I don’t know who needs to hear this, but attorney general in Kentucky (and in most states) is an elected position.

Amazing thread:

Revolutionary books that can guide us during this time 🖤

De-escalation can work.

Letting people make their voices heard is the right approach.

But it needs to be the first response, and here it came only after intervening in yet another case of aggressive policing against nonviolent protesters.

Running this puts black @nytimes staff in danger, and black Americans everywhere.

Want to reform American police? We need higher standards, experts say.

There are currently no federal standards for police officers.

Federal lawmakers could establish such guidelines.

States could also individually up their licensing requirements.

For leaders enforcing a curfew, what plans are in place to protect ppl experiencing homelessness (yet another crisis disproportionately facing Black Americans)?

Genuinely wondering. Feel free to share what you see here.

Without a plan, the homeless will be subject to violence.

If the Airbnb listing has a “Good Vibes Only” piece displayed its an immediate swipe left situation.

@shaunking Thank you!

I know there are a lot of men out there who have partners who've had abortions. It's time for you to speak up and be allies. Women don't get pregnant alone.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Before we won, climate issues were ranked very low in nat’l voter priorities.

Thanks to risk-taking activism, it’s now consistently ranked as a #1 or at least a top 3 issue for many voters.

Leadership is often about choice: take the temperature, or change the thermostat.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

“6 weeks pregnant” = 2 weeks late on your period.

Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it. It’s relatively common for a woman to have a late period + not be pregnant.

So this is a backdoor ban.

LA can go fuck right off!

All juices and coffees.

It is a Saturday! I want a cocktail or wine AT THE VERY LEAST!

You: Why is my balance so low?

Economists: Bc working Americans haven’t gotten a raise in 30 years despite unprecedented growth; & living costs have exploded.

Chase: Maybe if you skipped that Dunkin on April 22nd you‘d be able to afford your RX meds. That’s how that works right

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Daily reminder that we have a **Muslim Ban** in this country made out of the President’s hostility to Muslim people w/ little-to-no supporting evidence, and a Republican Party that tolerates it.

There is so much work to do. Repealing the Ban is square 1.
