    Another huge crowd tonight in Portland, including a new "wall" on the front lines: a Wall of Vets. Here's a look at the line of military veterans getting set up here in front of the federal courthouse. Behind them, the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Dads are arriving.

    Thank you and ! There are already reports of 90+ degrees in units. These severe conditions are not new, and we can no longer accept how we CHOOSE to torture people. Join us tomorrow at 11am as we demand change.

    💯- workplace safety should not fall on clients or workers. It is the responsibility of employers to ensure they are providing safe workplaces and we need the gov't to enforce the law when it is not being followed.

    I'm getting my first manicure this weekend since the start of *all this* and did quite a bit of research to make sure there were safety protocols in place to protect the workers and me. Safety should be a thing that is just standard and doesn't require thought.

    Don’t choke black men to death. Refrain from shooting unarmed individuals. Don’t kettle peaceful protesters. Don’t stop and frisk millions of innocent people and build mistrust. Create an actual disciplinary system that holds officers accountable.

    This is really unfair. Have we forgotten how FDR made states solve the great depression on their own? JFK told each state to launch its own moon rocket? Reagan left each state to demand Gorbachev tear down that wall? Obama just let states provide its citizens healthcare?

    “Their ultimate goal was to shift responsibility for the pandemic from the WH to states. It was at the heart of a catastrophic policy blunder and an attempt to escape blame — perhaps one of the greatest failures of presidential leadership in generations.”

    In December John Lewis presided over House vote to restore Voting Rights Act. Bill has been sitting on McConnell's desk for 225 days. Best way to honor Lewis is for Congress to revive law he devoted his life to & call it John Lewis Voting Rights Act

    Police killed 6 years ago today. Officer Daniel Pantaleo held him in a banned police chokehold. He was never criminally charged, and only fired last year. Almost 1,000 people have reported the NYPD using banned chokeholds on them since Garner's killing.

    Eric Garner was murdered six years ago today. It took five years for his killer to be fired- only a semblance of justice for his family. Our collective fight for the dignity and respect of black lives endures.
