I just mustered up every ounce of courage to interrupt White House Press Secretary @K_JeanPierre and urge the Biden Administration to stop approving new coal, oil, and gas projects.
The climate crisis is here now. @POTUS, listen to Gen-Z, scientists, and frontline communities
Connect it <DIRECTLY> to the lack of trees in urban areas populated by minorities and how that contributes to higher temps and complications from higher temps in our neighborhoods. I HOPE THEY SEE IT NOW!
Dolly would never do this. She’d be like “well you GOTto take a pitcher beCAWs one day yer gonna take a look atcherself and say my, my, my, whatever happened to those years? now me, I just cawl my favorite surgeon. I don’t have shame. take a photo honey. it’ll last longer.”
Jason Aldean shot this at the site where a white lynch mob strung Henry Choate up at the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn., after dragging his body through the streets with a car in 1927.
That's where Aldean chose to sing about murdering people who don't respect police.

UPS made $13 billion in profits last year — they can afford to pay fair wages to the frontline workers that made those profits possible. I stand with @Teamsters UPS workers fighting for a fair contract.

naturally folks in the replies are like, "but she's already rich!" which is not really the point here, because if a series regular on a network show is getting pennies as payment, imagine the working class actors who are struggling to book piecemeal gigs throughout the year
the corporations largely responsible for the climate crisis don’t care about us. the climate crisis requires radical action. police will be there to violently shut down any kind of radical action in service of a better world. there is no path to a livable earth while police exist
we've broken the record for hottest day recorded on earth twice this week and atlanta wants to raze a forest -- natural air conditioning, among so many other things -- to build a playground for cops
It’s not even about whether Issa’s husband cares or not, it’s the fact that WE don’t know, that’s important. If he didn’t care, wonderful! If he did care, that conversation is handled between him and his wife.
Feeling uncomfortable in and of itself isn’t the issue.
A California man caught covid at work. He infected his wife who ended up in ICU. So he sued his bosses. The largest lobbying group in the US got involved. The court ruled against the man because a victory would mean “dire financial consequences for employers.” Is it clear yet?🧵
