Supporting living wages is common sense. Someone working full time should be able to afford housing, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone.
That’s not controversial or radical, arguing against it is.

Shit news. They found nodules on her lungs indicative of lung cancer. They took another 250mL of fluid out. She's breathing easier, but it's just enough to make her more confortable while we say goodye.

She's got fluid on her lungs again. We're back in the ER. Her cardiology appt was supposed to be at 830a today, but got pushed back to 1p. Now it looks like she may not live to have it.
The vet bill still exists, even if the outcomes are bad. Please help if you can.

Hey everyone, if you know me, you know I have 2 adorable cuddle cats named Izzy and Tucker.
Yesterday I had to rush Izzy to the emrgency vet as she was in heart failure.
If you could donate to her vet bill, the link below goes directly to the vet, I never have it. Thank you 💓

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.
In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.
So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Not *one* Republican senator responded to Trump saying he didn't know if he was supposed to uphold the Constitution.
Yes, Trump is a menace to our country, but he wouldn't be nearly as dangerous if the rest of the Republican party wasn't filled with selfish, unpatriotic cowards.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.
An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as *** $20 MILLION *** worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy.
