Customer at my bar last night: Do you even know anyone that actually had the virus?
Me: Yes but here’s a question for you: Do you know anyone that has AIDS?
Customer: No.
Me: But you know that’s a real thing, right?
Customer: ....
Me: ::walks away::
Republicans are all upset that I’m connecting the dots between poverty and crime.
I know most of them haven’t experienced or seen these issues first hand, but I have.
This may be hard for them to admit, but poverty and crime are highly linked, both violent & nonviolent alike.
Bills are piling up, rent is due, millions are jobless. A one-time $1,200 check won’t cut it.
We need to provide $2,000 a month to every man, woman and child—and make it retroactive to cover the past three months.
If we can bail out corporations, we can ensure everyone’s needs.
George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
I've stopped worrying about the president's sanity. He's not sane. And the realization of his illness doesn't fill me with anger, but with profound sadness. What I now worry about is the sanity of anyone who can still support this deeply troubled man to lead our country.
Thank you @Nationals@MLB@astros For inviting an immigrant! To throw first pitch! In a game full of immigrants! Inviting me representing millions of first responders doing amazing work helping everyone! Specially @WCKitchen today we pass 1.5 million meals in Bahamas alone...
It’s a lie! Undocumented make things happen, pay taxes, and You Mr. President build towers with them, run golf courses with them, made wine with them....It doesn’t cost America what you say! Actually we are all richer because them....and it’s wrong! Without them economy collapse!
How do we organize a response in Bahamas? Here’s our current map we are working from.... @WCKitchen has kitchens ready to go and shelters mapped out. If kitchens are destroyed, we build one and cook in big paella pans! https://t.co/yNzrfrKIaS
