PEN America has elevated two senior leaders, Summer Lopez and Clarisse Rosaz Shariyf, to serve as the organization’s Interim Co-CEOs.
Suzanne Nossel, PEN America’s former CEO, is leaving to take a position as President and CEO with Freedom House. https://t.co/GxI9V9qWEY
I have long believed that marijuana should be legalized and those arrested for possession should be pardoned and have their records expunged. The President’s executive action today is an important step forward, but much more needs to be done.
If you paid $1 In federal income taxes, you paid more in taxes than:
AT&T in 2021
Tesla in 2021
Amazon in 2017-2018
Nike in 2020
FedEx in 2020
Dish Network in 2020
Elon Musk in 2018
Jeff Bezos in 2007 & 2011
Carl Icahn in 2016-2017
Yes. It’s time to tax the rich.
The protests in Russia from brave citizens there, risking true life and liberty to voice their opposition to Putin’s war with Ukraine, make the “convoys” protest in North America over “freedum” seem truly ludicrous.
Kim Potter, a white police officer, was just sentenced to less than two years for killing Daunte Wright.
This is the same system that sentenced Crystal Mason, a Black mother of three, to five years for voting when she didn't realize a past felony conviction made her ineligible.
Shock. Shock. Shock. Gas prices are at the highest level in 7 years while Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell & BP made nearly $25 billion in profits last quarter – the highest level in over 7 years. The problem is not inflation. The problem is corporate greed, collusion & profiteering.
If you watched those clips, I’m here to tell you- YES, these syringe earrings are among my most treasured items.

Harm reduction works.

I dunno, if people are feeling compelled to steal toothpaste, food and diapers, seems like we've got deeper problems than theft. The roots cause of the issue is lots of people aren't getting paid enough to meet basic needs.
Abortion is ESSENTIAL to democracy! The current case regarding Roe v. Wade is just another attack on women’s control over their own bodies, and, of course, because this is America, black women will be most impacted. Thank you for lifting this up @jweisswolf@BrennanCenter
As the Supreme Court prepares to hear a case on the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade, these law and policy experts break down the consequences overturning it would have on democracy in the U.S.

Sen. Schumer introduced a bill to decriminalize marijuana today. But with the filibuster still in place, it’s unlikely to pass. So what to do next?
@Kassandra_Fred: “I think we fight.”
Sha’Carri has faced more swift consequence and universal condemnation than the elected officials that just tried to assassinate their colleagues & overthrow the elections.
@declanoscanlon@MattFriedmanNJ Michael Phelps got caught in a picture with a bong. Ryan Lochte got caught lying about being robbed AT the Olympics. Neither were barred from competing. Seems like the rules aren't so equitably applied.
