I interviewed Carol Mayorga who has been working as a housekeeper in Pacific Palisades for 20 years. When the fire swept through, nearly 10 properties she and her husband worked at burned down. Now they have no income. Please read. W/ @LATvives

It’s the being called, “lazy” and “entitled” for me 😞
But when we entered the workforce, we were met with stagnant wages, a skyrocketing cost of living, & overall lower quality of life than any generation that came before us. We were called ‘entitled’ & ‘lazy’, despite often working multiple jobs we were vastly overqualified for. 3/

This whole thread perfectly encapsulates how I feel as a disappointed elder millennial 😢
Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today: – Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them.
