It’s time for a “Proud to be WOKE” movement. If you’re not WOKE, you’re asleep and dreaming.

It’s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?!

I’m standing with my Labor Caucus colleagues to #RaiseTheWage, because $7.25 ain’t cutting it.

Reading CARELESS PEOPLE by Sarah Wynn-Williams and it’s a MUST READ about Facebook’s (or Meta or whatever it’s now) corporate culture and BEYOND tone deaf DANGEROUS leadership & growth. It’s all seemingly accurate af bc they have since “silenced” her from testifying or promoting! How telling.

Just finished "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams.
Highly recommend.

I always knew Meta was an evil company, I just didn't realize HOW evil it truly was.

I know we all inhabit history but I would prefer to be living in an era that gets a few lines in the book and not multiple chapters

The easiest way to get rich is to tell people a lie they want to hear.

This is also a pretty good way to get elected to public office.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Don’t meet your heroes… unless your hero is @samwitwer.bsky.social.

Nerds can be typically trusted to do the right thing. We grew up with stories of underdogs and rebellion that guided us well into adulthood. I’m not surprised to see him on the right side of history.

The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule.

Today, @indivisibleguide.bsky.social called for building strong community opposition to the current administration. One way we can do this is to recognize and support the academics, universities and organizations not caving to fascism in this starter pack. I followed all and I hope you will too. 💙
With Harvard, U Mass faculty, Princeton, Wesleyan, Rutgers faculty and others leading the way, academics are standing up to this lawless administration. Here is a pack of academics, former academics, and organizations worth following on Bluesky who are in this opposition

The crazy thing about humans is this:

We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth.

The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first.

That’s it.

The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice.

Greed is holding us back.
