When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be! -Cervantes, Don Quixote

Paul Robeson was the son of a man who escaped slavery. He was a world renowned singer and actor. And he chose to spend his life fighting for oppressed people and against fascism. And the US government tried to destroy him. https://t.co/xCLHvhmgHq

CDC is flat out wrong. CDC was once crown jewel of world in public health. Now it’s a political Trump shop - eg saying “CDC does not recommend entry testing of all returning students, faculty, and staff” (to campuses). this is insane. Thread 🧵. #COVID19 https://t.co/K7GIVcqJyt

So instead of going to the healthcare agency of public health scientists, epidemiologists, etc. health data is going to go to the political entity who’s spent months trying to downplay this deadly virus?

There is no low. Hollywood’s ‘Contagion’ didn’t account for fascism.

@chancetherapper @chancetherapper You are spot on with your concern of the two party system. I invite you to look into my campaign. I am running for VP with @HowieHawkins. And YES we are for reparations. And YES we will be on the ballot in November.

Alonzo Brooks, I'm sorry you had such shitty friends to leave you there. 😞 #UnsolvedMysteries

If you need COVID-19 test right now, even with symptoms like high fever & you are an essential worker, wait time is about 10 days. Just to get tested. That’s disastrous, dangerous unacceptable. I’ve asked DPH what they’re doing to change this. This is incredibly urgent. @SF_DPH?

The lost innocence of children (and of us all) is rooted in the rotten soil of the amnesia nations need to grow and harvest their strange and rotten fruit. #Unforgetting

Do you know why @SpeakerPelosi is worth $120 million?

Corruption.

She’s used her position of power not to advance the people’s interests, but to advance her financial interests & her corporate donors’ interests.

Vote for @ShahidForChange.

El proyecto estrella de #Bolivia es el litio de Uyuni, pero para la derecha es entregándolo a EE.UU. mientras que para nosotros, en homenaje a la lucha del pueblo potosino y de sus ex Comités Cívicos, es con el Estado; así se hizo la planta de cloruro de potasio, hoy paralizada.

1/"Our message to the corporate media is do you jobs as journalists. Cover the issues, not just the horse race. I’m looking at you NPR, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, NY Times. You’ve been acting like state media for the 2-party corporate state." @HowieHawkins

Perhaps someone smarter than me can explain why the U.S. public pays for development of drugs only to allow private drug companies to then acquire the patent & charge the public exorbitant prices for those same drugs the public paid for. Is this not the madness of capitalism?

Ok, my favorite line so far...

"Start with what should be obvious: Congress established
a reservation for the Creeks."

Gorsuch is embarrassing some of the other Justices.
