Many people will turn George Floyd into a martyr today. We must fight to remember that he did not *give* his life for justice, for our movement, for an uprising. He wanted to live. He fought to live.

I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check. I just found this out. If you are homeless, you can go to a tax return office where they will file something called EIP return. They will put the money on a debit card after. Retweet.!

A lot of people are mad over broken windows at starbucks, but somehow stay silent when the city destroys the tents people live in.

Utility shutoffs are a rampant public health threat. A federal study found that a utility shutoffs moratorium could have reduced COVID deaths by 14.8%. @Potus @CDCDirector: we urge you to impose a utility shutoffs moratorium via executive order.#NoShutOffs washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Analysis | The Energy 202: Biden under pressure to stop utility shutoffs during pandemic

The police at the #seattleprotests just ran over an injured mans head with their bikes. @SeattlePD is this how you train your officers?

“Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, n that doesn’t mean he has the supplies, or the pond is accessible or hasn’t been depleted or made toxic by commercial fishing. Also, did he ask you to teach him? I didn’t think so, Kevin.” nonprofitaf.com/2020/08/25-p…
