Just a reminder that America has always been fascist. It’s just now becoming fascist for white people, which is why more people are protesting. For people of color, as well as disabled people of color, this country has always been fascist. This is nothing new.
My project manager came into my office this morning to tell me she’s stepping down to become a stay-at-home mom.
She makes $68,000 a year.
Her husband earns $72,000.
They just had their second child, so she called licensed local daycare centers to get quotes for an infant and a toddler.
Average cost: $2,650 a month. That’s $31,800 every year straight out of their post-tax income.
After federal taxes, state taxes, and healthcare deductions, her take-home pay was roughly $3,700 a month.
After paying $2,650 for daycare, she was working 40 hours a week to net $1,050 a month…..or about $6.50 an hour.
She looked at me and said: "I’m literally spending 160 hours a month away from my kids just to clear $250 a week after childcare costs."
We didn't just build an expensive economy.
We built a system where holding down a mid-class job as a second earner costs more than staying home.
I’m sorry but what is the purpose of the UN if Netanyahu is allowed to speak at the general assembly while there is an arrest warrant out for him? Everything is a farce
I know you may fear sharing this post in fear of losing your job, but Palestine can't afford your silence
The Mohegan Tribe has owned the Connecticut Sun since 2003. They were the first non-NBA owners in the WNBA and the first to make profit
A look at what the Sun has meant to members of the Mohegan Tribe + why it was always "more than a home team":

The Tribe never should have had to choose between spending 100 million on a practice facility at the expense of supporting other tribal needs. The league should have supported them the way the Mohegan tribe supported the league for so many years.
Of all the things I hate about what's happening this week, I hate it for the Mohegan Tribe the most. They believed in WBB when no one else did and when they were outgrown they tried to do right by fans and keep the team local.
So that you do not forget: less than a year ago, more than 6,000 Sudanese civilians were killed in Alfashir in less than a single day. The bloodshed could be seen from satellites and even from outer space, carried out by the UAE-backed militia mercenaries.
YOU ARE FUCKING NAIVE IF YOU BELIVE THE PERSON WHO IS BUILDING A MILITARY INSTALLATION AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH SNIPERS AND A BUNKER IS GOING TO LEAVE VOLUNTARILY 🙄
I just have to reiterate one more time. The WNBA Instagram account did not post a single clip of the Mystics/Fever game yesterday. NOT ONE CLIP!!! Do yall know how crazy that is? How can bias be denied??
He can’t even verbally respond. They’re carting around a human vegetable trying to pretend that he’s perfectly functioning. How is this legal and how is the state of Kentucky not demanding for him to be removed from office so they can have an actual competent senator representing them?
Money isn't real. We invented it. Which means everything ever done in this world could have been done without money. And there is no need for ANYONE to starve or be unhoused or lose everything they worked for to medical debt. Think about that. It's all make-believe.
