"[S]ince the end of August, deaths from the coronavirus have doubled in counties with a large college population... Few of the victims were college students, but rather older people and others living and working in the community."

Send a letter to your U.S. representative right now and urge them to co-sponsor H.R. 4052 —
@AyannaPressley's legislation to abolish the death penalty on the federal level.

Our government killed Brandon Bernard tonight.

Brandon mattered. The death penalty only perpetuates a cycle of trauma. We have to end it once and for all.

1 in 6 U.S. residents will soon face hunger amid the #COVID19 pandemic, says @FeedingAmerica. For children, the figure is 1 in 4.

The group saw 60% more food bank users this year, and about 4 in 10 visited for the first time: "Everybody's just worried about their next meal."

There will be no update today.

At 8:30 am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech.

They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint.

They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids..

I've now been sick, first with COVID then with post-COVID symptoms, since April. I wrote this mostly because, well, the pandemic won't end when there's a vaccine for many, many people like me.

Finland is currently pushing for a six hour workday. This isn’t a radical idea. Data shows it’s better for workers well-being and actually increases efficiency/productivity. Better conditions are necessary and possible.

If you've been hearing the word "austerity" thrown around a lot but aren't sure what it means, here's a #mustread explainer: https://t.co/5jDFTzyq88

Today, a worker must earn $23.96 an hour to afford a modest 2 bedroom apartment – $5.74 more than the average tenant makes. As a result, 18 million families are paying over 50% of their income on housing. We need to raise wages and build 10 million units of affordable housing.

"Ultimately, this isn’t just a question of dollars and cents. It’s a question about who we want to be as a nation. If we want to form a more inclusive government, we need to open our doors to young people who can’t afford the price of admission." https://t.co/7vvjTBOgwc
