When China’s farms industrialized, many small farmers sought to become purveyors of wild food. As big farms took up more land, the small farmers were forced to raise or hunt animals closer to the forests where the most exotic pathogens might reside. https://t.co/RfwVHTJwdD
"Every woman worrying she’s miscarrying alone and every grandmother dying alone is paying for the Tuckers and Megyns stoking fears so they can afford a slightly larger third home," writes @morninggloria. https://t.co/9dlb2b2sX0
The job market situation is simple:
After the 2008 crash, employers were able to hire workers for much less than they were worth and got used to having a ton of leverage in the employment market.
They want to do the same exact thing now, but workers aren't having it this time.
I can’t emphasize this enough— state and city officials literally engineer the conditions of poverty and conflict and then cite these things as the reason to fund militarized police forces instead of reducing poverty & or preventing violence.
As we are reliving the horror of George Floyd's murder, we are now mourning 20 year old Daunte Wright who was murdered after being stopped for an expired license tag.

JUST IN: a progressive win in Wisconsin.

Americans should not have to live in fear of gun violence every time they go to the grocery store or school or synagogue or church or movie theater or nightclub or spa or college campus.
We cannot go on like this. It’s past time for gun violence prevention measures and reform.
The Jim Crow filibuster was used during the 1920s to block anti-lynching legislation.
It was used in the 1960s to block civil rights legislation.
It will be used in 2021 to block racial justice legislation.
So y’all good with this⁉️👀
Devastated to hear about the latest attack on the Asian community.
This incident reiterates the need to protect this community from bigotry and violence.
To our Asian brothers and sisters, know that you are loved and you are seen.
We must end Asian hate.
Hey, @RonJohnsonWI. Black Lives Matter protesters are already in the Capitol. We’re here to legislate in defense of Black lives — stop by our office anytime. 👋🏾
Today marks 365 days of injustice.
Breonna Taylor’s murder was an injustice.
The ensuing cover-up was an injustice.
Daniel Cameron’s mockery of a grand jury hearing was an injustice.
Tillerson unloads on Trump’s foreign policy record: “Nothing worked out. We squandered the best opportunity we had on North Korea...With Putin, we didn’t get anything done. We’re nowhere with China on national security.” https://t.co/4Zk43edLCN
