@stephen_richer So you’re gonna do something- as a leader—right? Or is this just yet another pathetic attempt by an R to back off trump-sucking once you realize there’s nothing in it for you??
@2021PlzImprove @abc15 It has EVERYTHING to do w R’s. They’ve done their goddamn damnedest to ostracize people, make voting as difficult as possible, gerrymandering. Should vote? Sure. Punished for not? Fk no.
@carly_solstice 36 & I’ve recently developed a lack of function in my thighs re: standing up. Am a 🐢 on my back— don’t dare attempt touching my toes.
Standing behind an elderly woman at @cvspharmacy and she’s buying insulin. $1200. She’s visibly upset, and I’m trying not to cry also. Pharmacist says “well at least your insurance paid for over half bc the cash price is over $3000” HOW HAVE WE LET THEM CONVINCE US THIS IS OKAY?

Kroger cut hazard pay for its food workers during the pandemic and shut down stores in cities that required hero pay. But they had plenty of money to pay their CEO millions and millions of dollars in wages, bonuses, and stock. The greed is despicable. https://t.co/sMpcMHgBxx
Why do people rage against the rich?👇
Led his company to record profits from his home office.
While front line workers risk their lives & lost hazard pay.
