Covid came and there was nothing we could do about it. It’s the US government that has made it the level of destroyer that it is. #DirectCashRelief

It says “anger is never justified,”and I understand that level of things. But it also says not to “foster level confusion.” There’s a difference between transcendence and denial.

Anyone not outraged about what’s going on today just isn’t looking. Equanimity based on denial or delusion is not what we need.
Today someone said I look and sound angry. That doesn’t begin to describe what I feel. I’m a mother. #ReliefNow

1 in 5 American children are food insecure (in the richest country in the world). 12,000 children starve in the world every day (and there is no dearth of food). This is not a hunger crisis. It's a moral crisis.

Well said. #AbolishTheDeathPenalty
The federal government under Donald Trump has executed more individuals in recent months than had been executed in the preceding 60 years. The death penalty is inhumane and fraught with error. No government should have this power. It’s past time to #AbolishTheDeathPenalty.

There is no evidence of a steal. I'm sorry. Republican as well as Democratic election officials all over America have certified these votes. You are being lied to.

It's built into the system now that that only a few can easily afford health care, only a few can easily afford higher education and only a few have the financial means to pursue their dreams. This is a bigger problem than just Repubs v. Dems. This is oligarchs versus the people.
Average annual tuition for public college by country:
🇩🇪 $0

🇨🇳 $3,300
🇰🇷 $4,578

We need to take a cue from our peers & ensure no one in America has to go deep into debt for an education.
