There is no serious threat of “Sharia law” in America.
But lawmakers are pushing Bible mandates, Ten Commandments displays, and Christian favoritism in government.
That’s the actual threat to the Constitution.

Today is the four year anniversary of Starbucks Workers United unionizing its first store.
Since then, they've won over 650 union elections but Starbucks still hasn't negotiated a fair union contract.
Until then, don't cross the picket line. Show solidarity like Bernie and Zohran.

Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up.
It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to."
When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
