Americans will do the right thing, if only to prevent riots.
If only that.
Or we could stop killing black people and, in general, stop allowing the police to kill people. radical idea I know.
By the way: protest is actually protected by the First Amendment.
@DrTomFrieden So you have an obligation to advocate for Universal Health Care and UBI. Why are you not explicitly calling for these? Is there a better time than now or a more urgent time than now?
@ewarren Yes, heaven forbid we do something about this new source of generational poverty that's brewing. Heaven forbid a person is able to take a few years of classes, in most cases to be employable--and let's try to remember that academic work is work-- and not want a debt sentence.
Student loan payments are on pause right now—but that pause ends September 30. Payments will start hitting families, and that could send millions over a financial cliff. Canceling student debt is good for borrowers and good for our whole economy. https://t.co/4TUVX1M6Uu
Everyone in America who’s 16 or older is now eligible for the vaccine. It is safe, it is effective, and it is our best chance to save lives and end this pandemic.
George Floyd's family and community deserved for his killer to be held accountable.
Today, they got that accountability.
Always and forever, Black lives matter.
PART OF WHY HOMELESSNESS IS SO BAD IN AMERICA: So many programs are restricted to people homeless 1 year or more - they think that's some kind of prioritization ...in fact, it's actually cruel to make people have to be homeless for 'certain amount of time' before decent shelter.
My heart goes out to the loved ones of Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright and everyone who’s reeling from these horrifying killings. We must reimagine our criminal justice system and root systemic racism out of every institution.
Another child killed by police.
Another community mourning victims of a mass shooting.
Going to work, walking in the street, or being Black, Latino, or Asian American should not be a death sentence.
Cost to manufacture 1 vial of insulin: Around $6
Cost of 1 vial of insulin for consumers:
🇫🇷: $9
🇩🇪: $11
🇯🇵: $14
🇦🇺: $7
🇬🇧: $7
🇨🇦: $12
🇺🇸: $98
The American people should not be forced to pay the highest prices on the planet for prescription drugs.
More than half of older Americans say they've avoided going to the dentist because of the cost, while 1 in 5 Americans over the age of 65 have untreated cavities, and 2 in 3 have gum disease. This is not a reality I believe we should accept in the richest country on the planet.
Just a friendly reminder that the pandemic has truly shown how illigitimate the #DrugWar is, how wrong it is to police individuals for what they put in their bodies so long as they are quiet & nonviolent, as the majority of #cannabis users are. Now stop taxing it to death, CA.
