[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

This is how white liberals & conservatives work in tandem to preserve the white power structure.

“Conservatives” are given leeway to blowtorch democracy & erode civil rights while “liberals” pretend to be powerless to stop it. It all just serves to preserve status quo racism.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

The New Yorker staff writer @huahsu has won a Pulitzer Prize for his memoir, “Stay True.” In an excerpt, published last year, Hsu reflects on how American music—and a pair of fax machines—connected him to his father. https://t.co/3GaJ2IvaXz

Sweetie, you discourage me from wearing sleeveless dresses but encourage my right to bear arms — which is it?

[Chris Tackett (aka See It Name It Fight It) @cjtackett]

They tell us “we don’t want these books in school libraries” and “people can get them at public libraries”

Then it’s “we don’t want them in public libraries” and “people can get them at book stores”

Now they are going after the book stores

Pay attention to a lot of free-market-folks calling for social safety nets in the coming days and weeks.

"Where were the regulators?," asks @mcuban. "They are supposed to watch and warn."
Answer: SVB's president told them to go away, saying the bank's portfolio was so low risk that watching them was unnecessarily burdensome.
SVB lobbied to change the rules; the Trump admin obliged.

weird how it’s ok to bail some people out but not others

[Nathan Tankus @NathanTankus]

But wait Mr. Summers, i thought our problem too much demand?? Writing down start-up deposits seems like a great way to reduce demand. But i guess some people should never take a loss while others should lose everything

"Wherever you live, you must remember you are no longer a human being in this scenario. You are a pawn to push, an asset to mine, and an imposition should you grasp the plan. At every step of the way, you are seen as disposable." -- THEY KNEW

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Norfolk Southern, the company whose train derailed in Ohio and unleashed chemicals, made a record $12 billion in revenue last year.

Instead of investing in better safety measures, what did the company do? It authorized a $10 billion stock buyback.

Corporate greed, folks.

[Felix Krause @KrauseFx]

Twitter, algorithmic timeline, showing tweets of people I don’t follow, no APIs, reach of tweets random (trust the algorithm), how is this now different to the Facebook or LinkedIn feed? All value and purpose of this social network got completely destroyed within the last months

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

Whether it's conservatives violently attacking liberals, or liberals being violently attacked by conservatives, both sides have a violent attack problem.

@ringer Airplane! ✈️ And don’t call me Shirley.

[Segregation_by_Design @SegByDesign]

Construction of I95 in Miami required the forcible relocation of over 12,000 residents—nearly 100% of them black. Using eminent domain, the gov't seized buildings across the heart of Miami's black community in Overtown, offering owners well below market rate—and renters nothing.

@JakeRudh Rush, Signals. It holds up. Very new wavey / Police-inspired, in hindsight.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

It’s no secret why the GOP is gutting the Office of Congressional Ethics. This is just the start of what will be an unashamedly pro-corruption, anti-democracy House majority.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

When Jonas Salk invented the polio vaccine, he refused to patent it. That decision cost him an estimated $7 billion.

When Stéphane Bancel, Moderna's CEO, got taxpayer funding for the COVID vaccine he became a billionaire overnight and is now worth $6.2 billion.

End this greed.
