This image haunts me. It will come to represent our era. These are Democratic senators giving a standing ovation for Donald Trump, after Trump, reading a speech written by his racist acolyte Stephen Miller, vows that America will never have socialism. Only one senator refuses.
In socialist Vietnam, rapid tests are accessible to everyone. Vietnam has had 24 covid-19 deaths and 962 total cases.
In the capitalist U.S., they're available only to the wealthy. 172,961 have died and there have been over 5.5 million cases.
Which system do you prefer?
getting arrested allowed me to report from inside a NYPD precinct during a pandemic / mass protests. what i saw:
- cop with a Punisher skull patch
- protesters needing medical attn, not getting it
- crowded cells w no way to social distance / no masks

Pls call Albany 6/10! The CCPA hasn't been passed and @NYGovCuomo said climate legislation is "not a top priority." Absurd. The climate won't wait! The bill can pass if we help get it across the finish line! Join a call-in day to #PassTheCCPA! Info here: https://t.co/EqHUN8o49A
This is amazing: Forbes, The Hill, the Daily Caller and The Federalist all published articles by an Iranian opposition activist who does not exist and is actually just a fake Twitter account run by a bunch of dudes in Albania https://t.co/UTlfwtssXB
when i said “i got the horses in the back” it was in reference to reversing the ongoing climate change, water pollution, and catastrophic political climate we are witnessing in these trying times.
🤩😍 @BroadCity star Ilana Glazer @ilazer: "I hope and pray that Governor Cuomo prioritizes and puts into motion the Climate and Community Protection Act!"

Powerful moment between @AOC & Heather Heyer's mom @SusanBro7 at today's hearing on white supremacy.
"I have been given a huge platform…because I’m white. Many Black parents, Muslim parents, Jewish parents lose their children and nobody pays attention."
True solidarity.
BREAKING! Gov. Cuomo’s DEC temporarily rejects the Williams Pipeline.
We are winning this fight but it is NOT over. Come rally with us tomorrow at City Hall at noon to send a clear message to Williams that this pipeline will never be built. #StopTheWilliamsPipeline
Joe Biden dropped out of 1988 presidential run after he stole a speech — and the life story — of the UK Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock. He’s a serial plagiarist, a fake through and through. https://t.co/EiM3HX9SRz
Whether or not you're a supporter of Bernie Sanders, this kind of data harvesting tool masquerading as a form of "organizing" should scare the hell out of you.

This is madness: The areas most heaviest hit by the IRS for audits? Black Belt MIssissippi and Alabama. The least audited area? The entire Northeast. https://t.co/KVMUpsrU55
Wow! We've got tingles! This is great news. A national political party, the UK's Labour party, recognises and declares the climate emergency! Keep going guys! We can save this precious home of ours for us and our kids if everyone steps up!

Our lives, our existence, should be about more than just the accumulation of more and more wealth. In our country, I see people who are worth billions of dollars pushing for policies that make the rich richer and everyone else poorer. That’s not what human life should be about.
"Our side needs to get used to the military language because what we’ve been doing — being polite and going to big orderly marches — isn’t saving the planet or creating a fair and just economy, and it’s wishful thinking to imagine otherwise."

New study finds that globally, #fossilfuel burning accounts for 78% of greenhouse gas emissions and 65% of early deaths due to air pollution. To meet #ParisAgreement and save millions of lives, we need "a rapid phaseout of fossil-fuel-related emissions." https://t.co/Bd4w34vJCq
