RT @kai_newkirk: .@NicholsUprising @RoKhanna @AOC & others are right: we must insist that Congress fully uphold its constitutional duty to lead during this crisis. Going into recess now is unacceptable. It's time to join the 21st century and enable remote voting & debate in emergencies like this. https://t.co/YulWnXWeXN
It did not have to be like this. It is a failure on the part of Democrats & Republicans, from the President, to the House, the Senate, and to our nation's governors, that April 1st is going to hit, and tens of millions of American, in the middle of a pandemic, will have nothing https://t.co/Rv1FvLf2Js
RT @davidminpdx: NYPD are like a suicide cult. Rather than radically scale back their countless needless interactions with the public, they engaged in business as usual and refused to social distance. The result is tons of infected officers and the acceleration of the pandemic. https://t.co/N3vyY4PCjG
RT @ABC: NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio says city will investigate former Amazon worker's allegation he was fired for organizing protest over fears of a coronavirus outbreak at a fulfillment center: "If so, that'd be a violation of our city human rights law." https://t.co/qHhDGYpm7e https://t.co/rLrYSvsPWh

RT @janosmarton: Day 28 of @NYGovCuomo's emergency powers & still no relief for incarcerated elders. The virus spreading through prisons, and the prisons aren't ready. Will a reporter please ask tough questions today about COVID-19 & our prisons? What is holding up emergency clemencies? https://t.co/OAv0bHITRo
RT @davidminpdx: American police are a suicide cult. Rather than radically scale back their needless interactions with the public, they failed to social distance and largely engaged in business as usual.

RT @thrasherxy: Lorena Borjas was a true Jackson Heights, Queens original—a trans Latina who bailed ppl out of jail, saved sex workers from policing & fought racism & transphobia.

RT @KeeangaYamahtta: Why should we pay for any healthcare? Why should you be charged money to treat asthma, diabetes, cancer or any of the underlying conditions that make COVID-19 deadly? How can anyone at this moment in human history suggest paying for healthcare as a rational or just? https://t.co/mXpC1yBEMy
RT @chesaboudin: In San Francisco we reduced the jail population by 25% since the emergency was declared. We must avoid the tragedy unfolding in NY where my dad is incarcerated.

RT @_waleedshahid: We had a year’s worth of media coverage that declared without reservation that plans put forward by Biden, Buttigieg, and others were more “pragmatic” because they allowed people to “keep their health care plan” without ever addressing what happens when you lose your fucking job. https://t.co/d12Ic3zXwc

RT @sarcasmickeith: @matthewstoller @JAdomian With $6 trillion, you could give every adult in America $2300 a month for a year. They can absolutely afford it, it would be a huge boon for the economy, top to bottom, they just don't want to set a precedent of actually helping the American people over corporate interests.

Pay attention. When @GavinNewsom runs for president, this will be his "stop & frisk" moment.
