@anatosaurus [the other day, I was arguing the other side of this, however - ] reading this, am thinking of • "Stop Apartheid!" • "Abolish slavery!" What if the challenge = creatively focus on the story/image of both problem & solution without letting the problem define the terms?
My grandfather worked 45 years in the coal mines. He was a paying UMWA member & died of black lung. I was told I was not allowed in UMWA union halls to speak to local members because the leadership endorsed a corrupt governor's daughter who is for Right to Work. Let that sink in.

.@SenAlexander, Tennesseans are in an unemployment crisis equal to that of the Great Recession. 360k in TN are out of work and can't put food on the table without an unemployment benefits extension. Erin is just one of many constituents that is counting on you:
I mean I could retweet @BillHagertyTN without a mask every day but #whereisyourmasktn.. there are so many older people in these pictures that are high risk for hospitalization... Including Hagerty.

“We can’t win economic justice without racial justice!” - Sevina from the Poor People’s Campaign @UniteThePoor #StrikeForBlackLives
I believe that in organizing the most important and most overlooked step is the first one. One individual choice that must come before the collective one. That comes from no union or organization. But common experience. The choice to talk to your fellow laborer.
New series: #wheresyourmasktn Where I retweet our TN representatives not wearing masks at their events! So @PaulRoseTN , where is your mask?!

Right now in @GovBillLee’s Tennessee: Nonviolent protests in public plaza = criminal trespassing Using megaphone = disorderly conduct Sidewalk chalk = vandalism Troopers rushing people randomly with no orders, people running in fear = evading arrests #FreeCapitolHillTN

@DannyDeraney @BarsottiKlb Would far rather see an otter hunting its own food in the wild. Don’t know circumstances here but the fad among elite in Asian countries for stealing them from the wild to be pets & teach them tricks is driving these beautiful creatures to extinction. 🙁
