The jury's verdict delivers accountability for Derek Chauvin, but not justice for George Floyd. Real justice for him and too many others can only happen when we build a nation that fundamentally respects the human dignity of every person.
This morning, there will be a vote on the floor of the U.S. Senate to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. As I’ve said for years, it is time to end starvation wages in this country.
Conservatives have switched focus from homophobia to transphobia since 2015 post-Obergefell. They use the same rhetoric of “scientific” and “religious” reasoning and they do so for no other reason but to hate. Absolutely disgusting. Fuck you Marjorie.
