Today's report on job losses hides something: Workers of color bore the brunt of this loss.

By race ethnicity, these are the changes in employment between Nov. and Dec. 2020:

White: +38k
Asian: -40k
Black: -26k
Latina/o: -252k

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

To clarify, $1200 checks are ONLY going to some w/social sec numbers, NOT immigrants w/ tax IDs (ITINs).

Thanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing. Many are essential workers who pay more taxes than Amazon.

Wall St gets $4T

As I was paying my respects to our forever Chairman, his staff told me that in his final hours he signed subpoenas to USCIS and ICE, pursuing justice for immigrants in my district & across the country with chronic medical conditions. A man of his word every moment of his life.

From his time as a lecturer at @UChicagoLaw, to his @ObamaFoundation scholars program, @BarackObama's legacy remains deeply connected to our community. He returns to #HydePark today to record a @davidaxelrod Axe Files podcast live w/ #UChicago students. https://t.co/6WogbauZqo

New York’s Cortlandt St Station. Finally reopen after getting damaged in the 9/11 attacks 17 years ago.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Kirstjen Nielsen just announced a new Trump administration proposal to indefinitely incarcerate immigrant children in what are essentially prisons. It apparently needs to be said that this is cruel and inhumane. There’s a lot of news today, but we can’t let this go ignored.

The migrant children relocated to Michigan after being separated from their parents have been fostered under the purview of Bethany Christian Services, the world's largest adoption agency, one known for coercive adoptions. @amylittlefield & I report. https://t.co/kBHaLyxpFa

This is the start of a movement.

Thank you all.

Mexico was only second to Syria in the number of journalists killed in 2017.

"We will keep demanding justice," said a colleague of the late Javier Valdez, a journalist killed for his award-winning reporting on the victims of violence in Mexico last year. https://t.co/cYL5UItwUL

Nearly 11,000 migrant children are in government custody without their parents, according to federal health officials — a 22% increase from April as the Trump administration has ramped up prosecution of parents who cross the border with their children. https://t.co/tlKVlLSEuf
