We asked @inthesetimesmag to increase intern stipends last month. 1 letter and it immediately went from $750/month for 16-40 hours/week to $1440 for 24 hours/week. That's $15 an hour! Proud to work for an org that honors workers and their needs. 🔥 https://t.co/uKTx8XeGVh

sure, ITT cares about redistribution of wealth

sure, we know workers ought to own the value of their labor

but we also have a gilded age outlet made of pure gold

Why does this endorsement (moot now, sure) make SO MucH SENSE

Stop telling youth you're "inspired" by our climate action when you are unwilling to vote for a climate leader who will protect our futures. #BernieForPresident

[Nathaniel Stinnett @NCStinn]

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.

People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.

Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.

People: No way.

Charging $1750 to get in the door of the Democratic primary debate is such a good metaphor for the party

[Miles Kampf-Lassin @MilesKLassin]

When I saw that military-style tanks were rolling into Chicago I figured it had something to do with the socialist youth congregating for the @YDSA_ conference this weekend, but turns out they’re just for some Yeezy shoe release coinciding with the NBA All-Star game? Phew.

Pay attention to the Gerald Reed case. Send this to your valentine, mami, papi, tio, tia, primos etc etc

#FreeGeraldReed we need to hold Judge Horrible Hennelly accountable for this grave injustice, and we need all hands on deck to do so.

Dakota Access and Energy Transfer are trying to double DAPL’s oil capacity, after 10+ spills. The Illinois Commerce Commission is waiting to approve this decision - because people are fighting back.

Proud to present my first piece for @belt_magazine. https://t.co/b5JwtXOZ12
