Just read @kevinroose article about the auction of his NFT and challenge of getting the crypto to the NYT Neediest Cases fund. He needs to check out endaoment. https://t.co/U8mdc9LSC0

@CoryBooker I have heard today’s speech by your jr. Senate colleague Rev Warnock.
S1 needs to become the law of the land. Nuke the filibuster!

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

@JerasIkehorn ✋Not ever.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

And Donald Trump is being aided and abetted by a group of Republican House and Senate members.

This is on them, as well.

We must rise from this nadir of shame. We must repair our democracy. We must heal our nation.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

On August 24, 1814, the British stormed our Capitol and set fire to it.

Now the Capitol has again been breached and sieged.

Donald Trump incited this. He is responsible for this. And he is silent as this tragic moment continues.

@nathaniel_lewis I caught my breath at this image too, Nate. You are spot on.
The Civil War ain’t over yet.

@NuggsyMusic @RepKatiePorter Biz’s should be liable!
I run a business, too.
We have followed science and strict protocols since Mid-March: Masks, staggered shifts, alternating schedules to maintain social distancing.Testing every 2-3 weeks. Everyone.
And you know what? Our data shows zero spread on-site.

via ⁦⁦@nytimes⁩ we @organictrade and #organicfarming folks need to make it clear to Biden transition team that Vilsack as Ag Sec’y is no way to recognize who got him elected. How about Fudge or Espy? https://t.co/yLBCame6pW

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

@SenBooker @SenatorMenendez
And let’s not forget him firing Shirley Sherrod!

[Food First @foodfirstorg]

Under Obama, Tom Vilsack presided over corporate ag consolidation, partial privatization of meat inspections, failures to address civil rights violations, and more. Biden is signaling "nothing will fundamentally change" in the USDA by putting Vilsack back as #USDA secretary.

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

@SenBooker Please nix the Tom Vilsack redux at USDA in support of the same folks your “Justice for Black Farmers Act”aims to support. #foodjustice #organictrade #agriculturalreparations

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

Rep. Martha Fudge heading HUD? She would do more good as head of USDA-turned- Wellness and Nutrition Equity Agency. A Tom Vilsack Sec’y of USDA redux is not the bold move Prez-Elect Biden.
@OrganicTrade, @USDAorganic #foodforpeople, #foodjustice

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

@CoryBooker @USDA Yes!!! Go Cory.
Totally with you on this.
And while we are at it, let’s make the USDA the Federal Agency of Food Equality and Well Being.
Rep. Martha Fudge would make a great Sec’y!

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

Time to drop the balloons!!!

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

It is concerning that #NOSB is removing some colors from 606 in the absence of evidence that organic ag starting materials are actually being processed into the colors needed for competitive #organic retail products.

[Organic Trade @OrganicTrade]

.#NOSB unanimously votes RELIST Sodium Bicarbonate, #BakingPowder #LeaveningAgent #ThankGoodness

[Organic Trade @OrganicTrade]

The motion to approve the Handling Subcommittee recommendation on ion exchange FAILS. The proposal will go back to subcommittee for more work. Yes: 9 No: 6 #NOSB #ToughJob #ComplexTopic

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

Deep dive by #NOSB on how/what parts of Ion Exchange process should be listed for use in #organic. Looks like legal opinion will be needed to move forward.

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

@CoryBooker Me and my 88-year old mom both dropped our ballots in the Ballot Dropbox in Bergenfield today.
Two more votes for you and Joe.
Keep fighting!

[Matthew Weinstein @MBWeinstein]

Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers.

I will be getting covid tested tomorrow, fingers crossed!

[Julie Weisman @Jul1esw]

I knew it!!! That WAS a big fly that actually landed right on VP Pence’s lily white head.😂😂😂

That's not on your TV. It's on his head.
