I run with my children to get well-made food and drinks. Luckily they're cute so we don't get kicked out much.

#OTD in 1979 the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant suffered a partial meltdown. A less well-known but even more disastrous radioactive accident occurred in the Navajo Nation later that year. #Distillations https://t.co/jxxApTkRrc

Holy. Shit.

Boulder, Colorado passed an assault weapons ban in 2018.

The NRA sued the city and a judge struck down the ban 10 DAYS GO.

The Boulder shooter bought the gun 6 DAYS before the shooting.

These deaths were the direct result of the NRA’s intervention.

We lost Ahmaud Arbery to racist violence. He is not forgotten and his death serves as a reminder that our country has many miles to walk together before we can even approach equality. In memory today we run 2.23 miles. #AhmaudArbery Rest in Power 🖤

The whole conversation about the GND “killing jobs” is a fossil fuel lobbyist talking point that neglects the fact that MILLIONS more jobs stand to be created by investing in building a national grid, installing millions of solar panels, wind turbines, new infrastructure, etc.

Kids were ripped from their parents’ arms, and now they can't find their parents.

Those kids are alone. With nowhere to go.

It’s criminal.

Amid the political noise, this story deserves a bit more attention:

New analysis finds that Biden's free college plan would pay for itself in 10 years, due to an increase in earnings and tax revenues. The plan also helps correct racial inequities. https://t.co/vlWLG7JTOG

THIS, from Senator @CoryBooker:

“Nothing about this today is normal. This is not normal. What is going on in America today, in the midst of a deadly pandemic and an ongoing election, having a rushed Supreme Court nomination hearing IS NOT NORMAL and we cannot normalize it.”
