Thread. ⬇ Legal services attorneys do God's work. And people living in a pandemic in the richest country in the world should not be worrying about security of housing tenure.

130 years today since nearly 300 Lakota Sioux were murdered at Wounded Knee. My mind is stuck on the U. S. Army private whose Medal of Honor cited his "conspicuous bravery in rounding up... a stampede pack animal."

I made a list tonight of all the people I love who have died in the last year. The last year! And none of those close deaths were directly from COVID-19. I cannot begin to imagine the scale of loss so many are suffering.

Talk to any woman at all who has testified about crypto with an objective take and ask her what happened to her on Twitter and in her messages. I don’t talk about crypto anymore on here. I still have a personal harasser from the last time I testified & the harassment lasted weeks
