Let’s be clear: 50 immigrants lost their lives in San Antonio because of a clear failure in leadership at all levels of government. To ensure that tragedies like this never happen again, @POTUS must end #RemainInMexico and #Title42 NOW. via @RAICESTEXAS

Migrant children detained at the EIS in Pecos, TX are living in horrific conditions. @RAICESTexas attorneys and clients report cage-like conditions, raw chicken served at mealtimes and more. @SecBecerra must #ShutDownPecos now. https://t.co/JCtFHDE7NU

Thread: Travis County! On Tuesday (6/8) your county commissioners will vote for or against building a new jail for women.

Call [phone] now to be connected to county commissioners and their staff to tell them NO new jails in Travis Co.

Below is a sample script!

In 1949, a Polish Holocaust survivor named Genya Kowalski was offered a Palestinian house in Haifa. She refused, saying: "I don’t want to live [in a house] of people who were thrown out...a human being is a human being.” We can be her heirs today https://t.co/LCLdCqwCRr

Michael Penn is one of the all time great songwriters and this song will make you weep. First song released in 15 years!

So excited to announce a secret project led by @BreoganHackett. We're releasing a Flatgame Maker!

We hope it will be a tool that ANYONE can use to make games with. Draw something, show it to your webcam and make it move.

You can get paws on it in November. :3

McCaul's "office" is hidden inside an unmarked room in a giant Bank of America building. I've called dozens of times and of course haven't spoken to him. He's never even held a town hall!

I'm excited to phone bank for Mike tonight with @ETO_PAC! https://t.co/V1QVW5l1mj

this was super helpful and grounding

"We've got an actual gig coming up soon! That'll be deadly.
I wish we were a bit more focused on the music though."

Our game If Found... releases on the Switch this Thursday. 😍

heavyweight is back! even in the midst of a weird production year (not sure if you guys have heard about this virus?), we have some episodes I think are really special & this is one of them, I hope you’ll listen

Remember: watching the news today will not make a difference, except maybe to destroy your own nervous system. But volunteering/phone banking/text banking to GOTV actually does make a difference, and can improve your mental health. (I am not a doctor but a typical test case).

WOOOW. A Canadian research project gave homeless people $7,500 each — the results were 'beautifully surprising'.

Turns out: basic income for the homeless pays for itself. It's free money, because 'the project saved the shelter system $8,100 per person'.

Ok. Okaaay.

I didn't want to respond to the Atlantic piece about how Trump can steal the election by flipping electors in states with GOP held legislatures, but I will.

Here's my take.
