand more and more.
It took seven years of organizing to stop the Keystone XL oil pipeline from being built up-and-down the U.S. - and now a new mega-pipeline "has quietly received full regulatory permission to begin construction," reports Mother Jones.

Team Refugee. "Even as members of Team Refugee win their Olympic heats , the wars that sent them running for their lives and that populated the Refugee Nation continue apace," the authors write.
Many people think choosing politicians by popular vote is an essential part of democracy. Nevertheless, there is another way to choose politicians that is in important regards far more democratic and much better.
Aastrom Biosciences production assistant Mary Cheeramvelil works at "priming" cell cassettes for incubation in the laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Unless women are somehow only 25 percent as creative as men these days, we have a big problem with our so-called "innovation age."
