A full-time job should pay enough for rent, lights, groceries, a car payment, and have some left over for savings.

This includes the cashier at Walmart and the cook at McDonalds.

That’s not a radical idea.

This week: 19 people killed & scores injured in a strike in a “humanitarian zone” in Gaza.

An American shot in the head in the West Bank.

Now, another school bombed, killing 14 people, including 6 UN aid workers.

Enough is enough. No more money for Netanyahu's war machine.

I don't think the tech bros pushing AI realize that creativity is humanity's true coping mechanism, not consumption.

Walz mentions that he’s the first union member on a presidential ticket since Reagan (who was SAG president before he was a scab president). Before Walz, Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat on a ticket who didn’t attend law school.

A welcome change from consultant class politics

a politician who helps feed thousands of children is far more like jesus than a politician that wants to make america a christian nation

Don’t worry everyone. There’s only one backdoor and we found it, so everything’s totally ok now.

[Stefan Karpinski @StefanKarpinski]

open source security did actually work in the xz situation:

some random end user noticed unexpected behavior, investigated, was able to look at source, and found the back door

if it was closed source they’d have no idea if it was working as expected or not

Most governments can’t do a statement as good as Sesame Street

Gentle reminder that RSS is still a thing that exists and works, despite the reader ecosystem having atrophied, and it could absolutely do a lot of the things we replaced it with Twitter for (especially e.g. emergency announcements, etc).

[Airport Workers United @GoodAirports]

Linda is a cabin cleaner at @PHXSkyHarbor. She regularly works in temperatures approaching 100 degrees and isn't allowed water. She has to drink bottles left behind by passengers.

While airlines brag about record profits. This is the reality for workers. https://t.co/DfDSubhRxf

Many people are unaware that their version of caring behavior are actually attempts at controlling another person.

@SweetBeansComix I’ll allow it 👍

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.

You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Arizona, you have a chance to vote for candidates like @KrisMayes, @Adrian_Fontes, @KatieHobbs, and @CaptMarkKelly who will work to build the inclusive, hopeful, forward-looking America we believe in.
