American children are starting 2022 in crisis.

I'm not sure that many people fully grasp the depth of it.

[Colin Kaepernick @Kaepernick7]

While the NFL runs propaganda about how they care about Black Life, they are still actively blackballing Eric Reid (@E_Reid35) for fighting for the Black community. Eric set 2 franchise records last year, and is one of the best defensive players in the league.

It’s that time! Welcome back to another #Fuck12Friday. Today we are exploring police unions - their history, how they differ from other labor unions, and the particulars of how they resist accountability and progress.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

It’s funny how Democrats &Republicans can join forces w/out hesitation to enrich the military industrial complex, but go on months long recess without addressing the needs of the poor, working poor & barely middle class during a global pandemic. Ladies and Gentlemen: The Congress

[Jenny Jinx 🍉 ™®©° @Jennyjinx]

So Biden is against defunding the police; against ending qualified immunity; against Medicare for all, FOR fracking; and for more wars. Even after everything that's happened.

There's no pushing him left. We can't even push him into the 21st century.

[Howie Hawkins @HowieHawkins]

This is not my #GreenNewDeal. The Dems do no support immediate halt to fossil fuel infrastructure or fracking; They promote carbon capture and nuclear. Promote private profits, not public ownership/democratic control of energy. I say 2030 for zero emissions; Dems "net-zero" 2050.

[Latinx Socialists of America @LatinxSocUS]

A peer-reviewed article says that #COVID19 treatment, Rendesivir, should cost $0.93 per day of treatment. That estimate INCLUDES profit.

Gilead, the company producing Remdesivir, says it will sell it for $390 or $520 for private insurance.

That's a 41,935% or 55,900% mark up.

If only we weren't apex predators, who can't survive without eating meat, and so have to buy prepackaged plastic-wrapped bacon from the meat isle of the supermarket to drive home and fry on an induction hob, just like our ancestors and the mighty lion in the circle of life.

[Howie Hawkins @HowieHawkins]

I'm running to tackle life-or-death issues the 2 corporate parties won't: economic inequality that's killing the working class, a climate crisis burning from the Amazon to Siberia, & the new doomsday nuclear arms race. We have solutions; Biden/Trump don't. https://t.co/MBNiCrkIvT

@RMHSBOYSXCTF @MarathonMustang Are you finally not sleeping on me?!?

[Mustang Marathon @MarathonMustang]

Our next preview is of Aidan
Aidan is the odds on favorite to win this year’s marathon, showing how much things can change year to year. Last year Aidan gave everything he could but was unable to finish. This year Aidan is back with proper training and hoping to bring home a win.

[David Doel @daviddoel]

A good reminder that Democratic leaders never move the needle, people-powered movements do.

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

They have compiled more than 400 videos—documentary evidence of the law and order of brutal policing in the United States of America.

As an international socialist I confess this truth to be self evident

[Tom Cotton @TomCottonAR]

First, it was "abolish ICE".

Now, they want to defund the local police who keep us safe.

What is next—disband the military?
