@Richard_ezio Minimum wage is meant as a first step, not a life sustaining career. What do teenagers working after school need a “living wage”?

J.B. Pritzker raised IL's min wage to $15 while red states cling to the $7.25 federal minimum—$14k/year, unlivable even where costs are lowest.
Trump gave billionaires tax cuts while workers drowned. 50-state data proves red states exploit the poor.

@Mikethewander1 Someone who thinks cutting off body parts to change gender calling someone else delusional is ironic.

@billybinion Society should start public shaming using welfare, children out of wedlock, not going to church, living an immoral lifestyle.
English
This is one of those times when I’m reminded that public shaming can be a very good thing. It helped turn smoking from a ~cool~ and glamorous habit into a trashy one. Don’t do it!

“Lately, I’ve been thinking about smoking. All the time,” writes author Xochitl Gonzalez. “With each passing day of this absolutely deranged year, my desire to contemplate how to make sense of it all while puffing on a cigarette grows.” Part of this smoking thing is a yearning for the past, admits Gonzalez. Not in an effort to recapture her youth, but to recapture an approach to time and life. “I can’t personally slow down technology or fix media or the demands of capitalism or any of the other existential things that have crept into our lives,” she writes. “But maybe what I can do is stop what I’m doing, ask somebody to come outside, and take five minutes to slow down with me while I engage in the very dangerous act of holding a flaming stick to my face. This could be my rebellion.” Read Gonzalez’s full essay: nymag.visitlink.me/55vbET

@DrNeilStone Amazing, I have 5 kids who didn’t get vaccinated in the first year of life, and all lived well past 1 year of life.

Before vaccines, 1 in 5 kids never made it to their first birthday

@kaizen000000000 And none of yours are caused by someone with a bible.

@brontyman I care about men in the same bathroom as my daughters.
You claim to be a doctor.
Think a little.

@JackDunc1 The Bible is a compass. Humans can kind of get it right, but not perfect.
And if you’re for killing innocent people and cutting off body parts - you’re a bad person.
English
if you require the bible to tell right from wrong, you're a bad person.
Answers in Genesis@AiG
The Bible is the only foundation for morality.

@1Nicdar I think all 4 are past having kids.
It would already be over.

@PattyMurray The FDA and doctors were willing to give poison, cut of body parts, and kill people, just cause.
The courts are tasked with upholding laws and the hierarchy of laws.
English
The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't.
This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop.
I have no intention of letting this stand.

@tedlieu Didn’t your party say, not 5 years ago, that presidents don’t control consumer prices?
I wonder what changed?
English
Are you experiencing high gas prices and grocery prices?
Are you having trouble paying your bills?
If so, the President just made fun of you and thinks your concerns about affordability are “bullshit.”
November is coming.
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism
BREAKING: A DC pollster just texted me “it’s over” after Donald Trump’s speech today where he called “affordability” a “line of bullshit.” There is not one Republican lawmaker who is up in 2028 that didn’t just shit their pants. He just gave Democrats the perfect ad.
English
@skumWgmi Maybe because it was easier to build housing?
More housing lowers prices.
Less regulation lowers prices.
Less government lowers prices.
Let’s blame the real villain:
Government.
English
BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill.
This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook.
Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective.
We must fight back.

@brontyman Nope, just cutting off genitals.
Nothing radical there.

@DrNeilStone No one get a small pox vaccine. Yet no one gets small pox.
What other vaccine eradicated the disease?
None- because vaccines don’t do that.
Many of the other vaccines have cause the disease or serious side effects that are arguably worse than the disease they were preventing.
English
Most of you will never have had:
Measles
Mumps
Rubella
Tetanus
Diphtheria
Polio
And none of you will ever have had Smallpox
Why?
Because vaccines work

@SwipeWright How about a compromise: pride events are ok, but pedos get thrown off buildings.
English
Regardless of your personal views on Pride events, if you had to choose between living in one of two hypothetical countries you knew nothing about except that one had Pride events and the other had none, you would almost certainly prefer living in the country with Pride events.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders.
Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order.
That's an out of control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Dear @WhiteHouse: I’m Chinese American. I read donald trump’s racist post below. Please tell donald trump I said fuck you.
See you in November.
