THREAD. Two Harvard professors published an academic article calling for 500,000 more armed cops, who they say will arrest 7.8 million more people per year. The article reveals alarming flaws in elite academia at a time of rising fascism. This is one of my most important posts.

this is just not a thing that happens

Last year, the deficit fell by $350 billion. This year, it'll fall by $1.4 trillion. And, because we’re making corporations pay their fair share and giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices, we'll reduce the deficit by another $250 billion over the next decade.

The most dangerous thing facing Georgians is 4 more years of Brian Kemp.

The J6 committee did an irrefutable job showing that Trump's coup attempt was premeditated & rooted in lies rejected even by top Trump officials. And yet 2 years later, GOP politicians can't stay in good standing with the party unless they defend the indefensible ... (1/3)

Regardless of what motivates Kanye West, an attorney general defending someone for a lengthy public attack on Jews is a new dimension to 2022

A reminder that Tommy Tuberville was a collegiate coach for nearly 30 years, during which he coached scores of Black players. He made millions off their abilities, but here’s what he really thinks about Black folks.

Herschel Walker just said he'd vote YES on a national abortion ban. We've got to make sure he never gets to cast that vote in the Senate.

Shout out to Massachusetts and the people of Martha’s Vineyard for showing the world what the best of America looks like 🇺🇸 It’s unsurprising that they also send some of the best to Congress, like @ewarren, @EdMarkey, @AyannaPressley, @RepMcGovern, @RepKClark and so many more!

Exploiting vulnerable people for political stunts is repulsive and cruel. Massachusetts is fully capable of handling asylum seekers, and I'll keep working with local, state, and federal partners to ensure we have the necessary resources to care for people with dignity.

As a child, I was put on a train and sent off by the government to a faraway place we’d never heard of. As a survivor of that policy, I am appalled by what governors in TX and FL are doing now. Politicians back then treated us as political scapegoats, less than human. #NeverAgain

Everything you need to know about today: - Democrats at the White House, marking action to reduce the cost of Rx Drugs, Health Premiums, Energy - Republicans in the Senate trying to ban abortion in all 50 states

AND - the recent federal court decision in TX challenging #ACA requirement that insurers cover #PrEP with no cost to pts, based on #USPSTF rec, could derail #HIV prevention & Ending the US HIV Epidemic efforts & will worsen disparities. This simply cannot stand. @InfectDisNews

Today, @POTUS is traveling to Ohio to deliver remarks at the groundbreaking of Intel’s new $20 billion semiconductor manufacturing facility. Thanks to the President’s economic plan, U.S. manufacturing is back. https://t.co/hy5uYGl99l

It's no accident that 71% of Americans have a favorable view of unions the highest since 1965, while just 36% hold a favorable view of corporations the lowest since Wall Street crashed the economy in 2008. The American people are sick and tired of corporate greed.
