Why would you NOT vote for Kamala?

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Would billionaires have given Justice Clarence Thomas massive gifts if he was just a law clerk? NO. That’s what makes this corrupt. They were seeking to curry favor with Justice Thomas, either directly or indirectly. And Justice Thomas violated the law in accepting the gifts.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

School meal debt is $262 million a year.

The U.S. gives the oil industry $20 billion a year in tax subsidies which goes directly to their profits.

We should be ensuring every child has food, not increasing the wealth of the billionaires destroying the planet.

To reporters covering the #MauiFire: Please stop characterizing Front Street and Lahaina Town as a “tourist spot”

It was the original Capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

King Kamehameha’s palace is here.

Kānaka Maoli still live here, on their ancestral land from the 1800s.

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

We're really having a public debate about whether slavery was good for enslaved people.

That's how deep our political life has descended into overt white supremacy.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1989: 61-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 399-to-1

Corporations and CEOs refuse to stop consolidating wealth and power.

This is why thousands of workers across industries are striking, or planning to strike.

“But my staff at my school love games!” Look…If they could choose between games and setting up their classroom/planning in their departments, guess what they would choose?

What IF…. we DIDN’T do icebreakers this year for pre-service? A lot of the adults I know absolutely hate them. We hate scavenger hunts. We hate word of the year. We hate minute-to-win-it. Two truths and a lie - ick. How about… just letting us meet our coworkers organically?

President Joe Biden has picked a female admiral to lead the Navy, officials tell AP. If confirmed, she'd be the first woman on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. https://t.co/VA6MfLqpHA

What’s going on with these school boards? People need to pay better attention before voting in local elections.

[Tony Thurmond @TonyThurmond]

Tonight I went to a school board meeting to stand up for LGBTQ+ students who invited me to join them as they spoke out against a radical new policy that threatens their safety. When done speaking,the board president verbally attacked me an instructed the police to remove me.(1/5)

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests until the PISA in HS & they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, play, or Arts, but make them sit longer hours, we have it wrong!

[Coercive Control Canada @CanadaCoercive]

@emilynussbaum How about we stop judging women on how they respond to abuse?

So much about this story is disturbing. How many people knew about this, yet allowed it to happen?

People confusing Gen X with boomers need to get informed. Most of us are not living large. We were the first generation to not have the gains of prior generations. We mind our business.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Yes, cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House.

Yes, this is concerning from a security standpoint.

No, there is absolutely no evidence that it was Hunter Biden, so stop with the ridiculous ideas.

Yes, it was allegedly found in a part of the White House where visitors and many staff pass by on a daily basis.

Yes, the Secret Service should try and get to the bottom of this.

No, this isn't Joe Biden's fault.

No, this isn't Donald Trump Jr.s fault.

No, this isn't Hunter Biden's fault.

Yes, it is a failure of security, most likely by the US Secret Service.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Who really declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776? Who was really in the process of becoming free?

Revisit this 2019 piece in which @DrIbram onsiders what the Fourth of July means to an American.
