Many thanks to Brian Williams for hosting me on @MSNBC with @apalmerdc @DrJasonJohnson discussing #BidenHarris2020 remarks today, and much anticipated national mask mandates for next 3 months, and other federal measure

Two former Pinterest employees filed suit against the company, alleging that Pinterest knowingly and deliberately under-leveled and accordingly underpaid them for their responsibilities and experience: bit.ly/3fUUnhB

We did it!! Austin City Council just reduced APD's budget by over $100 million *and* reinvested resources into our community's safety and well-being. Tens of thousands of you have called, emailed, and testified. You made the impossible into a reality. #blacklivesmatter

Worth reading this from Dahlia Lithwick:

"The real catastrophe is that Americans are dead and dying and their president is mass-producing a television show about his presidency, with their personal tragedy as a set choice."

More images as volunteers try to feed the kids donated food and drinks for dinner tonight. But most children are still devastated and crying for their parents and can’t eat. FULL STORY TONIGHT ON @WJTV. #FocusedOnYou

This video is of Jimmy taken in Baghdad two weeks after his deportation. I’m sharing with permission from Jimmy’s lawyers. Jimmy has been in the US since he was 6mo old—he was born in a refugee camp in Greece to Iraqi Christian parents. RIP

Actually, that would make government better - not worse.
Imagine if more people in power spent years of their lives actually working for a living.
We’d probably have healthcare and living wages by now.

Now I’ve seen the inside of these facilities.
It’s not just the kids. It’s everyone. People drinking out of toilets, officers laughing in front of members Congress.
I brought it up to their superiors. They said “officers are under stress & act out sometimes.” No accountability.

This just broke: a secret Facebook group of 9,500 CBP officers discussed making a GoFundMe for officers to harm myself & Rep. Escobar during our visit to CBP facilities & mocked migrant deaths.
This isn’t about “a few bad eggs.” This is a violent culture. propublica.org/article/secre…

CBP made us check our phones.
But one woman slipped me this packet to take with me.
It says “shampoo,” but she told me that this is all they give women to wash their entire body. Nothing else.
Some women’s hair was falling out. Others had gone 15 days without taking a shower.

Donald Trump's day so far:
- Goes utterly bonkers about impeachment
- Doesn't even know how impeachment works
- Meltdown about imaginary new caravan
- Deutsche Bank begins giving Trump's financial records to New York State
- Trump is going to prison
- It's still only 6pm

Let's keep it #Trending.
Congress has a responsibility to protect the constitution from would-be dictators, individuals who break the law, and violate their oath of office.
#ImpeachDonaldTrump
#ImpeachDonaldTrump is trending because most of America wants Trump to be impeached. 🤣 Logic. 🙌🇺🇸

Throwback Thursday ⤵️
“You don’t need to have been convicted of a crime. Impeachment isn’t about punishment. It’s about cleansing the office.”
- @LindseyGrahamSC
Sen. Graham himself established a standard that demands Trump’s impeachment.

Decided to take a cab tonight and was reminded why I don’t care if the whole NYC cab industry is put out of business. You think the cab-passes-Black-guy-to-pick-up-white-guy thing is a worn out trope until you are Force to live it again and again. #IHaveNoSympathyForThem
