It is 1 year since the first lockdown. From locking down too late, to PPE shortages, to not lifting Sick Pay, to failing to fix Track and Trace, to not giving mental health services the funding needed, to not rewarding NHS staff with a decent pay rise, the Tories have failed us.

Trayvon Martin was 17. White society didn’t give a damn. Now folks care about age when it’s a white supremacist with a rifle murdering 2 people. GTFOH

If you want to get rid of MPD, you can’t sit back. You (you personally!) need to take action. Educate yourself, talk to others, plug into networks, and be ready to escalate if needed

While we wait for decisions from the charter commission, mayor, & council, we’re on the move - talking to our neighbors, learning about abolition, practicing new ways to keep each other safe, & asking tough questions about where our resources go. We’re glad you’re moving with us.

Pretty nauseating how easily Congress rubber stamped a $4 trillion dark slush fund for Wall St as “COVID relief,” yet somehow $600 for workers in pandemic is controversial. Up close it’s staggering how much resistance there is in Washington to actually helping people directly.

A huge victory for the People's Budget and the Black Lives Matter movements today. The majority of City Council approved our movement's & my office's proposal to reduce the pay of the 13 Police executives ($200K - $300K/year) to the lowest rung in their respective pay bands.

It's a tiny boat half full of kids. This isn't an invasion, it's a group of desperate people pushed into a dangerous option by a hostle border regime that puts the lives of innocent people last. Refugees welcome, migrants welcome. Get in the sea Nigel.

The Israeli government, confident it had beaten the coronavirus, invited students back to school in May. Within days, infections were reported at a Jerusalem high school. It became the largest outbreak in a single school in Israel, possibly the world. nyti.ms/2EJWh7H
