Sorry can't talk right now-
I'm busy explaining that low-wage workers are only called "unskilled" to normalize poverty wages and obscure the fact that billion dollar companies often barely pay their "skilled" workers a living wage either.

“Most people will not go into regular shelters. You don’t need ID to check in, you don’t know who’s sleeping next to you or what’s going on," Wesley Thomas tells the @washingtonpost. "This shelter, if it’s structured and run well, it would be a blessing.” https://t.co/9a71qZNIIa

Another mass shooting, this time in Jacksonville.
This was an act of racial terrorism and the kind of white vigilante violence against Black Americans deeply embedded in our nation’s history.
We must disarm hate and tackle white supremacy now. No more excuses!
