Another great reprint, this one from North by Northwestern's Shaunacy Ferro:

"This is not a question of whether Catholics want to use birth control. They do. And though I’m a huge proponent of religious freedom, I couldn’t give two sh*ts about how this mandate might play into that particular fight.

This is a question of who has the right to debate what goes on in my uterus."

One of this week's reprints, from Henry Taksier at The Fine Print:

"Florida provides 45 percent of all tomatoes purchased in the United States, and from October to June, the rate skyrockets to over 90 percent. The fields surrounding Immokalee make up the epicenter of Florida’s tomato industry, and every growing season, Immokalee’s population temporarily doubles, flooded with migrant workers who rely on income from picking tomatoes.

In Immokalee, the systematic lack of legal protection leaves thousands of workers vulnerable to slavery, physical assault, child labor, and sexual harassment."

Every growing season, a Florida community’s population temporarily doubles, flooded with migrant workers who rely on income from picking tomatoes.
