These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets πŸ’₯

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Barriers block Missouri SNAP and Medicaid users from keeping vital benefits, survey finds Researchers surveyed low-wage workers and found many report administrative burdens in signing up and keeping vital Medicaid and SNAP coverage.

Many low-wage workers who rely on SNAP were on an emotional roller coaster during the federal government shutdown. But new research shows that people already have a difficult time accessing those federal benefits. (@stlpublicradio.bsky.social)

Farmers are desperate for workers. They want Trump to make it easier to hire foreign labor The U.S. agricultural industry depends on undocumented immigrants, but President Trump’s immigration crackdown is further depleting an already tight workforce. The labor crisis may be setting the stage for big changes to a federal program that allows foreign workers into the country legally.

β€œWithout these immigrants, we would struggle,” one Midwest dairy farmer says. β€œWe wouldn’t exist basically, and we wouldn’t want to exist either.”

Representation isn’t a box to tick, it’s a blueprint for better governance.
When every voice is heard, decisions get smarter, policies get fairer, and people get seen. Diverse leadership builds systems that actually serve the world we live in.

Hack exposes Kansas City, Kansas, Police's secret officer misconduct list A major breach of the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department reveals, for the first time, a list of alleged officer misconduct including dishonesty, sexual harassment, excessive force, and false arrest.

The officer misconduct list is a further indication of what has been an open secret for decades β€” residents’ accusations that many Kansas City, Kansas, police officers were corrupt or racist.

And it shows how many of them were allowed to stay in the department, and even rise through the ranks.
