"Zillow analyzed the 50 largest cities in the U.S. looking at the local minimum wage compared to rent price increases and found workers in cities that have set higher minimum wages fare better, even where rent is more expensive than the national average."

A new Zillow study says that renters who make minimum wage have two options to keep rent under 30% of their income: either find 3 roommates (with 2 people per bedroom) or work 4 full-time jobs.

Whenever I say that insulin should be free, people say that Americans should just eat healthier.
I remember these same people were in an uproar when First Lady Michelle Obama advocated for healthier food in schools.
Make it make sense!

Being raised in Colorado I can CONFIRM they DESPISE AA having any sort of financial security land or livestock.
There’s a lot of protection you need to have and people you NEED to know to survive and be Black and have it all out there. I got MAD STORIES.

Just to be clear: He was arrested, initially was denied bail. Has since made bail. This has been occurring for YEARS, & his arrest and release has been within the last 3-4 weeks! He has a hearing 2/14/23, his wife also has a hearing but I’m unsure of her date!

Wrong is wrong. Stop excusing racism. He filed over 170 complaints at the sheriff’s office and nothing ever came of it. One of the neighbors that Mr.Mallery has a RESTRAINING ORDER on, filed a complaint against him & he was immediately arrested.

To put it into perspective for some people, 1,000 acres is about 1,000 football fields. He owns a large amount of LAND. They don’t want us to prosper & he’s being targeted merely for being a successful black man. No more, no less. Please share so maybe the right people can see it

Simply because he’s black in Colorado with 1,000 acres & his supremacist neighbors MILES AWAY want his land. When they say go back to the good old days, this is what they mean. When they could terrorize us to no end. Idk why this in particular is pissing me off so bad

Extremist politicians are eying cuts to Social Security under the guise of reducing the deficit—even though, by law, the program adds $0 to our national debt. I used my whiteboard to call out this dangerous lie and stand up for the millions of Americans who rely on the program.

A supermarket in Illinois has to pay about $400,000 after they stole wages from 49 of their workers. Nobody will go to jail for this theft and nobody in the media gives a shit. This is the real crime wave in the US.

32% of workers make under $15 per hour.
That means 32% of workers make less than $2,400 per month.
The median price of rent is $1,978 per month.
This is unsustainable.

I lost more subscribers from this article than any other I've posted. It points out the racist history of policing. But learning this history is essential to preventing more tragedies like what the police did to #TyreNichols.

Corporations are buying large quantities of rental properties and price gouging rent prices.
This should be illegal.
Senate Democrats—instead of tasking your comms team to write statements and tweets about Tyre Nichols, you have the ability to go to the floor, carve out the filibuster, pass the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act & end qualified immunity.
