Weekend read: Tyler Perry, Kyrie Irving and Snoop Dogg have all donated to 93-year-old Josephine Wright, who is being sued by developers in what she says is an attempt to force her to sell the property that’s been in her family since the Civil War. https://t.co/HaIkNBJB22
This is what makes the Democrats so evil. They know the American people are struggling but instead of doing anything meaningful about it they provide lip service to our problems and then make things even worse by selling us out to their corporate donors.
@StephenPerrino@Kayjuntexan@ninaturner It isn’t some magical spell. USA has had regulations in the past and we’ve experienced a radical increase in the pay gap in our country. We live in a new gilded age and everyone who works deserves to be paid fairly for their work. Pretty simple
@StephenPerrino@Kayjuntexan@ninaturner I never said most, but millions of teenagers do. I don’t think that someone should earn a living wage for the same job just because they’re not a teenager. The bottom wage should be livable, and increases with specialty/education. Not that radical, dude.
@NiranjanAjit Hurts to read this whilst on a plane, but very true. Wish people saw the urgency in needing to help combat climate change— though we should’ve started decades ago, can always start today.
More radiative energy is streaming into Earth from the sun than is escaping into space (via blackbody infrared) due to greenhouse gas buildup, mainly CO2 from burning fossil fuels. Earth has no choice but to heat up. RECORD IMBALANCE. Heat will intensify until we end fossil fuels
@Kayjuntexan@StephenPerrino@ninaturner Interesting that people try to decide what is “supposed to be” when there are millions of teenagers supporting themselves and/or their families in America. The starting wage should be a livable wage, and it goes up with specialty/knowledge
@Kayjuntexan@StephenPerrino@ninaturner pretty tricky line to draw when there are in fact teenagers out there that help support their families… so instead of maybe devaluing someone’s work just because they’re a teenager, we can pay everyone a livable wage if they work because their labor has value.
Between the Libertarian Party telling me to “pick crops for free” and DeSantis, and now Fox News saying that enslaved people “gained skills” while being enslaved, whitewashing slavery, it’s clear that now more than ever, anti-Blackness is en vouge.
