For reference, there were 14,000+ arrests at the George Floyd protests.
If it’s not necessary for police to use teargas against the fascists storming the Capitol right now, it’s not necessary in any circumstance.
Just finished listening to The Time of Green Magic by @hilary_mckay. The NYT review was right - it's an instant classic. And Saffron Coomer's narration was fantastic!
My life is at stake. The lives of my brothers are at stake. My niece’s and nephews’ lives are at stake. My cousins’ lives are at stake. This is academic for you guys, but blacks people who have lost loved ones in police custody (as I have) are not waiting for a DiD, RCT, etc.
#BreonnaTaylor should be alive today celebrating her 27th birthday. And because she is not alive our resistance is alive. Birthdays are always the hardest when we want our loved ones here with us. [Painting by @alicexz] 1/3
Hey @kcpolice, is this how you're trained to react to nonviolent protests? And is this how you prove that police don't overreact to people of color? Because you're kind of proving the protestors' point.

Beyond existing manufacturers, why hasn’t fed gov asked other US industrial giants (outside of vent industry) to turn their prodxn lines to making vents, as the UK did this week? If the USG were willing to pay for the effort, perhaps some would find a way to contribute.14/x
“anyone born in Iran, Lebanon, or the Palestinian Territories between 1961 and 2001 should be vetted” So this is where we’re at. Warning received.
“Love to Everyone” (The Skylark’s War in the UK) is a gorgeous book! I could not love it more. Looking forward to passing it along to the rest of the @hilary_mckay fans in my house!
Does anyone know of late-night campaign tasks that sleepless voters can do from home? #SenateHearings #November2018
Don't the vilest and especially the most violent of @realDonaldTrump & @POTUS tweets violate Twitter's terms of service? Does T get a pass?

Americans won't "lose" their health care. It's not like we left it on the bus. The Republicans are taking it from us. Don't take our stuff.

The entire world should be shocked by the level of violence that a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President are willing to use to stop students from criticizing America’s support for Israel.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
I've covered campus activism since the late 90s. Nothing that's happening on campuses now -- sit ins, building takeovers, encampments -- is at all outside the standard vernacular of student protest. What's unusual is administrators calling in riot cops on their own students
How dare you think you have the right to attack our children - for having a conscience? Why call your institutions universities when you are nothing but army headquarters? Nothing but a front for weapons manufacturers and militarized Occupations?
I'm sending a child to freshman year of college this year. Before I pay tuition, I need to know: Which universities can promise NOT to call the police to assault our children?
Hilary speaks to a wider truth about the way we have come to over-value extroverts. I can think of some great "charismatic communicators" who have delighted us long enough. Make room for the @hilary_mckay s Learn to value quietness
There is no such thing as a children's writer any more, I think. The role has changed to performer and communicator charismatic and able enough to deliver to (usually) private schools a meaningful experience based on a book they have had published. The book is the smallest part.
Teaching history as events, as I was taught in grade school, and as I think a lot of people are taught, means that we isolate the actors as exceptional. Eg bad Germans mass murdered Jewish people. 2/
This precludes an understanding of structure eg the rise of fascism, how one group of people can systematically dehumanize another, how state brutality takes hold, and how it can become acceptable to systematically murder people; to commit genocide. 3/
Open question to @MSNBC @nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN and all other news networks. Why in the hell does it take a foreign news network to produce a summary like this? Aren't you ashamed?
This is a must watch 7 minute video from the BBC on Trump and American democracy:
Ah, thanks, BBC, for quoting my tweets in your article and sending the racists my way. But at least you got it right—both the context of this decision and the description of me. “Others on the left” with “more focused anger”? It me I guess 💁🏻♀️
Got a sneak peek yesterday @NobelPeaceOslo & it was very overwhelming. An entire room full of 44 years of Iranian women’s struggle against the Islamic Republic. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate will be represented by her two children, as Narges Mohammadi remains in jail in Iran.
In this exchange with reporters, State Dept Spox Matthew Miller distinguishes between “safe zones” and “de-confliction sites” in Gaza. Miller says people are taking shelter at UN sites, even as UN officials are saying “nowhere is safe in Gaza.” The mental gymnastics are amazing.
@brittshahmehri @BCDreyer Just sent you a PM!
They are correct; this "policy" is indeed aligned to the federal end of the COVID emergency, which is essentially: "Let's just pretend COVID is gone, close our eyes to any signs that it's still here, and not change anything to mitigate spread."
Not to call out my school district specifically, b/c this is the norm everywhere now--but this COVID "policy" is barely a policy. No data collection, we rely on self-testing and self-reporting, and no vaccination requirement. Oh, and no contact tracing or reporting, either.
Shouldn't the CEBA loans be forgiven altogether? After all it was the governments decision to shut down small businesses in the first place. All while Big Box stores remained open and laughed all the way to the bank. Apparently because COVID did not exist in those stores.
If you own a business that is struggling to pay back the COVID-19 #loan you received, you are not alone. The Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB) is asking the government, on behalf of its members, to extend the #repayment deadline. bit.ly/3Ku7EQ9 #debt

The Minnesota Young DFL unequivocally condemns the violence committed against @aishaforward10, her supporters, and DFL volunteers. There is no place for this kind of behavior in our party and we demand those who perpetuated this violence to be held immediately responsible.
Today was horrifying, unacceptable, and indicative of the growing threat to progressive, pro-people candidates and movement leaders. See my campaign’s statement on the violence perpetrated by the Nasri Warsame campaign at the Ward 10 convention today. aishaforward10.com/statements/sta…
