How is the system not working? It’s benefiting rich white people so I’d say it’s doing exactly what it’s designed to do. Sinema used to claim to be a lefty. Clearly she never believed in anything but her own personal power and wealth.

.@kyrstensinema on why she supports the filibuster: “The reality is that when you have a system that is not working effectively... The way to fix that is to fix your behavior, not to eliminate the rules or change the rules, but to change the behavior.”

I’m willing to trade higher congressional pay for eliminating private money in politics across the board.

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

Congress is corrupt in part because their pay is way too low. Senators get paid less than a first year associate in a corporate law firm.

If you don’t pay your officials they get paid anyway, they just stop working for you in the process.

Yet, pride month started as an uprising against police violence towards Black queer and trans folks 🤔. #DefundPolice #StonewallUprising

Pretty sure being married to a white woman won’t protect any Black man from police intent on murdering and assaulting them.

Again, this is part of the state trying to make racism an abstract concept to avoid addressing the nuts & bolts operations of daily structural racism. Interracial coupling, which has existed forever, is not a sign of hope, esp as they give more $ to the cops assigned to kill us

The cruelty Palestinians suffer at the hands of the IDF literally makes me cry. The tide of public opinion on this can’t turn soon enough.

[Abier @abierkhatib]

I’m speechless.The cruelty, the tyranny.

Notice how there’s all this mainstream and establishment focus on the atrocity of the Tulsa Massacre yet the idea of making direct reparation to the victims and their descendants remains an outlier proposal. They have no intention to dismantle racism.

The weird thing isn't that Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open to take care of her mental health. The weird thing is that we have a society that even after 2020 still makes it weird when someone wants to take care of their mental health.

[abolish police, abolish prisons @the_hetz]

The first person to finish reading my first novel loved it. That feels good.

[abolish police, abolish prisons @the_hetz]

Wow I am blown away by all the reply-guy takes on Naomi Osaka’s well-being. We have a lot of work to do getting this society to see people with mental health issues with compassion and decency.

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

4/ Some wars are righteous, some are not. But our modern wars have not been. The soldiers who died in Viet Nam & Iraq died more because of the folly of the American defense establishment and its unholy alliance with the military industrial complex than they died to defend freedom

[abolish police, abolish prisons @the_hetz]

Mental health is essential and everyone has the right to say no for mental health reasons. I empathize with Naomi and commend her for taking care of herself.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Amazing how white people commit atrocities in one generation & then they just disappear from existence. No descendants, no names, no current wealth or land holdings that can be identified as a result of the atrocity. Only Black survivors exist with living memory, apparently.

@Arbitrarymagi Peaceful, democratic means.

[abolish police, abolish prisons @the_hetz]

I have nothing but well wishes for the families of lost soldiers, but when are we going to solemnly commemorate the innocent civilians and soldiers we’ve slaughtered around the world? Every life lost to war is a tragedy.

[abolish police, abolish prisons @the_hetz]

@brikeilarcnn When are they going to notice the 1,033,000 dead Iraqis?

@ih82tweetdood Those would be the ones open to red-brown.

Everyone who thinks Uber will go away if enlightened people just stop using it is sorely mistaken, I’m afraid
