Human beings are social animals and it is love that brings us together, while anger drives us apart. To live more peacefully and joyfully in our day to day lives, we need a warm heart.

NEW: Effective immediately, NY AG James & I are suspending state debt collection. NYers with student debt, medical debt & other state-referred debt will have payments frozen for at least 30 days. We're doing all we can to support those suffering financially due to #COVID19.

One enormous, major lesson that I hope people realize in this moment: Resistance to revolutionary policy was never really about a lack of money, or capacity, or logistics. It was always about power and a lack of political will.

Govs: Extended stay-at-home orders cannot be successful without issuing mortgage, rent, + debt moratoriums to go with them. Many people are going out bc they are panicked about paying bills due next wk on the 1st. Payment suspensions keep ppl indoors. Bills bring them outside.

and a rent freeze please.

Very saddened about this.

GOP is seriously arguing that it’s worth sacrificing the lives of hourly workers so they can get a spray tan again. If they really wanted to reopen the economy, they‘d fund mass testing, contact tracing,& healthcare for people. Instead they’re fighting against hospital funding.

🗣 Rent is due on May 1st and Republicans are fighting against rent and mortgage relief

🚨 MAYDAY: Tenants in NYC & across the country are crying out for rent and mortgage relief. Many of the 30+ million laid off workers can’t pay record-high rents. Ilhan Omar’s bill provides relief to renters & small property owners to prevent economic collapse of working families.

The Trump admin is now projecting 3,000 daily deaths by June, and they are STILL pushing to “reopen.” We are now careening towards one 9/11-scale death event *per day.* This was all preventable w/ tests, tracing,& policy. Instead the GOP showered their friends w/ bailout money.

In Denmark, starting pay at McDonald’s is about $22 an hour. The workers there get six weeks of paid vacation, a year’s paid maternity leave and a pension plan. Like all Danes, they enjoy universal medical insurance and paid sick leave. This is what a civilized society is about.

A $1,200 check ain't enough. We need $2,000 a month, per person, to make America's working families whole. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

I see a lot of corporations releasing bland statements w a hashtag. No. This moment calls for transformation. Your statement should include your org’s INTERNAL commitments to change, particularly if you’ve been called on it before. Give people change. forbes.com/sites/alexreim…

Bullshit.

Compassion reduces our fear, boosts our confidence, and opens us to inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connections with them and a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
