I'm an expert in things I never Tweet about. I'm an ally to the marginalized. Welcome to friends. Back off fools.

@josh_hammer You are not very bright. Good luck with the crayons.

What a tragic irony that on the 50th anniversary of the #26thAmendment granting millions more Americans the right to vote, the US Supreme Court ruled to restrict voting rights, especially for #disabled Americans who often need someone else to deliver their ballots. Disgraceful.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Ohhh @DanCrenshawTX likes to get "facts straight" about voting rights.

So let's do it.

A thread.

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that.

As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

Fun fact: for almost a year Belarusian state news agency BelTA has been using hostage videos like the one with Roman Protasevich as paid ads on YouTube with links to their network of pro-govt telegram channels. We tried everything but YouTube says there’s nothing wrong about it.

@TeamTurboTax This is what I saw after the final step of my 2020 taxes. I had to go back to the turbo tax website in order to understand what happened after clicking the final submit button in the web app (all done, paid, etc)

[Jeremy Bandini @netexplosure]

@TeamTurboTax Thank you for trying to help.

Women represent over 6 in 10 minimum wage earners — a wage that you just voted against increasing

When all 50 Republican senators & 8 (all white) Democrats voted to deny passage of $15/hr min wage — which would have lifted 45% of Black workers out of poor & low-wage jobs, & 62 million people overall — these actions are policy forms of racism & classism & disparate treatment.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

These votes are rooted in a form of systemic racism, classism, and elitism that even Democrats fall into when they're led by so-called centrism & neo-liberalism that passes policies full of disparate impact on Black, brown, indigenous & poor white essential workers.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

The White House wouldn’t support the @VP overruling the advice of the parliamentarian.

@SenSchumer took $15 minimum wage out of COVID relief bill before it was brought to the floor.

8 white Dem senators led by Manchin joined extremist Republicans to block Sanders' amendment.

This is key and shows a stark difference between administrations:

I don't want to argue about opening schools but where I come from, "I'm afraid I'll die" is actually a pretty good excuse to not want to go to work. It's reasonable to be fearful during a global disaster. It's reasonable to not prioritize work over your fear of death.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

After Black voters turned out in record numbers to flip Georgia & elect 2 Dem senators, Georgia Republicans introduce new voter suppression bill eliminating Sunday voting, when Black churches hold Souls to the Polls drives. Not even hiding the racism https://t.co/Dib8tFn6V5

.@Sen_JoeManchin met with min. wage and tipped min. wage workers today advocating for a $15 min. wage

He told them he was opposed, supports $11, per the workers who spoke with him

Rev. Barber said he was "amazed" Manchin heard their stories and still opposed the policy.

@CatoInstitute It is also 100% more ground based than flying, 100% more expensive than walking. Strawman arguments are questionable.

High speed rail moves people more efficiently in most logical use cases. Would improve society when implemented sensibly wherever possible. Wtf trains are basic
