A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much.
Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
“The reality is when we look back on this, these are the primary sources. These are the people who’ve been impacted by some of the cruelest aspects of this administration.”
So it turns out paying people a living wage doesn’t collapse the economy; it’s almost like the rich have been lying to us to maintain their power over our lives.

The $117 billion tax break Trump handed the 1% is more than federal spending on:
-The Agriculture Department at $89.2 billion
-The Education Department at $46.9 billion
-The Labor Department at $22.7 billion
-The Energy Department at $20 billion
The rich are getting richer by robbing us.

What is it going to take?
Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.
rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know
it’s so cool that the only use case for ai is to distort everyones perception of reality. this needs to be heavily regulated immediately, especially when a government can do this
A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
People want to have their basic needs met.
They want to be paid a living wage.
They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.
They do not want Venezuela.
They do not want Greenland.
They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.
Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.
ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.
There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
WATCH: “How many people with domestic violence convictions are running around, with guns, in our cities, terrorizing people?”

UPDATE: “A US regulator ruled Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI acted illegally by using dozens of methane gas turbines to power huge datacenters in MEMPHIS.”
As the people told @mayorpaulyoung @MemphisChamber — who allowed it to happen.

i like how abolishing ICE is seen by dems as extreme. like, a world without murderous cops is such a fanciful concept.
If we had a proper opposition party they would be clear that there will be consequences for anyone collaborating with this regime.
it actions like this that make people, especially gen z, despise the democratic party. what are we doing here
We are just a few dollars away from hitting $3,000, which put us just $500 away from our final goal. Please share and support as you can.
