Farm workers have always been essential workers. Many are undocumented and will not receive any of the benefits the current govt stimulus package offers. If you’re still employed, please donate to get them the PPE they need.

@wmata waited 30 min for a shuttle between Silver Spring and Takoma and wound up having to call an uber. This summer is going to be a complete mess if this is how you run the shuttle system.

Texas is installing a “floating wall” across the Rio Grande with netting intended to snag & drown border-crossers.

River currents will trap debris in the nets & alter river flows. People & wildlife will drown.

This is Gov Abbott’s deadly abomination…

@wmata waiting 10 minutes at the Takoma station with all of the trains listed as “DLY”. No announcements or updates. Had to call a car service to get to my class on time. How do you expect residents to use public transportation when Metro is this unreliable?

Abortion bans not killing women fast enough.

[Voto Latino @votolatino]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announces he will seek to end birthright citizenship if he's elected president.

This is unhinged and unconstitutional.

@ColdStone want to explain why there are metal shards in my ice cream??

Meanwhile in Florida, a woman, unable to get an abortion due to DeSantis’ deadly anti-abortion laws had to carry to term a baby that was found to have no kidneys at 24 weeks.

I’ll say that part again, no kidneys and was forced to carry the baby for an additional 13 weeks until she gave birth.

Deborah Dorbert’s son Milo died in her arms on March 3, shortly after birth just like the doctors said would happen.

Forced to carry, knowing there was no chance of survival. Then watching a baby gasp for air and die.

What part of that scenario is pro-life? The walking around for 13 weeks knowing your baby is going to die? Oh wait, is it the part where the baby took one breath and died?

DeSantis chases woke while real-life consequences are happening “death on delivery.”

That’s not governing it’s torture. #FreshWords

@TheEconomist This is incredibly racist.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

So, while I'm sure there are many who will claim we shouldn't speak ill of the dead, I would like to point out that Pat Robertson went out of his way to inflict suffering on innocent people grieving the loss of their loved ones.

And I hope people will sit with that reflection.

🇸🇻 #efActualidad | El presidente Nayib Bukele anunció hace unos minutos que su gobierno reducirá la distribución territorial de El Salvador a 44 municipios. Esto representará un cambio drástico para el país, que tiene 262 municipios. "Tengo aquí en mis manos la propuesta", dijo esta noche durante su discurso por los #4Años de su Gobierno.

.@DCJWJ is raising funds for the former Moon Rabbit workers. Even though no one's been laid off, many of the 60 staff are not scheduled shifts. So they don't get paid. I'm told no one has been offered transfers to other IHG hotels to hold workers over.

The way that Bud Light and Target are reacting to the far right angry at including LGBTQ+ people is EXACTLY why many of us have railed against corporate pride.

If your advocacy consists merely of rainbows that disappear at the first gust of fascist wind, it amounts to net harm.

[Aura Bogado @aurabogado]

A Black eight-year-old spent more than a week in a concrete cell. Her mother begged agents to help her, but they ignored her. On the eighth day, the child fainted. By the time agents finally took her to the hospital, it was too late.

Yes, Biden could have prevented this death.

Literally no one understands something more completely than a woman in a meeting who starts a question with “Just so I understand…”

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

I need everyone to stop drawing this false equivalence when talking about the fascist right & progressives in office.

One is banning books, removing electeds from office, & taking away civil rights.

The other wants healthcare, to protect our planet, good wages, & housing.

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

Christians in FL, if your child was rushed to the hospital and a Muslim doctor refused to treat them and let them die because of their beliefs would you be okay with this? Because your fascist governor just made this the law.

[Lindsay Toczylowski @L_Toczylowski]

It was inevitable that with Title 42’s end that demand to vindicate the legal right to seek asylum would increase temporarily. But instead of investing in rebuilding our asylum system, the Biden admin has chosen to resurrect failed cruelty-first tactics. #SeekingAsylumIsLegal

[Lindsay Toczylowski @L_Toczylowski]

These asylum seeking kids are sleeping on cardboard & dirt tonight, likely w/ no blankets. They are in US govt custody. This is not what a functioning asylum system looks like. This is not how any of us would want our own children to be treated. #RestoreAsylum #WelcomeWithDignity
