Black people live in red states. Brown people live in red states. Queer people live in red states. Writing off the South means writing off some of the most diverse communities & fierce advocates in the nation & leaving those who will be most harmed these policies behind.
insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.
Want to feel old? Legally Blonde was released 20 years ago. Though it’s supposed to be a feel-good movie about a woman following her horrible ex-boyfriend to law school, Legally Blonde is a prism through which we can see the misogyny of the early 2000s. https://t.co/xFXHkVagpx
Roger Marshall's argument for not raising the minimum wage is that he had a minimum wage job and it paid for his entire college tuition.
When he graduated from Kansas State University, tuition was $898/year. It is now $10,000/year. The minimum wage then was $3.35. It's now $7.25
If $15/hr min wage bothers you because it's more/ the same or "too close to" what you're making, direct that anger to your bosses who are underpaying you, not to other people who are also underpaid.
