Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP β€” which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Column | Have you received scam texts about an unpaid toll? You are not alone. In 2024, consumers reported losing $470 million to scams that started with text messages, according to the FTC β€” a fivefold jump since 2020.

Have you also been receiving those scam texts about an unpaid toll? What about the ones offering you a job that seems too good to be true? Text scams are the cockroaches of our digital lives. They just won't die. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Call it radical, but 40 hours a week of work should provide enough pay to afford housing, healthcare and groceries.

Shout out to this group of leaders on the Westside who spent this last Saturday participating in a Doorhanger Drop for We Are California's No Hate, No Fear, Immigrants are Welcome Here campaign! Sharing Know-Your-Rights info with neighbors in our communities is one way we help keep each other safe!

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement β€œif you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.

We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

LA Voice grieves the loss of #PopeFrancis. For over a decade, he has led not only the Catholic Church with compassion and justice at the heart of his teaching, but been an example to the entire world as a spiritual leader who embodies putting faith into action.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contractsβ€”an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

β€˜Deeply troubling’: Lawmakers demand feds release Tufts student from ICE custody, restore her visa Federal agents surrounded Rumeysa Ozturk in the street near her off-campus apartment, arrested her, and rushed her away to Louisiana.

Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, is the latest student abducted by ICE for her political beliefs.

I joined @pressley.house.gov & @warren.senate.gov in demanding DHS release Rumeysa and provide answers on this disturbing trend.

The externalities of cars scale with weight, size and speed: space taken, gas burned, tire particulates, noise, pavement, cost to consumer and, above all, crash force, injuries and fatalities.

Shrinking cars would accomplish most of the goals of EVs with many ancillary benefits, like fewer deaths.

The restoration of LA County after the wildfires must meet everyone's needs, where no person or family gets left behind or stands alone. I urge you to give to the LA Voice Benevolence Fund so I and other Altadena families can work together to preserve what makes Altadena unique."
