The trump campaign sent a cease and desist letter to Priorities USA for this ad. So I’m retweeting it.

Was poor for more of my life than I’ve been not-poor, and I’ll gladly go right back to being poor if it means the vulnerable among us aren’t sacrificed at the altar of the almighty dollar.

Food workers.
Grocery clerks.
Cashiers.
Delivery drivers.
Warehouse stockers.
They were never “unskilled workers.”
They were always essential.
And it’s WAY past time they got the respect they deserve w/ a living wage, paid sick leave, guaranteed healthcare, hazard pay, & more.

.@maddow: "If it were up to me, and it's not, I would stop putting those briefings on live TV. Not out of spite, but because it's misinformation. If the president does end up say anything true, you can run it as tape. But if he keeps lying ... Honestly, it's going to cost lives."

Jennifer Senior writes, “If the public wants factual news briefings, they need to tune in to those who are giving them: Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.” nyti.ms/33zCRe4

I am calling on every CEO in America to publicly commit now to not buying back their company's stock over the course of the next year. As workers face the physical and economic consequences of the coronavirus, our corporate leaders cannot cede responsibility for their employees.

Every CEO in America should be focusing on workers, families, and communities — not executive compensation and share prices.

Just a reminder that Our President has been accused of
- Raping his Wife
- Walking in on Naked Teens at Miss Univ. Dressing room
- Admitting to grabbing women by the Pussy
- Raping a 13-year-old child
- Raping, groping or sexually assaulting 17 other women
Yet no one cares

My favorite things are Star Wars and America and they're both being ruined by terrible fans who never understood what was so great about them.

For those of us who give our lives to it, for those of us whose lives were, at some time & in some way, saved by Art, whether music, literature or another art form, art is much more than entertainment or something to make the walls look pretty. It’s what everything else is for. teapawt.net/gowdy2024/status/10134…
Replying to @neilhimself
Why do artists have to pretend art is so much more than it is.. it is a cool thing, entertaining when done well, but it isn't a moral arbiter. Why say that art makes it "impossible to dehumanize" in light of what Fonda, Bee etc say about trump and his supporters on a daily basis?

Beware of outrage fatigue. This administration will keep adding to its list of unbelievable, cruel, maddening and shocking practices and policies, hoping citizens of good conscience grow too exhausted and numb to respond. That's why checking Trump's power this Nov is so vital.

In 2016:
70% of 18-29-year-olds DID NOT vote
60% of 30-44-year-olds DID NOT vote
Only 38% of 45-64-year-olds did not vote & just 15% of 65+ did not vote
There is a reason America isn't progressing. It’s because the people who care about progress don’t care about voting
VOTE!!

Today, police officers assigned to patrol schools can legally use physical force on students, arrest and handcuff them, and bring the full weight of the criminal justice system to bear on kids who are simply misbehaving. aclu.org/issues/juvenile-jus…

After Columbine over 10,000 school police officers were hired just in case a school shooting happened. Two decades later, they haven't stopped a *single* school shooting. Instead they've arrested over 1 million kids, mostly students of color, for routine behavior violations. teapawt.net/Complex/status/9669008…
