Hey everyone! Been gone awhile . What’s going on with the toxic spills bc of the #OhioTrainDisaster? Have officials that told residents to return to their homes in #EastPalestineOH returned to to their homes as well? How long can #vinylchloride float in the atmosphere?

We may think we are separate; states, countries, political parties, religions, but the jetstream doesn't give a f*^k about that!

"All three counts!" people chanted outside the courthouse in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges.

Lots of tears, hugs and chanting here.

@simongerman600 Just magical!

[Hamdia Ahmed @hamdia_ahmed]

I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check.

I just found this out. If you are homeless, you can go to a tax return office where they will file something called EIP return. They will put the money on a debit card after.

Retweet.!

"$15 an hour is too much"

What billionaires have made in the pandemic
Musk: $19.5 million an hour
Bezos: $9.4M/hour
Zuckerberg: $5.1M/hour
Waltons: $5M/hour
Page & Brin: $4.9M/hour each
Ballmer: $3.4M/hour
Ellison: $3.3M/hour
Gates: $3.2M/hour
Buffett: $3M/hour
Knight $2.9M/hour

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If $15 an hour sounds like too much, please ruminate on the fact that Jeff Bezos makes $2,489 every second.

63% of West Virginians support raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Q: What stops someone like Joe Manchin from listening to his constituents and supporting a living wage?

A: Corruption

Don't blame me I primaried @Sen_JoeManchin !

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

This is terrible politics and even worse policy.

Why would we take needed relief away from 17 million Americans?

The era of austerity is over. We should be getting as much relief to as many people as possible.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

There is nowhere — I repeat, NOWHERE — in the United States where a full-time worker being paid the federal minimum wage of $7.25 can make ends meet. That is a disgrace. It is far past time that we raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and give millions of workers a raise.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

A $15 minimum wage was already a compromise. Now some Democrats are blocking it.

$1400 survival checks was already a compromise. Now some Democrats have taken them away from 17M people.

We have the House, Senate, and White House. Blocking more help for people is unjustifiable.

@peterdaou January. I had the flu.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Losing my mind over the fact that they’re giving the store away to Murkowski for Neera and haven’t even reached out to Manchin on $15. Total caricature of corrupt neoliberalism.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Cost to run US health care system:

—$2,497/person

Cost to run Canada's single-payer system:

—$551/person

The next time someone tells you we can't afford Medicare for all, remind them that our profit-driven system costs *4x more* to run than Canada’s single-payer system.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While the very rich get richer, working class families today are facing economic devastation. Yes. We need to increase direct payment to $2000 for workers and their kids; raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour; expand the child tax credit and extend unemployment benefits.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

It’s difficult at times, but I try to practice this everyday...let’s be hard on issues, but soft on people.

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

What people who call @ggreenwald right-wing are actually saying is that his views - opposition to monopoly, surveillance, and censorship, skepticism of secret police agencies, belief in journalistic fairness - are incompatible with current Democratic Party orthodoxy.
