i just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. so the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
Platner was accused of SA and immediately 90% of progressives called on him to drop out
Cuomo was accused of SA and centrists supported him and threw a hissy fit when Zohran won the nomination, because defending Capital is more important than not electing a sex pest
@Tassili100@DemzDeliver Btw datacenters don’t actually create long term jobs. Data centers only require a few employees to operate. Yes, there will be initial temporary jobs but how is that worth it when electricity prices, pollution, and water consumption all increases
@InurathzzZ@GavinNewsom It’s called late stage capitalism. Billionaires have all the wealth while everyone else gets poorer. How do you not see what’s wrong with this?? We literally have a trillionaire living in the united states and y’all want to give him more money
Starbucks announced it will expand tipping to make it easier for customers to tip baristas across the US. The company is also adding bonuses in stores that meet certain goals.
Except for union baristas.
The coffee giant won't extend these benefits to its unionized stores, as it continues engaging in some of the most egregious and rampant union busting in modern US history.
@SBWorkersUnited says baristas will largely have to rely on customers and management’s discretion for the extra compensation announced Thursday. The union also says it will continue to fight for a contract addressing pay, hours and store staffing.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.
It’s honestly sad how the ruling class have ruined the few systems that allowed people to improve their lives to the point that it doesn’t seem worth it for the underclass to even try.
