Feds: Approved

Lloyd Blankfein: I need $824 billion for Goldman Sachs
Feds: Approved

Charles Koch: I need a $1.4 billion tax break
Feds: Approved

Average Joe: My wife got cancer. Can we get Medicare?
Feds: We're bankrupt

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

“The extreme left is taking over” WHERE. In Texas, Republicans passed a law allowing rapists to sue their victims for getting an abortion.

Can anyone name a “far left” policy that extreme implemented anywhere? We can’t even get our party to import cheaper RXs from Canada. foh

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

It is terribly inhumane to block pathways out of poverty because you didn’t need those pathways.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Billionaires be like “the extreme far left is taking over” when the “extreme far left” in the US is “medicine shouldn’t bankrupt you,” “wages should cover rent,” & “maybe it’s bad that Wall St companies profit off mass surveillance, manufactured housing crises, and caging people”

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

I'm not sure how many times I need to repeat this statistic for it to sink in but, around 40% of Americans who take out student loans do not end up with a degree.

There is no more damning stat in all of higher ed.

[Haymarket Books @haymarketbooks]

On April 28, 1967 Muhammad Ali refused to be drafted to fight in Vietnam.

“I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I'll go to jail, so what? We've been in jail for 400 years.”

[Anne Chillingworth Shaffer @professoranne]

97% House Apprisers are white?!! Can this profession be changed?!!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Raskin goes off on Marjorie Taylor Greene: Gentlelady talked about a massive invasion. We had a massive invasion of our own chamber and she continued to be a cheerleader for the insurrection

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Remember how we got Obama's White House visitor logs, and then Trump fought us tooth and nail in court to block us from getting his?

There's a reason for that.

#SUSocialWork this is horrific that parents would rather murder their own kids than accept their identity. I hope this resource helps keeps kids safe and provides them with the help they need.

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

I wonder why queer teenagers would need to protect their privacy

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Federal Income Taxes Paid in 2021:

$0: AT&T
$0: AIG
$0: Dow
$0: Charter Communications
$0: Salesforce
$0: Duke Energy
$0: Kinder Morgan

Combined profits: $55.6 billion

But we're told inflation is rising because a worker got a 50 cent raise & a $1,400 check. #TaxTheRich

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Disney hits back HARD at Ron DeSantis and the GOP — says that Florida can't legally dissolve its self-governing district unless the state pays off the district's $1 billion debts due to a pledge in the original 1967 law. RT IF YOU STAND WITH DISNEY AGAINST THE GOP!

[Kari C. @SWKariC]

#SUSocialWork White supremacists rank races based on their proximity to whiteness & give Asian people the “model minority” stereotype, but none of that matters when it comes to positions of power. They are still shut out like other people of color.

[USA TODAY Money @USATODAYmoney]

Asian women are half as likely as their white female counterparts to hold an executive role. That disparity is on par with statistics for Black and Hispanic women.

“Last chance”: Greens push climate compromise with Manchin - POLITICO #SUSocialWork We don’t have time for compromises when it comes to climate change, if we don’t make changes now the damage to the planet will be irreversible https://t.co/A5ic7DtFKY

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Medicare for All is not radical. Guaranteed health care is the norm for every other industrialized country on the planet.

What’s radical is allowing Big Pharma to make millions while we go bankrupt.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

Elon Musk owns Twitter.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

[Kari C. @SWKariC]

#SUSocialWork I don’t think that anyone that supported the attempted coup on our government has any place serving that same government as a member of congress

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Ginni Thomas has got to go.

Tell President Biden to remove her from the Library of Congress Trust Fund Board now:

[I Smoked Lindsey Graham @BlackKnight10k]

Republicans in Florida are literally using the power of the government to punish Disney's 1st Amendment right to free speech.

[Kari C. @SWKariC]

People will see this and still say we don’t need any gun control reform #SUSocialWork

[NBC News @NBCNews]

Guns became the leading cause of death among children and teens in 2020, killing more people ages 1 to 19 in the U.S. than vehicle crashes, drugs overdoses or cancer. https://t.co/dPYtfvOctS

[Kari C. @SWKariC]

So Puerto Ricans are American citizens but aren’t allowed the same rights as the rest of America citizens? #SUSocialWork

[HuffPost @HuffPost]

JUST IN: In an 8-1 decision, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Puerto Rico residents seeking equal access to government benefits as American citizens. https://t.co/KqbiglrUSX
