Yes, Naelyn--I was given the beautiful gift of standing on the sacred land Oak Flat and praying there, and I am crying out against those threatening the land and her people, blaspheming the Creator by desecrating Mother Earth. Thank you for speaking out, witnessing to your faith.
I ask prayers for my son and his wife who are struggling with alcohol addiction, and for their daughter, my beloved granddaughter, who is 13 and so fearful for them
Please put the link to give to Apache Stronghold here in Fb, too

$15 Minimum-Wage Setback Tests Biden’s Ability to Unite Democrats
t.co
Senate parliamentarian’s ruling against attaching the minimum-wage increase to Covid-19 relief leaves President Biden and his party looking for another way to deliver on one of his core campaign promises.I work hard to get me and my family members to vote in this election..I believe in the values that we all matter Black Brown White Yellow ..I live in the State of Georgia Biden said Send me theses to men Ossoff and Warnock and We did! Now it time for you to fill your promises! The poor is sick and tried of being sick and tried! Now it your turn Sir the ball is in your court.
he ran on $15 min wage, he ran on ending the imprisonment of children at our border, he ran on the idea of unity. he ran on nothing else. it was one of the vaguest campaigns of platitudes, so you'd think he could at least fight for one of the few things he stood for. i'd say in a powerful democracy that sort of shit should get you recalled and replaced.
We need to continue to press to pass at least a 15 dollar an hour minimum wage. Maybe Sen Bernie Sanders approach about rewarding those who comply with 15 dollars an hour is a good idea. We must not give up on helping me people who are often essential workers. We can do better and we must!
This is the Beginning of March. Give him time. I believe he will get it done.
I only voted for Joe Biden just to keep our democracy going from the very real threat of Trump overriding this country's democracy. That's the only reason why I voted for him. And from the looks of things so far, even with the democrats controlling both chambers of Congress, they're going to go with their usual plan as always of not doing anything to help the American people while they are in power and say in the end every time they lose their majority, "But hey, at least we triiied?? 😝 " or I guess in other words, "Haha, we don't care. 😂" This poor person is tired of not having a home of her own and is always tired of being tired of being poor in the richest country in the world while with the vast power and wealth the United States holds, our government could most likely eliminate poverty for all Americans overnight. But we won't. Can't have the people in this country living happy lives every day now can we? 🙄 Gotta' keep em' miserable, starving, and dependent on poor wages and fixed incomes for many of us I guess is what this country tells me and every American every single day by our government's and law makers'/politicians' inactions of finally eliminating poverty and suffering in this country and fixing all of this country's problems basically; infrastructure problems, better K-12 education, universal healthcare, etc. This American citizen is just tired of being tired is all. 😞😒🙄 I apologize for the book, haha. 😟😅
Let's make a public list of how much lawmakers make. When they gave the Koch brothers that 50 billion dollar tax break the wealthiest men in the world they weren't worried about the deficit, small business the economy who needs it and who doesn't. It's hipocracy.
No more foreign wars. Cut the military budget. Then you'll have all the funding you need for relief packages and social welfare programs! I'm all for a wage hike and making corporations and the rich pay their share, but no one is willing to talk about the elephant in the room.
Think about this. The people making slave wages kept this country going during the pandemic while the less than 10% which includes elected officials, either worked from home or in very controlled environments. They deserve a living wage. Let politicians take a pay cut to pay for it!
Tests humanity.
Screw the Joe's ! #dontkillitbernie
He can have Kamala override it. He doesn’t want it.
If he doesn't get the majority in the senate it won't ha and manchin holds that vote, people in virginia don't need the money???
The problem with neoliberal Democrats is their inability to SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER! In part because they value power over truth, which is the seed of corruption, impotency, and FAILURE.
With a 62% approval rating, he has the political capitol to get the rest of the Dems to end the filibuster and go along with the $15 minimum wage, if he was ever really sincere about it. The parliamentarian's view doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
Wage stagnation is WAGE THEFT.
Same old same old. America's job market has been shrinking for years, and today's poor are those left jobless (or are unable to work), with $0 incomes. The PPC of this era has nothing to do with the poor. Biden's own long record defines him - a standard anti-poor New Democrat. Again, learn the difference between low-income and no-income.
So far he hasn't delivered . The immigrate children in the cages are still there .. Screw Republicans and the Supreme Courts decision to leave them there . He needs to grow a set,involve the U.N ,walk in there and use his power free them all .
If the Democrats don't get this passed, I believe they will be voted out in 2022.
Just put it in the ACT bill. $15/hr plus forced arbitration for companies that would rather close shop than allow a union.
Ah, the old “Dems in disarray” trope instead of doing a piece on house Republicans voting no on the minimum wage, vaccine funding, small business help, direct payments to Americans and funding to safely open schools.
He promised his donors "Nothing will fundamentally change." Now he's following through on that promise.
Another milk toast corporate-owned Democrat who has started his Presidency letting us down. These betrayals will lose Democrats in both Houses in 2 years and executive in 4 years. Support Justice Democrats when primaries come around. Must get corporate-owned Democrats OUT of our govt.
More like put a MASK on it, amirite?! You guys get it? Right? Still got it, Deeb.. ya still got it
Democrats are a fake People's party, they are just Establishment teammates with the Republicans, working for the Establishment 1% and enabling the looting of the 99% to the max.
Big Shock ... same, same.
“Here’s what I’d like folks to understand: We aren’t poor, sick, injured and dying because of bad choices. We didn’t choose this. We chose hard work, family, faith and community. But because of bad policies, that wasn’t enough even before the pandemic. Now there’s more pressure on our communities than ever before.” -Pam Garrison, West Virginia Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival ...
Pamela Garrison: The hard work of being poor
www.twincities.com
As Congress advances a COVID-19 relief package that calls for a $15 national minimum wage by 2025, I am aware that some people think that being poor is a personal choice, or something that reflects…Thank you for your leadership for the common good.
Ms. Garrison is absolutely right, but despite all these challenges, every American citizen has two choices to make if policies are ever going to change — to vote, regardless of the obstacles placed in their path, and to vote for better policies. People like Joe Manchin are not simply voting their consciences, as far as I can tell, they are also calculating whether they are more likely to stay in office if they side with the mine owner or the coal miner’s daughter. For a long time now, to an outsider at least, it appears that the owners are winning. They are the ones who have always tried to exact the most labor possible by ensuring that their workers lived in grinding poverty and dependence. (“I owe my soul to the company store.”) The problem is not that the people of West Virginia are afraid of hard work; it is for example that a large proportion of them do not even have access to the kind of high-speed Internet that would not only allow them to work remotely but also to gain new marketable skills and education. Coal mining is going the way of the buggy whip not because of regulation but because it is dirty, dangerous, and too expensive. So the question is why do we have policies that perpetuate this state of affairs and who benefits? That seems like a good question not only for our politicians but also for the people who voted for them or who did not vote at all. Powerful people have always wanted either to suppress or manipulate the vote of the poor. They have been defeated before. Let’s hope they can be defeated again.
