Listening to @CoriBush at the Capitol saying “I am heartbroken that the Administration didn’t get this done.” If America is home of the free and the brave, she said, “Bravery didn’t show up here yesterday.” #ExtendTheMoratorium

4/ They didn’t expect too big a reaction to this & as usual they failed to consider long-term consequences. But the reaction is real; it’s important to keep it up. I hope someone will wake up & make this right for the sake of those effected & for the sake of our political future.

3/ Lifting the moratorium is a way of saying “OK, you had your break, now get back to work.” Extending the moratorium would have given people more of a chance to consider other options, to be part of a collective challenge to the chronic reality of survival wages.

2/ They didn’t *want* to extend the moratorium. And why? Because the very people most at risk of eviction are the people they want to go back to work at the low paying jobs that are available now.

1/ The more I think about the failure to extend the eviction moratorium, the more I think there were powerful forces working against it. Too many people are saying “Hey it wasn’t us, “It wasn’t us, “It wasn’t us.”

Please amplify.
BREAKING: Two prominent U.S. Senators – Ed Markey and Sheldon Whitehouse – are asking tough questions about my unprecedented private prosecution by a Chevron law firm.
The Senate has finally broken its silence. Chevron's sham prosecution must end now.

I’m not normally for heading to a lawmaker’s house, but this was such an egregious slap in the face to people in need. I hope @SpeakerPelosi is getting the message loud and clear.
SAN FRANCISCO: we’re headed to @SpeakerPelosi’s house at noon in solidarity with @CoriBush.
We call on our Congresswoman to reconvene the House for a vote on extending the eviction moratorium.
Media advisory below.

There IS a difference. The infrastructure bill does a lot, from universal pre-K to extending child tax credit to paid family leave to providing child care. And there are Democratic House & Senate members who would go much further if the president and other members were willing.

Democrats are very good at saying how much they care and doing too little about it. At least Republicans don't pretend. Sort of messes with your head less. #RaiseTheWage #CancelCollegeLoanDebt #FreeCollege #MedicareForAll #ExtendtheMoratorium
