On Harvey Milk Day, we celebrate the life and legacy of civil rights activist Harvey Milk. 🕊️🏳️‍🌈

In 1977, Harvey Milk became one of the first openly gay U.S. elected officials when he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. During a time of widespread hostility and discrimination, Milk’s leadership gave hope to the LGBTQ+ community. He was tragically assassinated in 1978, but his legacy continues and he inspired a generation of leaders and activists. 

We honor Milk and other LGBTQ leaders' courage to demand freedom by continuing to fight attempts to legislate us out of history. We’re not going anywhere.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered 50 years ago on August 14, 1975. The original release was pulled from theaters after the first weekend but found a home at the Westwood Theater in the US on September 26, 1975 and is the longest theatrically released film in history.

I honestly don’t understand why there aren’t more people who, when given the platform to discuss minimum wage, don’t simply distill it to the simplest of facts:

A forty hour work week is considered full time.

It’s considered as such because it takes up the amount of time we as a society have agreed should be considered the maximum work schedule required of an employee. (this, of course, does not always bear out practically, but just follow me here)

A person working the maximum amount of time required should earn enough for that labor to be able to survive. Phrased this way, I doubt even most conservatives could effectively argue against it, and out of the mouth of someone verbally deft enough to dance around the pathos-based jabs conservative pundits like to use to avoid actually debating, it could actually get opps thinking.

Therefore, if an employee is being paid less than [number of dollars needed for the post-tax total to pay for the basic necessities in a given area divided by forty] per hour, they are being ripped off and essentially having their labor, productivity, and profit generation value stolen by their employer.

Wages are a business expense, and if a company cannot afford to pay for its labor, it is by definition a failing business. A company stealing labor to stay afloat (without even touching those that do so simply to increase profit margins and/or management/executive pay/bonuses) is no more ethical than a failing construction company breaking into a lumber yard and stealing wood.

Our goal as a society should be to protect each other, especially those that most need protection, not to subsidize failing businesses whose owners could quite well subsidize them on their own.
