The Dept of Labor is considering a change to a rule that would prevent home care providers from earning the minimum wage and overtime pay. Stand up for home care providers now by opposing this rule change. act.afscme.org/letters/stan...

Please help Sarah and Isaac if you can. Their family could use the assistance. www.gofundme.com/f/support-sa...

I feel like regular people should talk about how small their margins are, just like businesses that are making record profits do. 💁🏽‍♀️

Here in WA, in the 4th Congressional district, approx 38% of people — & 70% of kids — rely on Medicaid. Almost 17% of people in the region rely on SNAP. People in Yakima & Tri-Cities need Rep. Newhouse to reject the reconciliation bill that would take health care & food assistance away from so many.

As the Senate weighs the big bad bill, remember: when workers are told to do more with less, that’s a choice. Scarcity is engineered. Care should be unconditional. Ask what our communities need, and who’s hoarding the resources. (Hint: rhymes with Beff Jezos and his ilk).

Sounds like something a gorilla would say.

Nothing says "fiscal responsibility" like making working families choose between groceries and medications so billionaires can get a tax break to snag a third yacht and bankroll a union-busting legal team while they continue to build an AI overlords to do your job... just saying, #MedicaidMatters

The ladies at my salon said everyone has been asking when the revolution is… and they tell them they’ll ask me. So now I have to draft an email explaining how to get involved so they can share it with anyone asking. Always be organizing! lol

Canceling the measurement of economic impacts from climate change doesn’t make those costs — estimated to be nearly $2 trillion for the U.S. economy this decade — go away. Instead, it will likely have the effect of pushing them onto citizens. By @abrahm.bsky.social

Kinda makes you wonder if the White House press corps wishes it had pushed back harder on the AP being banished, don’t it?

The U.S. is being hoodwinked in broad daylight. So… that revolution, who’s manning the grill, and do we RSVP or just show up with a casserole and a game plan???

💅

I posted this with an explanation of why I’ve been MIA; then I took it down b/c idk why... But, it NEEDS to be shared. This is what WA loses if we don’t get off our asses and bring in new progressive revenue and this doesn’t even count what’s going on federally. Fight the power, people. ✊🏽

If you're in WA, please sign in as PRO on HB 1927 (on-time rent credit reporting) which will help make rent count towards your credit score. app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie...

“Our union was born in the fight for a professional, non-partisan civil service, and our communities will pay the price if these anti-union extremists are allowed to undo decades of progress by stripping these workers of their freedoms. Together, we are fighting back.” ✊🏽

Just going to drop this, from Jan. 22, 2025, here and duck back out…

A friendly reminder.... www.propublica.org/tips/federal...

Reminder: profiteering/corporate capture is a bad joke, & the punchline is democracy gets hurt. Govt funding isn't a luxury, it's necessary. Corps, incl nonprofits, are NOT adequate (or cost-savings) substitutes. The transfer of wealth is a sneaky way to take from the many & give to the few.

I've always said I'd never sign up for another social site. But here we are...
