@NaomieHarris Did you know you had a historical double? The foremost Black US Vaudeville star of early 20th, Aida Overton Walker. Sure ur not related?

If you're a public official and you're frightened of the public seeing a record of what you've done, if you're worried the public will be angry w/ you when they see it, you have thoroughly justified making those records public. #ncpol #ncga #AndrewBrownJr #BlackLivesMatter

Wait....Wright was stopped bc of an expired tag. Questioner asks the police chief if he was aware of a months-long backlog in getting new license tags. He said he was and said he told his police officers. So, then, um.....

For over 10 days now, around half the residents of Jackson, Mississippi have not had running water.

And nobody is talking about it on a national scale.

I am begging the national media to please pay attention. There is a crisis happening in Jackson.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

There is a deep problem in our democracy when the Executive branch is willing to bend over backwards to defer to arcane Senate rules to deny Americans a $15 wage but at the same time ride roughshod over Congressional rules & procedures to launch military strikes abroad.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Abolish the filibuster.

Replace the parliamentarian.

What’s a Democratic majority if we can’t pass our priority bills? This is unacceptable.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

A study by Purdue university shows that a $15 minimum wage for McDonald’s workers would raise the cost of a big mac by just 17 cents. Share if you wouldn’t mind paying a little extra for your meal if the person who made it could earn a living wage!

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Sorry we're not going to be able to do the $2000 checks thing, or the cancelling student debt thing, or the $15 minimum wage thing. Would you accept payment in the form of social media "dunking" on Senate Republicans instead?

Today marks 1 month that Biden has not fulfilled his pledge to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin say a $15 minimum wage doesn’t belong in a Covid relief bill.

Here’s what I say: if you’re not willing to help people suffering during a pandemic, you don’t belong in Congress.

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

Dems fight for a $15 minimum wage, when it should be over $20.

Dems fight for a $1400 one-time payment when it should be $3K monthly.

Dems expand the child cages when they should shut them down.

Dems politely ask ICE to be nice when they should abolish ICE.

Notice a pattern?
