Beware of Christians who literalize the words of Revelation about burning suns and seven-headed dragons, but spiritualize the words of Jesus about helping the poor, oppressed, and marginalized.
y’all have no respect for the ppl who make your life easier. the person making your morning coffee deserves a livable wage. the person stocking the groceries you buy deserves a livable wage. the person cleaning the restrooms in the office you work at deserves a livable wage.
It's one of the questions I get asked most often:
Why don't Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes speak out about what they witnessed while they were Scientologists and married to Tom Cruise?"

If your kids wanna read Harry Potter and enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with that. There's an entire community of folks who love Harry Potter and firmly reject the author's transphobia. That world belongs to fans now, not the author.
BREAKING: President Biden strikes a powerful blow for the working class as his Department of Labor announces a proposal to restore and extend mandatory overtime protections to 3.6 million salaried workers.
The historic move would guarantee overtime pay for most salaried workers earning less than $1,059 a week, which come out to about $55,000 annually.
"For too long, many low-paid salaried workers have been denied overtime pay, even though they often work long hours and perform much of the same work as their hourly counterparts," said Jessica Looman, a top official at the Department of Labor.
This is EXACTLY the kind of kitchen table policies that Democrats need to support. Meanwhile, Republicans are fixated on pointless culture war arguments meant to distract voters.
Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su heralded the announcement with inspiring words—
"For over 80 years, a cornerstone of workers’ rights in this country is the right to a 40-hour workweek, the promise that you get to go home after 40 hours or you get higher pay for each extra hour that you spend laboring away from your loved ones," she said.
"I’ve heard from workers again and again about working long hours, for no extra pay, all while earning low salaries that don’t come anywhere close to compensating them for their sacrifices," Su went on.
She pointed out that these new rules fit perfectly within the framework of "Bidenomics," which is all about empowering the poor and middle class instead of giving massive tax cuts to the super-rich.
No sane person can argue with this policy. It will stop employers from brutally exploiting American and make it easier for the hardest working members of our society to carve out a life for themselves and their families.
Joe Biden is the pro-worker candidate!
