Why should I be worried? I’m a U.S. citizen, after all. Because the reality is that that never mattered to them. And if you believe that your “citizenship” will protect you, you’re a fool.

For Everything is Political, I reported on young people working multiple jobs. It's about more than side hustles—factors like worker exploitation & lack of opportunities to break in have impacted multiple generations. Now, some young adults say working only one job has never felt viable.
The Toll Working Multiple Jobs Takes on Young People
“Rat race,” “chaos,” “stressful”: these are just a few ways young people are describing days stuffed with side projects, shift schedules, and Google Calendars color-coded by job. Illustration Credit: ...

ICE was just outside my house. They tried to see if my front door was unlocked but unfortunately for them it was locked. They stood outside my house ringing the doorbell and knocking loudly for over half an hour. Then they went back to their car

Exactly. Republicans are forcing you further into medical debt so that they can pay ICE agents to terrorize communities.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

With a 30-40% vacancy rate in the workforce, NY is in crisis. Pilar’s testimony highlights the barrier to entry: 900 hours of unpaid labor.
Students shouldn't be skipping meals or facing homelessness to become providers. It's time to prioritize funding for bill S7894/A9379. (2/3)

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.
