Seattle apartment buildings used to be called things like "The Cedar Arms" and now they're all called FLUX or interSector. Even if I was in tech, I would not want to live in FLUX or interSector.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Trump and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism."

Wages should at least cover the bare minimum, which includes food, water, shelter. But that’s not the case due to the Trump admin’s anti-worker policies. Working people are being used as political pawns and piggybanks for those who benefited from the Big Ugly Law. We'll be voting this November.
