What Nemiah is doing is admirable, but an 11-year-old should not have to raise money to keep her mother alive in the wealthiest country in the world. Health care must be a right. #MedicareForAll https://t.co/WRL3PZZ493
The most authentic way to honor my father is to commit to the work of creating a more peaceful, just, humane world. Let quotes coincide with conscious efforts to eradicate poverty, militarism and racism (privilege + power = oppressive policies + culture). #MLK50Forward#MLK
The situation in Gaza is desperate. The unrest in Gaza will not end until the people there see hope for a decent future. The U.S. must work to bring Israel and the Palestinians together to end the blockade and develop policies that works for all. https://t.co/9eUhjSKn0h
Here's the story that Trump failed to mention: since March, the three richest people in America saw their wealth increase by more than $68 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker saw an increase of—are you ready for this—4 cents an hour. #BernieResponds
So black unemployment is at an all time low since it began getting recorded only 40 years ago... YET it's still DOUBLE the unemployment rate of white folx. If the black unemployment rate were the American unemployment rate, we would be in a straight up RECESSION rn #SOTU
Mitch McConnell is many things but he’s not dumb. He knows how to count. Bringing up a vote he knew was doomed an hour before the government shut down was absolutely irresponsible. This falls on his shoulders.
@LIRR get your shit together, commuters are people too not just $$ machines. Today the LIRR hit a new unsanitary low, hopefully I don't start mutating #staytuned#shithole
Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.
Please, politicians:
Tomorrow, when you tweet/comment about honoring #MLK, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism (privilege + power = unjust, discriminatory policies & systems), poverty & war.
Then, work to enact policies that reflect your #MLKDay sentiments.
Happy holidays to the lgbt youth out there trying to survive in a hostile family environment this holiday season. I'm thinking of you all, and I wish you love and safety.
