All grocery delivery apps in New York City (including Instacart) must now pay workers at least $21.44/hr.
That number does not include tips.
Companies must also provide workers with annual increases adjusted for inflation.

You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.

You rise to the level of your training and practice, not to the level of your imagined self.
So it's extremely important to get skilled up and to practice. That's what all of the people getting trained in ICE Watch are doing.

Place an online order from some of the small businesses that will be closed! Closing for even one day is a big risk for some of them.

All the talk of "balance" in journalism produced a culture where constant sane-washing of the right isn't just allowed, it's expected and required.
The news outlets that have so far covered this have omitted the description of the GoFundMe from the creator himself: "The stupid cunts wanna make a go fund me for the stupod bitch that got what she deserved i made one for the ice officer that did his job lets get this man some money." /

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

“All of us, citizens and immigrants alike, are being ruled by people who think life is a privilege bestowed by authority, and death is a fair penalty for disobedience.”
This is why public backlash and mobilizing is so crucial. ICE is an out-of-control secret police and if the lesson they learn from this week is that escalating violence against civilians = less protest and less oversight, they will put that lesson into action. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Trump has no interest in governing - but he loves the pageantry of the presidency and the power to order violence while “looking strong.”
He has no coherent ideology, but a worldview defined by reactionary grievances and an insatiable impulse to dominate.
An incredibly dangerous combination.
