In some states, cities and counties can establish a higher minimum wage to better address local costs of living.
In other states, lawmakers are blocking local leaders from setting adequate wage requirements.
Does your city have the power to raise its own minimum wage?

Sure Americans are in bread lines and layoffs are ripping across the country and prices are up and health care costs are skyrocketing… but least Ghislaine is happier now, that’s what counts!

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.
“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

This next decade is about China's solar hockey stick of hope against the petrostates led by the US.
China's bet made Solar+batteries+EVs turn into business models of Coke cans-everywhere, cheap, accessible, satisfy the thirst for freedom.

Democrats need to go on the offensive and push trials, tribunals, votes of no confidence, and maximum prison time for these traitors to democracy.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.
Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start
If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street
Just got back from 10 hours of canvassing for Zohran in Manhattan, some things really stand out compared to the last few months since the primary. First, *lots* of people have already voted, and nearly all the ones I talked to who did had voted for Zohran. Cuomo voters don’t even say his name.

An edited We Should Improve Society Somewhat meme. A medieval peasant says "We should improve society somewhat" while a modern man wearing a US flag themed shirt and a US patriotic hat, emerging from a well, angrily replies, "COMMUNIST!!!" His eyes are bulging out from anger while he grits his teeth to the point of cracking them. His hands are extended outwards ready to wrong the peasant’s neck. He is blonde and blue eyed. The original We Should Improve Society Somewhat meme refers to a panel from a comic by Matt Bors in which a medieval peasant says "We should improve society somewhat" while a modern man, emerging from a well, replies, "Yet you participate in society! Curious! I am very intelligent."

What Trump and Republicans are doing — using the shutdown to withhold emergency SNAP funds that could feed millions — is sadistic. Literally reveling in their own cruelty.
They’ll cut taxes for billionaires but let children go hungry. A national scandal.
Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
He also lacks a platform, and if he does have one, he's not communicating it effectively.
