Some are calling for Juneteenth to be a national holiday. How about we go further & pass healthcare & living wages for all, a fully restored Voting Rights Act & reparations, etc. Please don’t just ask for a holiday. Let’s make it a holy day of repentance & reconstruction.
Republicans are going nuts about the $600 per week expanded unemployment benefits that workers now receive. Imagine that! Americans not forced to live on starvation wages. What a frightening precedent. What will they want next? Health care as a human right?
@RIPTA_RI Very concerned question: since @GovRaimondo just altered the max gathering from 100 to 25 people, are we really going to make older or immunocompromised @RIPTA_RI drivers expose themselves daily to busses that seat an avg. of 63* people when ridership is only down 1%*? 1/2
@RIPTA_RI@GovRaimondo Agreed, the lifeline that is our public transportation system is invaluable and shutting it down would burden the most vulnerable in our community. Giving *some* of the dedicated RIPTA employees leave—those in the very high risk category—would protect drivers AND riders.
BREAKING: ACA open enrollment ends December 15, and due to Trump’s efforts, only 5% of the uninsured know this is the deadline.
Please consider sharing. Everything you need to know. #ACA#GetCovered
Man, it's a good thing no black women were out front for months and years, leading the calls for impeachment, and getting attacked by the president and catching death threats for it. Cause if there were this story would really piss me off.
OH WAIT.

Many immigrants rights advocates believe "the largest immigration raid in decades" is retaliation for facilities being investigated after workers make sexual misconduct complaints.
This is why undocumented survivors don't report or seek support.

This is madness. ICE tried to raid a *homeless shelter* in NYC on Tuesday night. Lied that they had a warrant. Thankfully, security guards knew their rights & asked to see it. They showed a random photo. They didnt have a warrant. They were forced to leave.https://t.co/OSQjpV6UTZ
Many children did not have parents to come home to after the devastating @ICEgov raid yesterday. ICE is causing confusion, fear, and trauma for these kids. https://t.co/98rWEnmMBX
"These children who some are as young as toddlers were relying on neighbors and even strangers to pick them up outside their homes after school and drive them to a community fitness center where people tried to keep them calm." https://t.co/i75vzJmEx9
It only takes a second to share. Our story about little Wade Hosey of Washington has been picked up as a national story. Word is getting out about the miracle he needs to have a normal life. https://t.co/037jopEm33
This is what the Trump Admin is arguing in court today:
- Health care is a privilege
- Preexisting conditions can be disqualifying
- Low-income patients can't be treated
- Addiction treatment can't be covered
- This nation is too weak to care for all citizens

The children at these detention centers will have suffered significant harm and trauma after being in these facilities for months at a time. I am horrified by the treatment of migrant children I just witnessed. They are not equipped for this. #DemsAtTheBorder#DontLookAway
We were met with hostility from the guards, but this is nothing compared to their treatment of the people being held.
The detainees are constantly abused and verbally harassed with no cause. Deprived physically and dehumanized mentally - everyday.
This is a human rights issue.
Just left the 1st CBP facility.
I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me.
Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.
This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.
