Bernie Sanders: It’s time to raise the minimum wage so that a minimum-wage job will lift a person out of poverty not keep them in it.
-
Republicans: But inflation!!1!
-
Economists: The minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and the economy has expanded considerably since then, so actually, an increase in the minimum wage is due to keep the working class in line with the cost of living.

Republicans: I don't know suddenly I cannot read.
So today at IHOP a white lady stepped in and insulted my mother for speaking Spanish. She told my mom to learn English Or get out of America.my mom does speak English with an accent though! I stepped in an didn’t let her do that. Please share!! This will not stop unless we step in. Latinos tenemos que hablar contra el RACISMO!
Here’s the video of proof!
Share!!!White people piss me tf off.
Do yall here the pain in that woman’s voice (that woman who speaks Spanish)? That is the pain of someone who has worked day and night to make things happen for herself and her family in this god awful country only to have all of her work be spit on by some stale piece of bread who probably hasn’t had to do half of what the other woman does.
I know this pain well, especially being the child of two immigrant parents and seeing how people reacted when my parents spoke in their mother tongue or when they heard my parents accents. Suddenly any trust or expectations that any (mostly white) person had in them as an employee/house owner/worker etc. was just completely disregarded.
I’m sick and tired of this bullshit and I'ms sick and tired of associating “American” with “white and English speaking” because that’s not what it fucking is.
