And glancing at FED Balance Sheet -- we bought $2.5 TRILLION of corporate and T bonds since March! Propping up investors like crazy. $100 Billion rent relief is actually a small number.
Gotta extend STATE eviction Mortatoria #OR#WA until there’s FEDERAL AID & income support for renters. One-time $1,200 check back in April not cutting it. Landlords & Renters need to be united in this fight. https://t.co/OfvcRDeDy1
Anyone says federal govt cannot afford rent relief? I call BS. Since March: $350 Billion on PPP for businesses. $240 Billion Tax benefits for corporate and pass through LLCs.
Want a peaceful PDX? @sarah2020 for Mayor. She gets it. The sure path to peace is community-driven change. Instead, Council just punted a community-driven public safety plan for more “analysis”.. just more pain & conflict. Sarah will lead change - she's ready for this moment.
In less than 2 minutes, Sarah breaks down this race, what’s at stake, and why Portland can trust her to lead at this critical time. #VoteSarah#PlanForProgress
@sarahforpdx will be an awesome Mayor. Yes she's qualified, plus super-smart, visionary, funny, with open door to supporters & critics alike. She will unite people. Campaign already has.
Friends, today I am asking you to share my Letter in the @Oregonian. Portland deserves fair coverage of this campaign, not status quo editorial decisions that favor the incompetent incumbent. https://t.co/xJmGSiGDVj
Emmit Till would be 79 yrs old, alive & well, had he not been kidnapped, tortured and murdered on this day 65 years ago. He’d be an old grandpa in Chicago, proud of all his seeds organizing the movement and continuing the fight for black life. But they killed him, when he was 14
In tears listening to Rebecca who tried getting a $500 stimulus check. She collects cans for income and cares for a son with special needs. She believes the process the state used to distribute the checks was inequitable, “like someone dangling a carrot.” Thanks to @ThirteenAt8.
Thanks @ernestofonseca for introducing me to @NafisaFaiWashCo .. Wash County has never had BIPOC Commissioner , and she's a Mom & Public Health expert.. amazing leader.
🚨 Endorsement Alert 🚨: I'm so thrilled to announce that I've been endorsed by @RepBonamici! She's been representing the Washington County area in Congress since 2012 and has done so many great things for our community, so I'm excited to work together #NafisaforWashCo
The coronavirus stimulus package carved out $135,000,000,000 in tax breaks for millionaires.
That's *three times* as much money as was included for emergency housing and food relief.
When I say we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest, this is what I mean.
This week was fire.
Reminded of my favorite quote by Frederick Douglas “Its not light we need, but fire. Its not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, the earthquake”
The fire is catching. Are you going to help fan the flames?
