I’d say expropriate this immediately but honestly I’m not sure the rest of us even want it. Maybe we can make all the billionaires go live here together? Probably crueler than the guillotine, honestly.

[TIME'S UP @TIMESUPNOW]

84% of Latinos & 80% of Black workers couldn’t work from home pre-#COVID19. Black & Latinx workers are more likely to work in low-paid jobs, in essential industries like food production & custodial services with high risk of exposure. #WomenOnTheFrontLines https://t.co/t74Dvc4NWn

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If only there were some public fund billionaires could pay into along with everyone else that helps fund our infrastructure, hospitals, and public systems all at once.

It could even be a modest % of what they earn every year. We could have an agency collect it and everything

[Louisiana Survivors for Reform @LSReform]

Mama Glo contracted #COVID19 in prison where at least 85% of women there tested positive. It’s a miracle she recovered & because @LouisianaGov hasn’t signed her commutation she is being transferred back to that prison. She’s been approved for release. #freemamaglo #FreeBlackMamas

[Louisiana Survivors for Reform @LSReform]

Gloria Williams is 74 yrs old and was approved unanimously last year by the Board of Parole to be released. She’s a survivor of DV and is Louisiana’s longest serving female prisoner. We are waiting on @LouisianaGov to sign her commutation. #freemamaglo

[Louisiana Abortion Fund @LAAbortionFund]

The politicians behind Louisiana's clinic shutdown law aren't medical experts. Merritt, who works with abortion patients every day, knows that patients should be able to make medical decisions free from political interference. #MyRightMyDecision

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

I have never voted for a candidate in my life.

But I will be voting for Bernie Sanders in the democratic primary and the general election. If I’m doing that, there are probably tens of millions in that same position.
Let me explain why I’m doing this now:

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

I'd like to talk about who we're running against: A billionaire who calls women “fat broads” and “horsey-faced lesbians.” And no I'm not talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg. #DemDebate

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

Senator Warren summing up her thoughts on Michael Bloomberg says: Democrats don't need to "substitute one arrogant billionaire for another."

[Michelle Goldberg @michelleinbklyn]

I don't know how anyone could watch Warren filleting Bloomberg tonight and not want to see her onstage with Trump

[RAICES Action Fund @RAICESACTION]

The Democrats cannot win without supporting the immigrant community. #DemDebate

[Stephen Colbert @StephenAtHome]

I wonder how much money Bloomberg carries around with him. If only there were some way we could stop him on the street for no reason to search through his pockets.

[Ladies Arm Wrestling @weareNOLAW]

Ok Louisiana. To vote out @BillCassidy would be so so sweet.

[UltraViolet @UltraViolet]

Trans women are women.
Trans rights are human rights.

No one should be afraid they’ll lose their job because of who they are or who they love. Sex discrimination has no place in the workplace.

Love to all who are living loud and proud naming, proclaiming, exploring, perusing, switching, experimenting with or trying on their gender and sexuality. Come out when you wanna. Or don't! It's up to you and we love you regardless. #nationalcomingoutday🌈 Art by @deathtodickens

[Ladies Arm Wrestling @weareNOLAW]

Our past beneficiary, NOLA to Angola, has extended registration for their October ride til July 26! NtA is a solidarity bike ride that funds free buses for folks to visit their incarcerated loved ones. https://t.co/lprSyJqOOF

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

👋🏽 I am where I belong, at the people’s house and you’re just gonna have to deal!

[Louisiana Center for Children's Rights @LAKidsRights]

Last month, the city moved six children to the adult jail due to overcrowding at the juvenile facility. Only one has been moved back. #KidsOutofOPP #KidsNotCages #JaquinThomas
