On my watch, we’ve responsibly increased our oil production to meet our immediate needs – without delaying or deferring our transition to clean energy.

True words of a true leader @POTUS. Calling things by their names is essential to stand up to evil. We are grateful for US assistance provided so far and we urgently need more heavy weapons to prevent further Russian atrocities.

It’s a myth of white supremacy to believe that there’s a scarcity in attention, care, and love for our Asian community. Like if this group is getting attention for their issues over there, there’s somehow not enough attention for our issues over here. It’s bullshit.

Employment for high-wage workers, those earning above $85,000 a year, fully recovered by December and even rose above pre-pandemic levels. But employment of low-wage workers, or those earning less than $30,000 a year, was still 14% below pre-crisis levels - and falling.
"Black workers, women and others in low-paying jobs were more likely to become unemployed during the pandemic ... according to research released by the @NewYorkFed." - @Reuters

An intriguing question: Why Are There No Biographies of Xi Jinping?

#BREAKING: I’m filing a lawsuit against the New York City Police Department to bring an end to its pattern of repeatedly and blatantly violating the rights of New Yorkers.

The problem with Twitter is that it's basically a time machine. Or maybe it's a wormhole. It's the place where everything is known, and knowable, all at the same time. And then we (I, I mean me here) want the rest of the world to operate at this timescale. 1/
