Nope. What young people think is that they have to be a success to be financially stable. Because the cost of college vs these entry level salaries is a red flag about their future prospects if they follow the advice of elders who forgot how debt works.
Oprah with a word. “My frustration with young women + young men is that they think success is supposed to happen like - That!”
Being poor now just leads to being more poor later. Can't pay to clean your teeth? Next year, pay for a root canal. Can't pay for a new mattress? Next year, pay for back surgery. Can't pay to get that lump checked out? Next year, pay for stage 3 cancer. Poverty charges interest.
If you aren't worried about tonight's #ScotusPick you aren't paying attention. @realDonaldTrump will roll back women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, voters rights and the rights of other marginalized communities with just one appointment. #SCOTUSnominee #SCOTUS #Trump #SupremeCourt
What do you do if ICE is outside your door? Remember: #WeHaveRights. This video series from @BklynDefender & @ACLU prepares you for encounters with #ICE. Watch the series (available in 7 languages), and make an emergency plan: aclu.org/we-have-rights (H/t @iJesseWilliams)

As a longtime restaurant worker, I know personally that these are not isolated incidents. The restaurant industry is the largest source of sexual harassment complaints to the @USEEOC—and that's only what gets reported. The Tipping Equation via @nytimes nytimes.com/interactive/20…
"a man announced in a full shop of guests that he’d like to take me in the stockroom to see my other piercings on my body...as a black woman, I am already underpaid, so if I speak up about harassment, I could lose tips," Kristina tells legislators. #MeToo #ServersSpeakOut
Refusal to call white bombers terrorists is part of post-9/11 politics. In the 1990s, no one hesitated to call Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh, or Eric Rudolph terrorists. Trump has since formalized this bias, focusing on Muslims and defunding efforts to stop white terrorists.

I made my first pie!! It’s not perfect but I think I just leveled up my cooking skill.
The brave Parkland students are doing something astonishing. They are instantly preempting disinfo & gaslighting by posting testimony, evidence, photos. And they have rallied to specifically to oppose the NRA. This is courageous grieving; they are warriors fighting for all of us.
I wrote an article on how Trump, as president, would mask his authoritarian tendencies in displays of spectacle. I wrote it two years ago. And now we await the parade... thediplomat.com/2016/03/trumpm…
50 years ago, black sanitation workers went on strike with MLK. The signs they carried boldly declared their humanity, saying, “I AM A MAN.” On, Feb. 12 the #FightFor15 will honor their legacy in a day of aciton. Make YOUR sign and we'll carry it with us: fightfor15.org/iam/
