Universal Basic Income!

$2,000/mo for Adults

What would you do with an extra $2,000/mo?

Good thread on why Bill Gates isn’t coming to save us

Bill Gates is deeply misguided on climate. My Newsweek commentary debunking his downplaying of the need for rapid decarbonization is nearly 5 years old, but it is evergreen: www.newsweek.com/right-path-f...

Food prices increased 23.6% from 2020 to 2024.

This is higher than overall inflation, which was at 21.2% during this period (and which was already near a record high).

The Trump admin is terminating most contracts with federal unions at the Department of Veterans Affairs. This illegal union busting and violation of union contracts will affect 400,000 workers and is one of the most aggressive anti-labor moves the administration has made so far.

A Canadian province is taking legal action for job applicants who are 'ghosted' by companies after multiple rounds of interviews.

Companies in Ontario will soon be forced to inform candidates about their hiring status within 45 days of their final interview.

I’m not upset if someone on SNAP wants to buy chips.

There are very wealthy people in this country who profit off Americans who have cancer.

That does upset me.

18,000. That's the low and conservative estimate for the amount of children Israel has violently massacred in the past 600 days. That's a kindergarten class of 30 every single day.

Speaking of, Israel literally bombed a kindergarten yesterday. I'm not sharing the video, but it is horrifying.

Republican lawmakers are introducing legislation in Congress that would ban striking workers from receiving unemployment benefits.

The bill seeks to override the laws of several states that give workers on strike unemployment.

Who else is tired of building tech that serves billionaires instead of us regular folks? I'm working on creating worker-owned alternatives to exploitative BS! Would love to connect with other leftist devs/designers who crave for better tech! #workercoops #tech #techworkers #anticapitalist #leftist

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%.

We must defeat it.

You deserve to make more money.
You deserve lower costs.
You deserve healthcare.

We must not stop fighting for better just because those in power are actively trying to make things worse for working class people.

In fact, it’s our time to dream even bigger & fight even harder.
