I live and work in a rural community and am committed to engaged, creative, practical, solution-focused approaches. And to joy.

Serious question: How can you watch America’s billionaires get 44% richer during the pandemic and not support a wealth tax?

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Today’s Tax Day. If you’ve paid your taxes, you’re paying more federal income taxes than Nike, FedEx, and dozens of other major corporations did last year.

It’s time to tax the rich. It’s time to tax corporations. It’s time to put an end to our rigged system.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Let’s set the record straight. There is no labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

55 massive corporations — like Nike and FedEx — paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2020.

RT if you agree: corporations need to finally pay their fair share.

UPDATE: Her four day trip to Mexico for her "work-related bonding retreat" was granted.

My teenage client remained rear-cuffed at his dad's funeral.

I know I sound like a broken record, but I'm not going to stop:

Two. Systems. Of. Justice.

One step toward recognizing how BIPOC communities have been massively impacted by COVID19. #Resitution

W.H. Release: Today, President Biden declared that a major disaster exists for the Navajo Nation and ordered federal assistance to supplement the Tribe's efforts in the areas affected by the COVID-19 pandemic beginning on January 20, 2020, and continuing.

Trauma - and re-membering trauma - is dramatic for survivors. We did not all have the same emotional and stress response to witnessing the insurrection at the capital, and the lack of security response. Listen. #BelieveSurvivors @wscadv

[Kelly Edwards @engagedethics]

Police brutality toward peaceful protesters is everywhere, except when those protesters are white and violent themselves. We know this is not true for every community, every officer - and yet, we must do better.

For all you incredible teachers and professors, and learners, who have been forced online this year without any time to train or prepare - some fantastic tips for effective pedagogy from @a_m_sidorkin. #HigherEd #teachinginapandemic

All the necessary systems for health and well-being are threaded through with racism and inequities. I appreciate you keeping this elevated @DrKeishaRay #BlackBioethics #COVID19 kills more people of color than anyone else - and yet, where are #BIPOC populations on the list?

[Kelly Edwards @engagedethics]

Bioethics - a field and discipline that has justice as a core principle - has yet to embrace justice as a practice. Critical read for all of us in ethics and medicine just out from @bioethics_net @DrKeishaRay #Bioethics #BlackBioethics

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

More than half of Americans support forgiving all student debt — and nearly 2/3 support some amount of forgiveness.

It’s time to cancel student debt.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Imagine thinking that ‘healthcare is a human right’ vs white supremacist conspiracy theories are two views “just as extreme” as the other 🤡🤡🤡

[wscadv @wscadv]

One of the main reasons people stay with an abusive partner is that they don’t have the money to support themselves or their children. The #WorkingFamiliesTaxCredit #RecoveryRebate provides direct cash assistance to the households that need it most. Tell #WaLeg to pass HB 1297!

[Kelly Edwards @engagedethics]

@McconkeyAndy I'll follow you anywhere.

[Minnesota Poor People’s Campaign @MNPPCampaign]

Majority of Americans taught "sanitized" version of #MLK! #GOP=hypocrites 4 invoking MLKjr's name, when they stand 4 everything #MLK opposed!

Would MLK have wanted "healing" after this outrage? Not without justice! #PoorPeoplesCampaign #NoJusticeNoPeace

Starvation wages, no paid sick leave, billionaires paying less in taxes than the working class...income inequality has only gotten worse since Dr. King called us to focus on poverty reduction. #https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/18/opinion/mlk-income-inequality.html?smid=tw-share
