Found #antique album that belonged to my great grandma with #photos of my grandpas side of the family. I know she was poor and had no education, but it looks like her great aunt liked #books? I want to know what book she’s holding there and about this mans uniform. #texashistory

When we doubled our minimum wage to $70k, the rate of staff having babies and buying houses both grew 10x. All of a sudden people could afford to have families.

To our senators who say they're pro-family: There's nothing more pro-family than a higher minimum wage.

Freeze their assets, take away their free health care and have them survive on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. $15 will be passed by the end of the first pay period.

@FAMMFoundation @VICE This is cruel and unusual punishment. Our prisons are second to Nazi concentration camps.

@bidensvictim @Forbes 30.7 small business in the US compared to just over 500 Costco stores. I think there’s way more of a chance people will spend money at small business and with the new spending everything would even out. We’d see relatively no change or need to raise prices.

@bergerbell Teachers children should get free college. My mom couldn’t afford to put any of her three kids through college as a single mother working as a teacher for 40 years. Pretty sad.

In other contexts, and particularly other social strata, we understand and honor this. It's only with the poor that we don't. I love this point and story by @povertyscholar:
