Waffle House workers in South Carolina have been striking against unsafe work conditions and wage theft.

Read this please
The hug that saved a life In 1995, the twins, Kyrie and Brielle Jackson, were born 12 weeks premature, each weighing only about 2 pounds. They were placed in separate incubators. One twin was not expected to survive. She went into critical condition. Her heart rate was rising while her oxygen level was dropping significantly. They were about to lose her. It was then that one nurse, Gale Kasparian, went against the hospital rules and standard procedure, putting the healthy twin next to her struggling sister in the same incubator. This decision turned out to be life-saving. Once the twins were close to each other, the struggling sister (Brielle) snuggled up to the healthy sister (Kyrie) who put her arms around Brielle. Almost immediately after, Brielle's vital signs started stabilizing. Her heart rate and oxygen levels normalized. Both twin sisters eventually survived and grew into strong young women. The picture below came to be known as the rescuing hug and would change a part of our understanding of medicine.
Hugging that is coming from the heart is proven to have calming and healing effects. Maybe there is someone in your life that can use a warm and heartfelt hug right now.

Exactly my point. And there are millions like them.
This should not be happening in the richest country in the world, and it happens in no other advanced democracy because those countries all have universal health care.
The only reason it happens here is because of the greed of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies, and the only way to override that is for We the People to rise up.

I’ve seen the same thing. There’s a huge swath of Americans who make up an invisible sea of despair. We say that they were afflicted by this disease or that, but what they were really afflicted by was bad public policy: unhealthy food, lack of access to the material basics of anything better, and lack of healthcare. They were ultimately killed by the spiritual disease, not the physical one.
I was a pastor for 40 years; when people died because they didn’t have health care, I had to bury them. I could not stand up in that pulpit and say that God called them home and it was a natural death. Refusing to pay people a living wage is policy murder. (1/3)

Truth.
America is a place where corporations can blow up a town, Trump & GOP leaders show up to get themselves headlines insisting they’ll protect the town…
…and then corporations funnel cash to Republicans who then block the bill to protect the town. levernews.com/the-corporate-…

The gutting of child labor laws is morally unacceptable. That two women governors (in Arkansas and Iowa) have led the charge is sickening.
Nearly 4,500 children were found to be working in violation of federal child labor laws in the last 10 months.
Some of them were operating dangerous machinery like deep fryers and meat-processing equipment.
It's corporate profits over everything — including the safety of kids.

The political axis that defines our times is not between left and right. That is simply a smokescreen.
The real dichotomy is between the powerful and the powerless, between those who have capital and easy access to capital versus those who are always struggling to survive.
Our current system maintains the dichotomy, leaving a huge amount of suffering baked into the cake. Only an uprising at the ballot box (in addition to the resurgence in the labor movement) can change the calculus.

Medicare4All, tuition free college and tech school, child care, paid family leave, a guaranteed living wage, declaring a climate emergency = democracy delivering on its promises. And THAT is how we win in 2024…
.@marwilliamson explains on #tytlive why the American people are "not in the mood" for a Trump vs. Biden rematch in 2024:
"I've met so many young people who are not going to show up to vote for a President who approved the Willow Project—democracy is not delivering."

Thank you @TheYoungTurks !
.@cenkuygur asks @marwilliamson about her biggest obstacle: mainstream, corporate media, and how she plans to overcome it.
"It's intentional because they know what I'm saying are the popular positions...that's why I feel the 10% I have, given the hits, we're doing pretty well."
