16 years ago today, the federal minimum wage was raised to $7.25 per hour — and it hasn’t changed since.

That’s because the system is rigged against working people and for billionaires like Donald Trump.

Americans deserve better. It’s time to raise the wage.

Today, a United States Senator was arrested for asking a question of a federal official, in a federal building, as was his right.

If it can happen to a sitting U.S. Senator, it can happen to anyone.

Silence is complicity. We are at a crossroads. We must speak up.

Federal agents handcuffing US Senator Alex Padilla at a DHS Secretary Noem press conference today. The right wing spin machine is suggesting Senator Padilla barged into the room, lunged at Noem, and didn’t identify himself. There is no gray area, it’s all lies.

Don’t forget to breathe.

Breathe in for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. It signals safety to your nervous system and helps bring you back to centre.

No matter the situation, we need to be regulated to think, to act, to not freeze.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Trump, Musk, and Republicans’ efforts to dismantle our Social Security means families have to wonder how they will pay for loved ones' housing.

People pay into Social Security their ENTIRE lives — and it needs to be there for us when we retire.
