The US Department of Labor introduced a rule today which, if made official, will lead to the end of companies paying disabled people less than mininimum wage on the basis that they're disabled. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Companies can pay disabled people below minimum wage. The Biden admin wants to change that.
A proposal from the Department of Labor recommends the end of certificates that allow a subminimum wage for disabled people.

This is a HUGE step forward to making sure people of ALL disabilities have the same opportunities in the workplace. Big shoutout to the team at DOL that made this happen 🎉💯

With all the talk about the Democratic Party’s future, we have to talk about a major problem in our spaces: Bullying.
Too many people are treating their party org like a social club, and not a space for political organizing or welcoming new people. This has to change if we want to be relevant!
