I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Tell N.J. legislators to reject bills that would use taxpayer money for school voucher program. Write one here: https://t.co/H8oyX6uFLJ
Sowing racism, xenophobia, and division creates life-or-death dangers for millions of people. But for MAGA Republicans, it serves to divert attention from the economic plunder by the ultra-rich. They want people to fear one another rather than unite against the oligarchy.
Social Security taxes are rigged for the rich — and the program is in danger because of it.
A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income.
Meanwhile, the typical worker pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income. How does that make sense?
Thanks to the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling this May, the EPA was forced to remove protections from most of America's wetlands this week.
Harlan Crow's firm lobbied for the rollback while he secretly plied Justice Thomas with gifts.
Anyone see a problem here?
Yes, Donald Trump is disqualified from running for office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
No, this provision doesn’t require a criminal conviction.
Chief election officials in the states have a constitutional duty to keep Trump off the ballot in 2024.
MLK: “We must. . .shift from a ‘thing’-oriented society to a ‘person’-oriented society. When machines + computers, profit motives + property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism + militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
Not all face masks are created equal. N95 face masks are far more effective than cloth masks in preventing the spread of COVID. We must utilize the Defense Production Act to mass produce these masks and distribute them to every household in the country.
Here is the truth: The former president of the United States has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election.
He’s done so because he values power over principle. Because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or Constitution.
Right now, @NYCMayor could:
-Call tomorrow a snow/ Covid day and cancel school
-Roll out a plan to test 100% of kids before school in January
-order kn95s for all kids and staff
If he doesn’t act, pretty soon there will be no one left to teach
