Freaking out to my mom about the mask mandate and she said that “just because the governor lifted the mandate doesn’t mean people will stop wearing their masks” like I don’t think she gets the ~vibe~ in Texas at all
BREAKING: Texas is lifting its mask mandate, making it the largest state to end an order intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Gov. Greg Abbott has faced sharp criticism from his party over the mandate, imposed eight months ago. https://t.co/WHPLWzf9jF
People have been fighting for a $15 minimum wage for so long its not even a living wage anymore!! Studies say if the minimum wage was adjusted with inflation it would currently be $24/hour. We’re asking for so much less than we deserve and Biden can’t even deliver that.
He says this but won’t provide monthly relief checks, wants to reopen schools before most of the country is vaccinated, is allowing employers to push people to working in-person before it’s safe etc...but making it totally an individual issue distracts from politicians’ cruelty
Millions of Americas are struggling to pay for life's essentials right now.
Every day we see fundraisers for rent, utilities, and even groceries.
But GoFundMe was never made to be a source of support for basic needs, and it can never be a replacement for robust federal relief.
DC Public Schools have begun in-person instruction. Since then, 105 faculty/staff members and 30 students have tested positive for COVID-19. 100 people are in quarantine, and a beloved teacher passed away over the weekend.
And for what?
@smilekidemi@simple Yea it takes a little bit of time to figure it out but once you do it’s pretty straightforward. Also the actual website is way better than the app imo
I'd looooove to know how many people who think storming the Capitol is an acceptable form of protest believe that taking a knee during the national anthem isn't.
i am tired of "this is not who we are" rhetoric.
the same america that pillaged and slaughtered indigenous folx for land, that enslaved millions, that created internment camps, is the SAME america storming the capitol building today.
