Towards equity and justice with compassion

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I can’t even 🤣🤣🤣

[Craig Bardo @craigbardo]

Wow!😂💯🤣

[Mehrsa Baradaran @MehrsaBaradaran]

Jeb!!! Autocorrect doesn’t even remember you!

Joe Biden is the Jed Bush of 2020.

Chairwoman @MaxineWaters had a committee hearing about it in @FSCDems. It would cost $13 billion to end homelessness. I couldn't agree more @IlhanMN. Our budget is a reflection of our values.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

!رحمه الله
(Allah have mercy upon him)

They went to their place of worship.

They never got the chance to fulfill their prayer.

Now their families and neighbors will pray over their dead bodies.

This. Is. Heartbreaking.

There is clearly a @staceyabrams lane available for this political season. I hope she joins the conversation. Her voice is needed.

White America has spent the better part of the last few decades railing against affirmative action, when it's white people who benefit most from affirmative action in the form of legacy and donor admissions.

Trump promised over and over again not to cut Medicaid and Medicare.

So what does his latest budget do?

Cuts Medicare by $845 billion.
Cuts Medicaid by $241 billion.

@ninaturner I’ll consider Bernie when he gives his full-throated support to reparations and selects Stacey Abrams as his running mate. Socialist class arguments don’t address the inheritances of a chattel heritage and its follow on effects.

[Yvette Carnell 🇺🇸 @BreakingBrown]

You don’t FIX this with CLASS SPECIFIC POLICY. You only fix this with RACE SPECIFIC policies. #ADOS #LineageMatters #Reparations2020 🇺🇸

THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY

Flint residents still don't have CLEAN WATER. Families have to wait for hours to get clean water & not everybody waiting is even guaranteed of that. They are turned away once the supply runs out.

Clean water is a HUMAN RIGHT!

RETWEET FOR FLINT 💔

This is not okay! A third of Americans say blackface is ok for Halloween costumes https://t.co/6FgOXtpocX

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Because you know what we don’t discuss nearly enough? The white male experience. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[Stephanie Kelton @StephanieKelton]

What’s the word for people who long ago decided MMT is rubbish but who hang on my every tweet/TV appearance/podcast and pour over every column I write?

[Stacey Patton @DrStaceyPatton]

People who hate Socialism usually can’t even tell you what it is.

[Darrick Hamilton @DarrickHamilton]

I am embarrassed and hurt by this 1979 yearbook photo celebrating inhumane terror at my graduate school alma mater. I hope that UNC makes restitution for their, at the very least, passive, complicity by acknowledging this harm and then redressing this harm

[Craig Bardo @craigbardo]

@WKRN Why is the headline about his apology? This framing is not a benign journalistic practice, it is a political act. Why not, for example, “Racist Governor poses in Blackface while in Med School”? It’s accurate and captures the essence of the story.

[Tariq Nasheed 🇺🇸 @tariqnasheed]

So Elizabeth Warren apologized to the Cherokee Nation for dna testing to connect herself with the tribe.

So when will the Cherokee Nation apologize to all the Black people they kicked out of their tribes so none of the financial resources could be allocated to them?

[Stephanie Kelton @StephanieKelton]

"You do not do stimulus this late in the cycle!"
"Deficits matter again!"
"We should be running surpluses and paying down debt."
Said a whole bunch of left econ folks not named Kelton.

[Darrick Hamilton @DarrickHamilton]

Aside from the obvious abhorration of a picture of a governor gleefully posing in black face/a klansman terrorist, how does a medical school consent to to yearbook that allows such a photo—the school obviously failed in their ethics training, which contributes to medical racism
