Yes @JoeBiden! @TheDemocrats @DNC need to talk about this disaster! It will dismantle our entire democracy. ALL our rights are on the ballot this Nov 5. Why isn't every media outlet talking about this & a convicted felon? He's old. But he has been deranged & vindictive for years!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

It is critical for everyone to learn about Project 2025 to be informed! This is the right-wing agenda to dismantle our democracy. It is up to each of us to stop it. Vote for our democracy!
Thank you @marceelias for the great work you and your team @DemocracyDocket are doing!

Please read this brief article by Olivier De Schutter, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. https://t.co/eIsTLtxM7Y
2024 Forbes report shows 2,781 billionaires in the world.
Keep in mind, you have to make $3 million A DAY to make $1 billion a year.

Ending hunger should be the priority! The farm bill should be an opportunity for Congress to make progress against food insecurity and hunger and tackle the glaring racial inequities in food hardship. Support Committee Chair @SenStabenow's vision https://t.co/cz9bo3UlPP

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

This is a very important and insightful article to advance our understanding of healing and well-being to decolonize mental health. Check out this post on @CVTorg by Jesse Valentin: https://t.co/wLqNerTjKi

RT @CalltoActivism and she clearly has the life wisdom to know the difference! Let's be sure we are VOTING for the people who know the difference and take action to make her PRO-LIFE actions to support every child. And let's be sure people can CHOOSE to be parents!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Bless this bad-ass woman and her awesome protest poster!

RT @CLeibowicz @techreview @SamGregory - great article! It is critical to understand how AI will impact our ability to "differentiate fact from fabrication" in a world where misinformation, disinformation and mal-information has put trust in our media sources at an all-time low.

[Claire Leibowicz @CLeibowicz]

💡For @techreview, I joined the chorus writing on watermarking AI content

...on why the field can't agree what watermarking means, how to understand its technical feasibility/social impact, and how to coordinate & move AI transparency forward.

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

RT @newtactics @CVTorg this podcast on #HumanRightsChat is powerful and moving. It is important to remember what happened to the entire #Yazidi community, and especially the women and children who were forcibly abducted and displaced.

RT @TheTNHoller All police actions like this need to be investigated. @LASD_News @docnewsfeed this is the visual definition of excessive use of force. Thank goodness people in addition to this woman were watching and filming. This is why citizens must hold our police accountable!

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

LANCASTER, CA: @LASDHQ Deputy slams elderly Black woman with cancer to the ground and assaults her as she films her husband being arrested for ALLEGEDLY shoplifting a cake. Outrageous. (H/T @Lesdoggg)

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

RT @CVTorg and @newtactics - the right to rehabilitation is necessary for each survivor of torture to find their path to health and healing. This is critical for not only personal healing but for families and communities. Join CVT today honoring survivors- https://t.co/X5UUAfFmSL

RT @ChrisMurphyCT this merger is an outrage! The @PGATOUR @PGA has disqualified the sport from having a position of integrity.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

So weird. PGA officials were in my office just months ago talking about how the Saudis' human rights record should disqualify them from having a stake in a major American sport.

I guess maybe their concerns weren't really about human rights?

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

RT @matthewjdowd the @PGATOUR @PGA has lost all credibility. This merger is the definition of "whitewashing" - covering up the "dirt". In this case the "dirt" is the Saudi record of human rights violations and outright corruption.

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

RT @nowthisnews @IlhanMN what an important time to remember Shirley Chisholm! As the forces around us seek to remove hard won rights and freedoms, we must continue to expand, encourage and ensure meaningful participation in the governance. Push equal rights & voting rights NOW!

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Shirley Chisholm—the first Black woman to be elected to Congress—fought to expand food assistance programs across the country. Now, Rep. @IlhanMN is speaking about how Chisholm's lasting work continues to inspire her and others to fight for marginalized communities.

[Simon Adams @SAdamsR2P]

Love is love. It’s time to end the criminalization of people on the basis of their #LGBTQ+ identity. 🏳️‍🌈🌍

#PrideMonth2023

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

June is Pride Month-1st created to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, NY - is now worldwide. It's a time to renew our commitment and support for LGBTQIA+ rights and equality for all! We can't allow the forces of hate to divide us. Unite to promote equality NOW!

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

RT @CVTorg - this is a much needed and long overdue change for accountability in policing in Minnesota! I hope it serve as a good role model for other states seeking police accountability!

[Center for Victims of Torture @CVTorg]

New POST Board rules called a 'game changer' in state licensing of police officers https://t.co/TZSHtRuqRw

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

@CNNPolitics @andersoncooper what is "disturbing" is a media company providing a free platform where you have gathered ONLY his supporters to cheer on this liar, sexual abuser, and 'would be dictator'. That's NOT normal behavior for a legitimate news media outlet in a democracy!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Cooper: You have every right to be outraged today and angry and never watch this network again. But do you think staying in your silo and only listening to people you agree with is going to make that person go away?

[Nancy Pearson @nlpearson]

RT @newtactics let's celebrate #InternationalLaborDay! Each and every day we need to keep pushing the boundaries to guarantee #HumanRights & the dignity for EVERY worker! Together we can uphold human rights for each and every person! ✨ https://t.co/dpWQxqR4Jw #MayDay #Solidarity

[New Tactics in Human Rights @newtactics]

The labor movement has always been about innovation, from the strike to the picket to the boycott.

As we celebrate #InternationalLaborDay, let’s keep pushing the boundaries to guarantee #HumanRights & Dignity for EVERY worker. ✨
