Unions built the middle class.
Not Wall Street. Not billionaires. Not trickle-down tax cuts that have never once trickled down.
Working people who organized, fought, and refused to back down — they built it.
We protect that. We expand it. We stand with every worker in this country who is fighting for what they deserve.
@leo829756 For over 40 years I needed a ID to purchase and pay extra special $$$ for a permission slip to exercise my rights.
So yeah ID for vote is fine
@LASHYBILLS Sadly girl was not taught to go complete fight mode.
My dad and uncle taught us
Never not fight back . Kick , bite , break bones
No holding back
Above all avoid that situation at all cost
@Sabiha1278 Often the tow company contracted to tow will have a rig sitting waiting for violators
Business near the train stations
Have flat beds parked in the lot during peak parking periods
And if your car is there more than 2 hrs it will get towed
To whoever reported my car the second they saw it in a disabled spot… I genuinely hope that felt as satisfying as it seemed for you. 😭
I pulled into Target, ran in real quick to grab ONE thing, and by the time I came back out my car was already being towed like it had been waiting for hours instead of minutes.
No warning. No ticket. Just straight to tow truck mode in what felt like no time at all.
And I’ve gotta ask—do some people just sit in parking lots waiting for the exact moment they can report someone? Because the speed this happened was honestly wild.
I wasn’t parked there for long. I wasn’t wandering around the store for ages. I was gone for less time than it takes to decide what to buy in the checkout line.
What made it even more frustrating is how quickly it all escalated into a full tow situation instead of any kind of warning or ticket first.
Now I’m stuck dealing with fees, paperwork, and losing my whole afternoon over something that lasted just a few minutes.
It’s just been one of those situations where everything snowballed way faster than expected. 😅

@OnlyInBOS Yeah sure it does ,like the recycle scam where they dump all the buckets in one truck
Only one making out on this deal is who ever has the trash can contract
Boston’s free curbside food waste program became so popular that the first 10,000 spots filled within weeks.
Residents can put food scraps in a separate bin, and the waste gets turned into compost or clean energy instead of ending up in landfills.
Some guy tipped me $10… all in quarters. And I’m still trying to process who thinks that’s normal.
Just finished a DoorDash delivery, and he says he “forgot to tip in the app.” Alright, whatever. Then he pulls out a whole roll of quarters like it’s some kind of grand gesture and goes, “Sorry man, this is all I’ve got.”
Nothing says appreciation in 2026 like handing someone a pile of coins. I’m not a vending machine or a parking meter—I’m not exactly set up to be hauling rolls of change around or making a Coinstar trip for money I already earned.
I took it just to keep things moving, but tipping in quarters? That’s a new level. Tip in the app, tip in cash, tip digitally—just don’t turn it into a coin-handling side quest.
MAGA hates working people.
It’s a disgrace that nearly 20 GOP states still have a $7.25 minimum wage.
In California, it’s $25 an hour for an entire sector of workers! As it should be.
@Sofia50020Sofia There are still plenty of countries you can go to where you can do what your religion wants you to do.
There is zero need to be marrying cousins these days
Muslims in Florida are reportedly outraged and threatening to leave the state if Gov. Ron DeSantis bans cousin marriage.
“Cousin marriage is part of our culture. Banning it would be Islamophobia. We will have no choice but to leave Florida!” Thoughts?
My daughter graduates from High School tomorrow. It is a majority white school in an affluent area, with strict rules for graduation. Thank God for that !
This is ridiculous! 🙄

A 1st Century BC, Roman Intaglio Ring, made from carnelian, is a small but highly detailed work of art...
The depiction of a dwarf killing a grasshopper is a specific and somewhat enigmatic motif. While the exact meaning is open to interpretation, it likely carries a symbolic message related to triumph or the overcoming of a minor nuisance. In Roman culture, dwarfs were often depicted in a satirical or comedic light, but they were also a source of fascination. The grasshopper, in some contexts, could symbolize a plague, a pest, or a minor irritant. The image may therefore be a playful or humorous representation of overcoming a small but annoying problem.
The ring's material, carnelian, was a popular choice for intaglios due to its beautiful reddish-orange color and durability. Its semi-translucent quality gives the carving a rich depth when viewed in light. Dating from the Roman Republican Period (1st century BC), the ring is a valuable piece of historical evidence, offering a glimpse into the tastes, humor, and daily life of the Roman elite. It is currently held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston.

@MatrixMysteries I would like to see all the details on that loan. I would like to know the agreement. Did you defer payments until you were out of college? Were you only making minimum payments which don’t put a dent in your principal were you making any extra payment towards the principal?
An American checks her student loans.
She borrowed $49,548.74.
After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36.
Her current balance? $50,121.33.
After PAYING $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed.
This isn’t aid — it’s legalized USURY.
