So, *now* can I interest y'all in the multi-partisan quest to have Elections BC oversee #bcpoli leaderships so we can be done with this madness? End self-policing. Empower an agency that already runs fair/open elections as their sole function. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
As Constituency Assistants, we're always there for our communities. We’re currently in mediation w/our employer for a new contract & we need your support. Tweet your MLA if you believe CAs deserve fairness, wage parity & job security. @RonnaRaeLeonard#CAsDeserveBetter#bcpoli
@bravenewnorth@NDP I want a Spotify playlist of these jams! I've been trying to Shazam songs and build a playlist myself, but not all of the songs come up
@mediacoop I might have missed it, but has anyone motioned to have the time split 50/10 instead of 40/20? Surely 10 minutes is still enough time to account for technically issues that may arise.
Petition to have all speakers at this convention take place at an optional evening social instead of during the day when we could be debating policy. #NDPConvention2021
Right? If I wanted to listen to prerecorded messages from those speakers, I could just head over to their social media pages 🙄I came here to debate and vote #ndpconvention2021
With all due respect to today's panelists and featured speakers (who were great!), members didn't pay delegate fees to hear 2 1/2 hours of speeches/panels while spending less than an hour considering policy resolutions.
Do better @NDP#NDPConvention2021
Cell phone video shows Kenosha Wisconsin police officers in an military vehicle telling armed White militia members they "appreciate them being there" and giving them bottled water; while in the background cops can be heard ordering protestors to disperse.
When I was 22, I watched a friend become HIV+ cuz he couldn't afford Truvada PrEP which cost s$1,300/m but costs <$6 to make. CDC invented & patented PrEP, but they refused to stop Gilead's price gouging for yrs. Today, the the same thing is happening with remdesivir for COVID.
BREAKING: Gilead is charging $3,000+ for its COVID drug, remdesivir.
Taxpayers spent $70,000,000 to develop this drug. It should be in the public domain.
Instead, Big Pharma is robbing us blind.
We must shame @GileadSciences into changing course. Please share this.
Today.
I told a 28 year old that he needs intubation. He was scared. Couldn’t breathe.
I told the wife of a 47 year old that he is dying over FaceTime.
I bronched a #COVID19 patient who mucous plugged. It saved his life. Risked mine.
With some utility companies and banks working to ease some of the financial burdens caused by this crisis, sure would be nice for credit card companies to jump on board and cancel interest fees for a while
