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.

If you needed proof Republicans are the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet, welcome to WA 🤷🏻♀️. Only damn Republicans would protest a tax on millionaires

Now that is an insult to idiots!
This alone should have all of Indiana up in arms. For a party and ideology that harps about “Think of the children” all of the time, they surely don’t care when the president is a pedo and how they have never once passed a single law that ever benefited children. Anti-human they all are.
Happy International Women’s Day! In solidarity to all women across the world!
Today is the anniversary of the passing of Lucy Parsons. A founder of the IWW, an anarcho-communist, and a leading figure of the labor movement of her time. Also known for her speeches and writings. Rest in power, Parsons.
An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.
Hoosiers-
Indiana was not part of the confederacy but under republican supermajority, we’ve become a safe haven for racist fascists.
We’ve had a steady MAGA alien invasion over the last decade, as Illinois and other blue states experienced their red exodus.
It’s our turn. #HoosierSky

Stay out of our state couch fucker!
I would also love to know if they follow the 3rd Commandment (Not taking the Lords name in vain) but I highly doubt they do. They love to use Gods name when it comes to worthless crap like this than doing something godly (like feeding the poor and housing the homeless). America, a land of hypocrites
One of our own, what Hoosier thinks this is fine and dandy?
We poor folks don’t have a chance for a better future if we do not organize ourselves. Want a better future? Join the IWW, now more than ever we need people to stand up and fight back!
We are living in very strange times.
This is suspicious…
Trump gutted the anti-trafficking office: fired half the staff, slashed funding, froze grants.
Same man and party that claims to “save the children” while protecting Epstein’s secrets and cutting help for real survivors.
You can’t fight traffickers by helping them.
For a party that claims to be a party based on Christian values it sure loves to have the most morally bankrupt people in America. Shocker!
As of today the federal minimum wage has now been $7.25 for 16 years.
How braindead does one have to be to think nazi and the n-word are anywhere near comparable 😭
Today is international non-binary day! Go out and commit the crime of existing my fellow genderless people.
People in California just died from an ICE attack. Now this. The government has declared war on the people.
First edition cover of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
#ResistanceRoots
Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.
Indiana and St. Nikephoros Phokas share a day together. December 11. Indiana was admitted into the Union December 11, 1816 and Nikephoros Phokas is venerated December 11. Thought this was very cool.
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
Screw this country and every single traitor that voted for the annoying orange. You are all disgusting.
