Education is not memorising that Hitler killed millions of innocent people. Education is understanding how millions of people were convinced that it was required. Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself.

I spoke to more than a dozen unhoused residents in LA over the last 9 months about "sweeps." The majority of whom said they've lost belongings such as cell phones, clothes, money, computers, bikes and other belongings to encampment clearings. @lataco

An unhoused man who just got off of work "lost everything" during a sweep in Westlake when he returned to his tent and LAPD officers refused to let him retrieve his belongings (before they were tossed).

43 Republican Senators with UNLIMITED paid sick leave voted against providing rail workers just SEVEN days off to care for themselves or loved ones.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The United States, sadly, is the only major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick days. Pathetic. In a modern civilized society, it should be a no-brainer that if you or your family gets sick, you should have paid sick leave. End of discussion.

[Lauren Kaori Gurley @LaurenKGurley]

BREAKING: The Senate voted down a deal, 52-43 that would have granted rail workers 7 paid sick days.

This was the crux of the rail strike standoff. Railroad workers in the U.S. do not receive a single paid sick day.

I’m going to say something personal. When the former president of the United States has dinner with three antisemites, and one of those men goes on to praise Hitler, and the former president says nothing to condemn him, it’s genuinely scary as a Jew.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

When teachers strike the focus is how it's bad for students. When nurses strike the focus is how it's bad for patients. When railroad workers strike the focus is how it's bad for the economy. So who's left out, every time? Workers.

The only mugshot I’ll ever share. This is the Club Q shooter.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The Respect for Marriage Act will ensure that LGBTQ+ and interracial couples are respected and protected equally under federal law. I urge Congress to quickly send this bill to my desk, where I will promptly sign it into law.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

pretty insane that people say “can we please not politicize this tragedy” about a tragedy that happened because of politics

“This was our only safe space in Colorado Springs. Where are we going to go?”

Take two minutes and watch this.

This man has thrown bricks at the window of @versbarnyc FOUR times in recent weeks. These are hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community. Please help us identify him. If you have any information, please contact @NYPDHateCrimes at [email protected] or 1-888-440-HATE.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

This mass shooting in Colorado Springs is horrifying and exactly what LGBTQ organizations and leaders have been warning would happen if the violent rhetoric toward our community continued. This is what happens when hateful propaganda goes unchecked.

Y’all. We’re not doing this again, right?We had four years that felt like a nightmare and that was that…right?

[bug girl @buggirl]

this might sound cynical but i’ve always wondered why no billionaire has singlehandedly funded the halting/reversal of climate change solely for the sake of satisfying their narcissism by being able to say they literally saved the entire human race
