"Julia" is very pleased she harvest mushrooms under a UFW contract. "We have a positive work environment where we can speak up and the company listens to us respectfully. And we get great benefits like a medical plan and a pension plan." #WeFeedYou

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Trump and Republicans got rid of the CFPB’s rule to cap overdraft fees at $5.

Now, big banks are taking even more money from struggling Americans to pad their own bottom lines.

Trump isn’t looking out for you – he’s looking out for Wall Street.

"Ian" is pruning grapevines in Fresno CA. "I earn $45/row. It takes me 4 hrs to prune it. It's hard on my body. My neck hurts from looking up, my arms hurt from the heavy shears & my legs ache from trudging through the mud. We can't meet expenses at this time of year." #WeFeedYou

Is there a reason bank statements can’t just be monthly? Like day 1 of month to day 30 or whatever. This feels like just another way the financial industry is fucking us over.

“Is it just a show of force or is the US preparing for war”

The ledes from @NPR ‘s Up First are fucking something 1 year into the Trump presidency.

the economy: does this need to be a side hustle or can I just do it for joy

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Everyone repeat after me: no one’s vote should have more power than anyone else’s. No matter where you live or how much fucking money you have. It’s not that hard.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Workers are harvesting grapes in Delano CA. The season will soon be ending and they are trying to get in as many hours as they can. #WeFeedYou

[taxthedragons @ErinLodes]

It is un-American to have people sleeping on the street. If we are the “best” then why do we have children, families, veterans, ANYONE, sleeping on the street? Tax the rich jfc what are we DOING?
