@tcburning Yay! Happy birthday!

A mental health episode should not be a death sentence. Walter Wallace Jr. should be alive today. For him, his mother and his loved ones, we must dismantle systems that criminalize Black mental illness and respond to mental health episodes with a violent police force.

Yes! Choosing beween the economy and the environment is a false choice. We need a healthy environment for a healthy economy.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

If we thought the problem and the solution to the tragedy of Breonna Taylor was simply prosecuting these cops, then we’re not understanding the broader systemic conditions that allow for the kind of policing that disproportionately imperils Black Americans...

Their actions are unconscionable.

The same senators who worked overtime to secure a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for corporations and the super-rich are leaving town for nearly a month as 40,000,000 Americans are one rent check away from eviction.

6 yrs after Mike Brown’s murder, I watched Whose Streets https://t.co/dQj0z4o5UX - powerful and loving story of the activists calling for justice in Ferguson

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

I was taking care of a patient the other day who was very seriously injured. And I stepped out to talk to his family briefly and give them an update. For context, he was Black. I told them what was going on quickly and asked if they had any questions. And this is what they said.

Putting the federal spending in perspective

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The next time you hear Trump and McConnell claim we can’t afford to bail out the American people remember that the first coronavirus stimulus included bailouts for hedge funds and private jet companies.

It’s not about the price tag. It’s about priorities.
