Not fun fact according to the American Federation of Teachers: As of 2020, 25% of adjunct professors were eligible for public assistance. I had colleagues who used food stamps.

Poverty doesn’t always look like what you’d expect, and none of us are guaranteed a life without un- or under-employment.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.

Tweet from The Bulwark: “Q: ‘How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: ‘A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’”
Below, a photo shows Donald Trump speaking to reporters in the Oval Office surrounded by staff and press.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Photo of author Byron Graves, dressed in black, seated outside in run-down area on black leather bench. Maybe truck seat. Text: "Rosemary Brosnan and Cynthia Leitich Smith at HarperCollins/Heartdrum have acquired MEDICINE WHEELS, a YA contemporary novel by Byron Graves (REZ BALL), set on the Red Lake Reservation and following Bryce Fairbanks, who discovers skateboarding as a way to get through a world that is continually turned upside-down. Publication is slated for summer 2026; Terrie Wolf at AKA Literary Management brokered the deal for world rights." - Publishers Weekly

Background is peach with light grey skateboard design.
