Thanks to @RepBlumenauer for joining @RepLowenthal & @SenJeffMerkley in the fight to protect our oceans from plastic waste. #WildlifeOverWaste #BeyondPlastics

[Amanda Schaffer @mandalyse005]

Oregonians have been fighting back against plastic pollution, which is clogging our waterways and killing our #wildlife. Today, our federal lawmakers will join us in the fight with the reintroduction of the #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act. #WildlifeOverWaste

This #ValentinesDay @WholeFoods should break up with single use plastics by saying 'it's definitely you, not me.' Sign @uspirg's petition to #BreakUpWithPlastic: https://t.co/UG96rNjzA0

We're hearing asks from the community that posts related to Blackout Tuesday use the hashtag #blackouttuesday, and not #blacklivesmatter. The #blacklivesmatter hashtag aggregates important information and resources for the community.

We need a new President.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump just had peaceful demonstrators viciously attacked. No, Mr. President. This is not a dictatorship. This is the United States of America. Our citizens have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. It's called the First Amendment.

#MORETESTSNOW

GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander said this weekend that the coronavirus testing the United States has done so far is "not nearly enough," and "there is no safe path forward to combat the novel coronavirus without adequate testing." https://t.co/bIag0QHwls

There are 640,000 postal workers that have been working tirelessly to provide essential services for our country.

We must do everything we can to save the post office.

[Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown]

Our @USPS workers are delivering packages with essential items, census forms, prescriptions, ballots for vote by mail, stimulus checks, and letters to our homes. They’re on the front lines of this pandemic. Now more than ever, we must support the USPS.

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

Leaders take responsibility.

Trump, on the other hand, is plain weak. Weak.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If Trump had it his way, he would allow the Postal Service to go bankrupt and then privatize it, jeopardizing more than 600,000 decent paying jobs. We absolutely cannot — and will not — let that happen. https://t.co/PhhPLB5azX

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If the Postal Service goes under, universal and affordable delivery would no longer be a guaranteed public service.

That's unacceptable.

During this emergency, the Postal Service is needed now more than ever.

Congress must take immediate action to protect USPS.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Rent is due on May 1st.

The American people need help NOW.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If we want life to approach anything like normal anytime soon, we need a comprehensive testing program. It’s not going to be cheap, but it will ultimately pay off many times over in saved lives, saved businesses, and saved jobs. https://t.co/pnN9KVcvQR

1) Improve rapid testing

3) Isolating the sick
4) Increase hospital capacity
5) Find effective treatments

One of the world's most successful investors, the billionaire Ray Dalio, says the coronavirus crisis is exacerbating disparities between the rich and the poor.

Economic recovery will require lessening the wealth gap, he says.

Mental Health professionals recognize the COVID-19 emergency as a collective traumatic event. A pandemic of this nature has dramatic effect on our mental wellbeing- not having enough tests to know who among us has #covid19 adds a great deal of anxiety. We need #moretestsnow
