If you work full-time at the federal minimum wage you qualify for food stamps and Medicaid (which we all pay for).
Stop asking if businesses can afford higher wages and start asking why we're all paying to subsidize their low wages.
It has been 22 years since the Columbine massacre, and the only solution America has come up with to respond to school shootings is to keep practicing what to do during school shootings.
Absolutely disgraceful.
A beautiful night at the Lincoln Memorial interrupted by demonstrators chanting “reclaim America.“ The crowd gave them the finger and exchanged profanities.
Once again we placate the criminals. No accountability whatsoever for going on the lam! No additional charge. No fine for the cost of the various police departments that had to run them down. And they gave them bail!!! As long as they’re white they get the benefit of the doubt.
It's shocking how little attention the total collapse in Covid-19 deaths in Japan is getting.
There was 1 official coronavirus death in Japan yesterday.
Canada: 23 deaths
France: 103 deaths
Germany: 390 deaths
Italy: 72 deaths
UK: 142 deaths
U.S.: 3,798
I don’t like paying higher gas prices either but it’s incredible that people will buy GOP outrage on gas that’s $4 instead of $3.50—but then excuse GOP for keeping the min wage at $7.25 instead of $15, insulin at $1200 instead of $35, & paid leave at 0 weeks instead of 12 weeks.
Crystal Mason, black woman in TX who voted on supervised release when didn't know ineligible & provisional ballot wasn’t even counted, gets 5 years in prison
Donald "Kirk" Hartle, white man in Nevada, forges dead wife’s signature to vote twice for Trump & gets 1 year probation
A simple question:
If the situation was so dangerous on of August 25, 2020 in Kenosha, how come the only three people shot all night were shot by Kyle Rittenhouse?
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: THREAD: Pence, his aides, and staff were locked out of their offices in the capitol complex during the insurrection because their access badges had been DEACTIVATED the morning of the attack, according to sources familiar with the incident 1/
Biden was elected one year ago this week and every day since then we’ve gotten different versions of interviews with white people who vote Republican repeating misinformation they downed on Facebook while a reporter says “so interesting what’s happening in our country”
@Leslieoo7@davenewworld_2 If I'm the coach, of either team, I gather them up and walk out. If I'm an official, I call the game and end this shit. If I'm a school official, I start taking names etc and go from there. If I'm a parent, I grab my kid and leave. This is a complete failure on so many levels.
The family seems very nice, but:
1. They have NINE KIDS. That's ELEVEN mouths to feed. I applaud the couple for being willing to foster/adopt so many, but I wonder how the story narrative would've differed if they'd been a Black couple w/9 kids?
BREAKING - After threats that 10,000 NYPD officers could quit the force over the NYC vaccine mandate, the actual number going on unpaid leave today was 34.
Your daily reminder that CRT is not taught in public schools, and when Republicans say they want to ban CRT, they are really saying they want to ban the teaching of slavery and racism in the United States and replace it with 'patriotic education' that erases our history.
More and more evidence of the pandemic having precipitated a big uptick in reckless/antisocial behavior broadly, not limited to shootings and interpersonal violence.
I hate how stories are framed as a "win" or "loss" for Democrats or Republicans.
Paid family leave getting killed isn't "a blow to Biden" it's a blow to parents who have to pay $2,000 a month for daycare and a blow to kids who will grow up without bonding with their parents.
