Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Republicans are still trying to pass their Big Betrayal Bill.
They held the previous vote open for hours—and STILL don’t have their shit together.
Maybe the problem isn’t the vote count. Maybe it’s the bill.
You can hold the vote open all night…trash is still trash.

The GOP's greatest superpower is the sheer cartoon evil of their policies. "They are taking healthcare from the poor so they can give tax breaks to millionaires" makes you sound like a hysterical SJW but it is straightforwardly what they are doing.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Don't let others make you feel miserable for taking joy in things. The world is a horrible place. If we don't take time to make ourselves happy, we'll crumble. The world will tell you not to smile. Ignore it. Find happiness where you can, even if it's small.

Between the mass layoffs, the dismantling of safety net services of all kinds, and the changes in student loan payment requirements, I am concerned.
