This beautiful Black girl was walking through a park with her mom when a patrol car pulled up. Fearful, she immediately put her hands up and cried. Turns out the officer just wanted to greet her. It’s so heartbreaking how traumatized our babies are 😢💔 #BlackLivesMatter

How to make a quick buck during a pandemic:

1) You’re a member of Congress who trades stocks based on private briefings.

2) You’re a wealthy GOP donor who scores federal bailouts.

3) You’re a drug company that uses publicly funded research for private profit.

My 8yo is in an ER bed right now. He’s scared and ALONE without his mom. Not even allowed his 🧸 because of #COVIDー19

And you’re mad because you can’t go to the beach?!

People with disabilities are more likely to live in poverty & to work low-wage jobs without health care or paid sick leave. Congress should recognize these injustices & prioritize the unique needs of people with disabilities in the next relief package. https://t.co/y0iPLNqzN9

As 22M Americans file for unemployment and scramble to put food on the table, America’s billionaires got $282 billion richer in less than a month.

This socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest is despicable in normal times—in times of crisis, it’s morally repugnant.
