Robert ReichI refuse to tolerate a system that lets the 500 richest people add $852 billion to their wealth in the past six months alone, but doesn’t raise the $7.25 federal minimum wage for over a decade.

Mr. NewbergerBy including a social studies lesson on how Black people benefitted from skills they learned under slavery after freed, Ron DeSantis’ DOE has triggered a National discussion recognizing that racist policies led to racial inequalities. That’s CRT! Now you’re teaching it! Ha ha ha!

Fun fact: during early development the gonads of the human fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female.
- So, if biological sex can't be changed,
- And if life starts at conception,
- Then all men are trans.
Sorry, Republican men. You made the rules.
Judd Legum1. A South Carolina high school forced an AP English teacher to scrap a unit on Between The World and Me, the award-winning memoir by Ta-Nehisi Coates

I attended an interfaith event last Friday & the evangelical pastor lamented to me,"America's lost her way because we've forgotten Jesus."
I responded, "As a Muslim I love Jesus too—but when exactly would you say America 'followed' Jesus? Was it during Native Genocide? Slavery? Jim Crow? Denying women equal rights? While invading Iraq?”
Deafening silence.
If you want to show me your faith, first show me your service to ALL humanity—regardless of faith or no faith. B/c faith w/o works is dead.
Here are the facts:
•45% of homeless people have mental illness
•66% of homeless people suffer from addiction
•44% of people in locally run jails & 43% of people in state prisons have a mental disorder
•68% of inmates suffer from addiction
If we truly believed that mental illness and addictions were illnesses—not crimes—then we'd allocate resources accordingly. But we don't, because that's just not profitable.
Jordan Neely's murder was preventable. But our policies made his end inevitable.
Annual Deaths in America from:
•Alcohol: 140,000
•Tobacco: 480,000
•Marijuana: 0
The pearl clutching over marijuana legalization & decriminalization is not grounded in facts—but in fear mongering propaganda & racial injustice that arrests Black people 3.7X more than white people, despite similar rates of use.
Annual cost of SNAP: $113B
Annual revenue lost through billionaire tax evasion: $163B
GOP: Clearly the only solution to our debt crisis is starving the poor
MAGA GOP says they’ll raise the debt ceiling if they can cut food stamps for low income Americans. 😳 This is supervillian'esque behavior.
Just horrific. Low income people will needlessly starve as a result of this GOP cruelty.
Again, our problem isn't that we can't feed our neighbors in need—it's GOP can't satisfy billionaire greed.
@MSNBC @JenRubin Ms Rubin’s comment on @velshimsnbc this morning regarding people who live in red states “should look around and ask why young people don’t want to move here” or “ask why the state government is run so poorly” clearly hasn’t talked with anyone who lives in places like Alabama. WE ARE DOING THIS. Do your homework.
