This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo.

Vote like you’re signing your name to the country’s emancipation papers.
Vote like your pen has the power to save lives.
Vote because the country can be healed.
Vote because all wrongs can’t be righted but they can be accounted for. /end

The federal minimum wage, stuck at $7.25 since 2009, is worth 70% of what it was in 1968, and about a third of what it would be had it kept pace with productivity.
Let's change this. #FourthofJuly
