Can’t put into words how massive this was for Boston.

I was a senior in high school.

Where does the time go 😭

I am part of the supermajority of Americans who support and demand #PaidLeaveForAll. @POTUS, @SenSchumer, @Sen_JoeManchin, @SenGillibrand and more, let’s not lose one of the most impactful and popular pieces of this package. #WorkingFamiliesNeedPaidLeave

[Supermajority @supermajority]

Paid family and medical leave is a policy in #BuildBackBetter that can help any worker, household, and small business, across age, region, and community, in the happiest or hardest times.

@POTUS @SenSchumer @Sen_JoeManchin must approve #PaidLeaveCantWait #CareCantWait

[Supermajority @supermajority]

We are demanding @POTUS @SenSchumer @Sen_JoeManchin hear the tens of millions of families and voters asking for #PaidLeaveForAll. #WorkingFamiliesNeedPaidLeave

[Maddy Fleming @mad_snark]

We need Congress to prioritize women and their families in all upcoming infrastructure legislation. Join me to demand building back better for all women and families! #WeDemandMore https://t.co/gTGCm7T7B2

So damn tired of living in a country that treats Black grief as a threat and white rage as a sacrament

[NPR @NPR]

President Trump pointed to the stock market as a measure of U.S. economic health.

According to the Federal Reserve, more than half of all stock is held by the wealthiest 1% of the country, while the bottom 90% of the population holds less than 13%.

The only "success" Donald Trump seems to be running on is inheriting the Obama-Biden economy and largely managing not to mess it up until his fourth year.

“The fact that Trump pivots to law enforcement and law and order on a general question of race is, in itself, revealing.“ @AsteadWesley

"Whiteness is always positioned as the hero or victim but never the villain." - Kim Crayton. Thankful for her perspective on where white people need to start (with learning actual history and her recommendation: Season 2 "Seeing White" of Scene On Radio's podcast.

Remember that article making the rounds about the 16-TERM NY congressman Engel caught on a hot mic last week? Let's replace him with a real progressive who is in touch with his community (a Bronx principal)! Donate to Jamaal Bowman's campaign today! https://t.co/v4XFgXZEOd

I walked 6 mi w/big, diverse, peaceful #BLM march, well-run by Tenelle Viera, 27, Brooklyn makeup artist & world traveler, for Breeona Taylor. Cheers on every block, from old/young, black/white, in Crown Heights, BedStuy, Williamsburg.

Great to see the press sharing the reality of all the peaceful protests too. I was next to her for this pic. Proud of how my neighborhood showed up tonight. On every block. Leaning on horns & out windows & in doorways if they couldn’t join us in the streets.

[Anne Barnard @ABarnardNYC]

Super-well-run Brooklyn demo walked 3.5 hrs, 5-6mi, from Crown Heights to Greenpoint & back down to Domino Park in Williamsburg where rally still on. All the way, marchers got cheers from residents on every block.

[Rachel Maddow @maddow]

Good luck, America.

"Administration officials say the White House has made a deliberate political calculation that it will better serve Trump’s interest to put the onus on governors — not the federal government — to figure out how to move ahead."

"You are not working from home; you are at your home during a crisis trying to work."

I've heard this twice today. I think it's an important distinction worth emphasising.
