this is just a reminder that the police can choose to de-escalate when they want to.

I want a public response from each and every one of my Republican colleagues: do you think this is ok?

never forget.

I've organized dozens of protests, some in DC. I have witnessed the efficiency and ruthlessness that law enforcement can deploy when it's ready. DC is probably the most policed metro area in the world. This happened only though the complicity of law enforcement.

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

These resignations mean nothing. Let's stop reporting & retweeting them. These people don't deserve our attention after enabling orange man for this long. Their jobs were already over! That they think resigning now means anything is a sign they thought Trump would stay. #Adios

America's most effective crisis response are donations made by regular people. I don't think that's sustainable.

I never win raffles but the Universe knew I needed Once I Was You, a beautiful and powerful narrative by the shero Maria Hinojosa 🥑 Thank you The OpEd Project for the prize. OlgieWan can't wait for our book club #NoHumanIsIllegal

By law, the VERY FIRST ppl excluded from the US were Asian/Chinese women in the 1880s. Then came The Chinese Exclusion Act. This country has hated Chinese/Asian ppl and specifically Asian women for well over a century. Talk abt this history of hate. Name it. See it.

Good morning! RT if you think today would be a good day to eliminate the filibuster.

You can’t keep murdering people and then calling for peace. That’s not how anything works.

Don't make the mistake of buying a Royal Holiday membership. The value doesn't justify the cost. They promise you glory verbally but not in writing & contracts are long term (30 yr). Fees increase. Buying in 2004 is one of my dad's biggest regrets & he's stuck with it. BEWARE

You are not “burnt out”. You are exploited, overworked & underpaid. Use language that accurately describes the underlying problem. Your body isn't broken; the conditions you're enduring are what's broken. Your body is accurately & normally responding to exploitation.

Some people aren't getting vaccinated because they can't afford the time off of work to get vaccinated and to deal with possible side effects. Think about that. If we want to increase vaccination rates amongst those making 50k or less, we'd have to give cash/paid time off.

Questions for people who refuse to get the vaccine due to potential side effects/say it is "experimental" 1. If you get COVID would you go to the hospital for treatment? If yes, move to #2

I just don't get how your immune system is supposedly strong enough to handle a virus that has killed over 600K people in the US but not strong enough to handle a vaccine that 169 million Americans have taken and survived.

The Parkland Cops ran away. The Buffalo Cop was killed instantly. The 3 Cops at Uvalde were overpowered, then waited 40 min to enter the school. Veteran Cops repeatedly failed—but we’re supposed to expect Lunch Lady Doris & School Nurse Betty to stop a terrorist with an AR-15.😑
