Raise minimum wage by 50¢ each quarter for the next ____ years until that $7.25 (from 2009) number grows to match inflation since 2009. Tiny jumps using well-defined timeframes would be much easier for companies large and small.
"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of decent living." .. (Franklin. D. Roosevelt) ..(cartoon Nick Anderson)
So many memes and posts here on Bluesky about the voter "purge" here in Texas. Turns out it is normal and routine voter data hygiene - if you moved, didn't notify the SoS, and your voter card was returned, then your registration is suspended (not purged). Here's a great article about the process.
Texas’ voter suspense list has sparked claims of election shenanigans, but the list is a routine part of the state’s voter registration system. Here’s what it means if you’re on the suspense list, and how to get off it. elpasomatters.org/2026/09/01/t...
Wow. If this lady’s parents had universal healthcare, she might not have been orphaned before she became a teenager.
these people booing sound like literal sheep as Darline Graham criticizes Dr. Annie Andrews for supporting "government-run healthcare" before bragging of her parents that "if they were sick, they had to get up and go to work...my mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later"
I hope I never need this information, but I’m bookmarking this page just in case.
When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file. (Published May 2023)
10-20 times as much hypocrisy on the Republican side as there is on the Democratic side.
NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Tell me something good that's happening in your life right now. I'll go first. Another one of the rooms in my house will have built in bookshelves on three walls. Almost every room in my house has bookshelves, but until now only one has walks of built-ins. Now there will be more! ♥️📚

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Has any House Speaker ever refused to seat a newly elected representative?
I know there's a lot going on, but it's crazy that Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who won her election on Sept. 23. He could have done this at any time, even amid the government shutdown. But he won't. Unprecedented.
Why the word “modern” in the last sentence?
Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

This would be the ultimate - a forever vacation.
CBS Mornings did a story this morning on ...Residential Cruising. It’s possible you might recognize a couple of the people they interviewed. The reporter really nailed it, focusing on *Community*. The anchors blew it, gasping at the “$11,000 a month” fees. The reporter was MUCH closer.

“Music can be a call to arms, but music itself changes nothing. It won’t go further unless you are determined to act upon it.” Bob Geldof, the rock star-turned-activist who helped organize Live Aid 40 years ago, reflected on the benefit concert’s impact and why it could not happen today.

This secret police stuff really sucks. Seems like we're not supposed to have that here.
🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car. They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor. Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is. (🎥 ABC 7 News)
