Hawks for Bernie

We won the state primary, then lost the national race, but Hawks for Bernie will continue to build our collective political pressure. Black Lives Matter.

Hey @uiowa why haven’t you required the entire horde of germ ridden college kids who largely don’t give a fuck about mitigation measures to get the vaccine before infesting our town and killing people

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

We're barrelling head first into a cataclysmic climate disaster of planetary scale, and our governments and economies are COMPLETELY disregarding the emergency exit that would spare us. We're not going to make it, and it's not because "solutions" don't exist.
A 🧵, I guess.

Iowa web developer Brian Finley, who created @IAVaccineAlerts did for the state what our governor @KimReynoldsIA failed to do ... established a centralized platform for vaccine appts while concurrently sparking a movement urging Iowans to support older, disabled & vulnerable

If you want to participate in furthering the goals of the TRC, please shoot me a DM so we can coordinate a time for you to assist with our policing, housing, education, and/or budget subcommittees. We’re coming into the resumption of the TRC on April 15th fully loaded.

[Oliver Weilein, Iowa City Councilor @Ollie_XVX]

Please make your voice heard tonight at the meeting, and tell them NOT to stop the work that the TRC is now finally able to do, just because they don’t like who is currently in charge. Register here https://t.co/2DBo13eQfm

[Kimberly Graham for Polk County Attorney @KimberlyforIowa]

Since the US Senate race, I've been keeping my eyes open for an opportunity to run for an office where I can forward justice in our communities. I want to use my education and 20+ years as a lawyer to change things for the better.

I'm exploring a run for Polk County Attorney.

Reasons why @uiowa is making me want to drop out: a thread

1. I pay over $10k/yr to attend a school that doesn’t care about their students, especially in a pandemic. They refuse to bring back Pass/nonpass even though they see that life is harder for everyone right now.
