One-third of American workers live on less than $15 an hour.
This is the economic reality a political elite seeks to obscure, so they can get away with not raising the minimum wage, not providing universal health care, and not guaranteeing a livable wage.
The more we face the actual reality, the greater the chance that enough of us will rise up and do what it takes to change it.
Filipino caregivers in LA live in shocking poverty.
Exploited by agencies who take 40% of their pay, they make less than minimum wage.

My God.
Less than 24 hours after a jury found an Army sergeant guilty of shooting and killing a protester, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he would pardon the convicted killer as soon as a request "hits my desk"

One judge in Texas should not have the right to tell millions of women all over the country what we can and cannot do with our bodies.
This is not just about abortion; it’s about an effort to control women.
And we will not be controlled. npr.org/2023/04/07/115922045…

That, and more…
Exchange between @jonstewart and @DepSecDef Kathleen Hicks on the defense budget: "I can't figure out how $850 billion to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps. To me, that's fucking corruption."

AOC on what’s going on in Tennessee.
She’s right.
AOC: I think this is about the fascist takeover of our State Houses that Republicans have invested in over the last several decades. This is about disenfranchising Democrats in states where there are extreme levels of voter suppression. It was deeply about racism

Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson are demonstrating the best of what it means to be American.
"We came to protest assault weapons, and they responded by assaulting democracy." - Justin Jones
That assault on democracy will not stand. We the people will not let it.
Question: Why were those two expelled and you weren't
Johnson: Well, I think it's pretty clear. I'm a 60 year old white woman and they are two young black men

UBI is good; I never said it wasn't. It doesn't solve the underlying problems of an unjust economic system, but as a measure to help people get past the immediate crisis of economic insecurity I'm very open to it.
