"A letter writer takes issue with the GOP Chairman of Santa Cruz's lament that Gavin Newsom and California Democrats have sabotaged state legislation that would have eliminated taxes on tips for low-wage heroes like servers and bartenders. Her complaint is that Republicans blocked legislative efforts to raise California's minimum wage, implying that if Republicans really cared about workers, they would support a higher minimum wage."
"The ICE secret police are absolutely not patriots; they are nothing but goons and gangsters hired by the Trump-Noem administration to terrorize honest citizens. Renee Nicole Good was neither a domestic terrorist, nor a corrupt politician nor an illegal immigrant. It is obvious from the video that she was not using her car as a weapon; she was driving way too slowly. Yet she is now dead."
Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming have no state minimum-wage law. All those states have substantially lower unemployment rates than California. The absence of state minimum wages is presented as contributing to lower labor costs and employer advantage. Opposition to raising California's minimum wage is described as inconsistent with concern for workers. ICE agents are characterized as goons and gangsters allegedly hired by the Trump-Noem administration to terrorize citizens. Renee Nicole Good is described as neither a terrorist nor an illegal immigrant, with video said to show she was driving too slowly and not using her car as a weapon before her death. Additional claims allege presidential use of military force abroad and threats to deploy U.S. troops domestically under the Insurrection Act.
