“Israel is not being held to a different standard – but apparently the government of Israel wants to be held to no standard at all.” 13 Israeli NGOs defend Amnesty International's report charging apartheid.

Only in Texas is a 12 year old not mature enough to read a book, but mature enough to have a child…

I've known Tony Fauci for years, as a friend and colleague. The courage and perseverance he has shown to keep fighting for the public health in the face of withering and unhinged attacks is remarkable. He really is "up against more than a virus." Read 👇 https://t.co/S7xWfRPvwy

[3/3] Mark my words: No kid ever committed suicide because they read a cuss word in a book. LGBTQ kids commit suicide because they feel there is no place in the world for them. The right book, at the right time, can save a life. Our kids deserve that chance.

Voter suppression bills are not about preventing voter fraud, they are all about historic Black voter turnout. That’s why we’re on the ground in Washington D.C. rallying for voting rights.

SENATE, DO YOUR JOB!
IT’S REALLY THAT SIMPLE.
DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.

TODAY. Would you help me share this image, along with the following quote from my father, across the globe today?

“This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action."

THREAD: As #Omicron surges and our systems strain, I wanted to share my #COVID19 experience in NYC last month. It was actually a hopeful window into what a society where we look out for one another and a government that is set up to truly care for us could look like.

West Virginia is
50th in public health
50th in childcare
48th in employment

They support Build Back Better by a 43 point margin.

This has nothing to do with his constituents. This is about the corruption and self-interest of a coal baron.

I wish Kevin McCarthy loved delivering for working families as much as he loves the sound of his own voice.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Farm workers have been excluded from many basic labor protections since the 1930s, when Rep. Kevin McCarthy began addressing the House.

[Marc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill]

And please believe that Governor Stitt knew he was going to commute the sentence yesterday. Still, he had Julius Jones undergo all the rituals and rites of execution. This is part of the cruelty and perversion of an immoral state with unmerited power to decide who lives and dies.
