Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, was working at a construction site in coastal Alabama when ICE agents tried to take him to the ground as he yelled, “I’m a citizen!” They held him handcuffed for more than an hour and dismissed his REAL ID as fake. Two weeks later, he wrongfully held by ICE agents again.

Leo stands at the front porch of a newly built home, with his hands in his pockets of his jeans, while looking toward the camera. There is bright orange soil on the ground to prepare for grass to be laid around the new development. Leo has a serious expression on his face.
Leo sits inside a newly built home. He has a reflective expression on his face while glancing out of a window. Fresh green grass and bright orange dirt is seen outside of the window with new homes in the background.
Leo holds his brown leather wallet containing his gov. issued real ID. His ID photograph is visible, in which he has a smile on his face, but the wallet is folded to conceal the portion of his personal information.
Leo sits on wooden steps of his home’s front porch in rural Alabama surrounded by lush green trees and grass. He looks off into the distance with a serious expression and wears slip on shoes with a pair of work shoes on the step in front of him before leaving for work in the morning.

Nike claims they pay workers 1.9 times the local livable wage. Workers’ pay stubs tell a different story. Spend time with this investigation by @robwdavis.bsky.social and the stories of women I photographed in Cambodia, who worked grueling hours — still not earning enough to make ends meet.

You may have seen the stories of Cherise Doyley and Brianna Bennett recently across your TL. Florida judges forced them to undergo C-Sections, despite them refusing. Their right to decide their medical care was stripped when they were made to testify during a court hearing while actively in labor.

“What necessary perspectives do we lose, and what questions go unasked and unanswered, when Black journalists are among the first to be seen as disposable on a masthead?”
