Pelosi and Mnuchin are hopeful they’ll be able to reach a stimulus deal by Election Day. Tens of millions of Americans are hopeful they’ll have enough food to last till then. #DirectCashRelief

This story is so tragic. It was also preventable. Policing in America must change.

Chevron committed horrendous environmental crimes against a huge swath of the Amazon and against Ecuadorians who live there. Now they're coming after the human rights lawyer who held them accountable. #FreeStevenDonziger video.vice.com/en_uk/video/a…

Decades ago corporate taxes provided 33% of the public treasury; today they provide 11%. Not coincidentally that was when America had a thriving middle class. Tax policies favoring the corporate elite has been and continues to be the primary driver of income inequality.

That will always be true & no amount of money can fix it. But UBI will eradicate a lot of the despair that leads to that, and the creativity & productivity it fosters will override the consequences of enabling. All policy enables. Right now we enable greed among the very richest.

It’s an odd psychology that makes people resist giving $1000/mo to hard-working citizens to buy what they need, yet be OK with billions/yr given as subsidies to industries already making huge profits destroying the planet so that a tiny group of people can buy whatever they want.

Your calling it communism does not make it communism. You’re just throwing around the word. A sarcastic emoji is better than an outright lie.

UBI doesn’t just give someone enough money to live: it removes enough anxiety that she can breathe, be present for her family, go about creating the life she most wants for herself & participating as a citizen in the life of the nation. It’s a moral as well as economic imperative

Next time he runs, Greg Abbott should be given a crushing defeat at the polls. He is literally using his power to suppress democracy.
Gov Greg Abbott wins again and once again prevents Houston voters from being able to drop off mail in ballots at multiple locations. Voters have to mail them in, or drop off at only one location.
