@ungusdafungus @Craig_A_Spencer I second what’s being said above - please tell her to quit. I work in hospitality and it is so unbelievably rough. That job is not worth her physical, mental, or emotional health (and this pandemic wreaks too much havoc on all three). Sending love ❤️
You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.
A 15 year old Black girl called the police because she was about to get jumped at her home. She had a knife. She was shot four times and killed by @ColumbusPolice. Neverending man.
White people: no matter what happens, now is the time for us to be recommitting to the work of building a world where George Floyd would not have been murdered in the first place. All of us will benefit from a world where we invest in our communities by defunding police.
I am extremely skeptical of the ability of public messaging to disaggregate "the J&J vaccine is under review as a precaution" from "the J&J vaccine is not safe and the others may not be either" in the minds of normal people. An incredibly crucial, high-stakes test for the press.
Reminder that white folks should be amplifying the needs of Black folks right now instead of writing their own hot takes. It’s disrespectful. Donate money, amplify Black voices, and above all center Daunte Wright’s family
Warrants don’t warrant excessive force & manslaughter, but for some context, those “warrants” people will latch onto are for misdemeanor weed charges (weed also being overly criminalized for Black people but a lucrative business for white people)
The "warrant" on #DaunteWright was over unpaid fines for 2 minor misdemeanors — one a marijuana case — totaling $346. He pled guilty, filed for deferred payment and they were sent to collections DURING A PANDEMIC. Then he was pulled over for car air fresheners and killed over it.
“ur trauma made u stronger”
no. my trauma made me traumatized, it made me weak, it gave me memory loss, it gave me feelings i’ve never wanted. i made myself stronger.
CA EDD would sooner let people go hungry, end up unhoused, & die than allocate resources appropriately or in a timely manner. Your system is inaccurate & your verbiage is unclear, all while people are struggling.
@CAgovernor@GavinNewsom fix this and do better.
I treated many really sick Covid-19 patients today.
All wanted to get vaccinated but didn’t know how to navigate appointments, transportation. Might sound easy, but for many, it’s not.
Expanding eligibility doesn’t always mean accessibility, especially for the most vulnerable.
