"Adan" sent this from Wapato WA where he's thinning grapevines at a non-union farm. "I earn WA minimum wage. The air quality is terrible now. But we still have to work. The rancher did not provide me with a mask. My phones' weather app says the AQI is
unhealthy at 182." #WeFeedYou

Wapato. A slender stalk of small white blossoms with yellow centres beautifies marsh waters. Surrounded by lily pads and duckweed, the plant’s large pointy leaves appear as though levitating around its dainty flower clusters.
