Education for respect, peace, and equity.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

House Republicans want to impose a national sales tax, while giving more tax breaks to the rich. The result? Higher costs for working families on everything from gas to groceries. It's outrageous.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

What does it say about the US justice system that over two years after the Capitol attack and deadly insurrection, its ringleader is not only still unindicted, he’s still inciting violence and plotting to retake office?

[Victoria Brownworth @VABVOX]

There have been 3,530 people killed by police since George Floyd. They are disproportionately Black. This is a crisis.

RT/💙 if you agree that Congress must pass police reform.

1923: Hitler’s coup failed. No real consequences, no changes. 10 years later he and his co-conspirators took over Germany.

2021: Trump’s coup failed. No real consequences, no changes. 2 years later he is running for president and his co-conspirators are members of Congress.

In light of the McGonigal arrest, who was recruited by Deripaska with a favor, I wonder what favor the Kremlin did for McConnell to get sanctions lifted on Rusal so he could partner with them to build that aluminum plant in KY. 1/

Just HOURS ago DeSantis announced that Floridians would be able to carry a gun without a permit

Well, guess what?! 9 people were just shot in a mass shooting in Florida

DeSantis has blood on his hands & hopes to pave his road to the White House with the dead bodies of Americans

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

There was literally a mass shooting in Lakeland, Florida that has left at least 9 people injured just now. Maybe let’s not weaken gun laws by passing permitless carry in Florida. Just a thought.

[Dylan Ogline @DylanOgline]

It's crazy that a struggling single mother getting assistance can be billed as getting a dirty nasty "handout", that she is lazy and needs to get a job.

But the same thing given to a corporation? Oh that's just a positive subsidy!

That make sense to you?

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

After getting taxpayer help to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna made $12 billion in net income in 2021 and juiced their CEO’s pay by 41%. Now apparently they’re considering quadrupling the vaccine price, up to $130 a dose.

Corporate greed can’t come before public health.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

DeSantis isn’t a great guy. But introducing permit-less carry right before the 5 year anniversary of one of the largest school shootings in American history in Parkland is a new low.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.

[Dylan Ogline @DylanOgline]

Just saw somebody try to argue that minimum wage isn't supposed to be a living wage. That their small business can't afford to pay a living wage.

If the only way your business can exist is the exploitation of labor (aka peoples actual lives), then your business should not exist.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When people are literally dying from mass shootings and police brutality in our country, but our culture just hears the loudest voices in Christianity protesting drag queens and books, we can’t expect people to believe our religion has anything to do with life conquering death.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Quick Poll: Should billionaires be taxed more? Yes or no

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Never forget that the 25 richest people in America paid a true tax rate of just 3.4% between 2014 and 2018 on over $400 billion in wealth gains. The rest of America paid an average of 13.3% in 2018.

[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

Bearing witness to atrocities and having evidence that they existed is vital. But lynching photographs were used as postcards. They didn’t make people stop the practice

[Noah Rosenblum @narosenblum]

Thank you Senator!

@GovKathyHochul there is no shame in recognizing that you misread the political moment, and there is still time to change course without embarrassment. LaSalle would have been a largely uncontroversial nominee even just three years ago. (1/4)

[Kaeleigh @kaefair]

14 Senators have now publicly said they will vote #NoOnLaSalle.

So we ask again, because it’s getting worse each day—where is the bravery of our remaining Manhattan senators to do the right thing?
