THANK YOU @oliviarodrigo and every artist, athlete, and entertainer who uses their platform to speak out in industries where there is immense pressure to say & do little bc many believe silence is more profitable. Culture matters. Moments like these make a huge, huge difference. twitter.com/jelousyliv/sta…
Or courage… would go Politicians should walk through the school crime scene tragedies in their states Some will claim that would be disrespectful What’s disrespectful is forcing the children of an entire country to defend gun rights with their lives

Those who claim that nothing can be done just prove they don’t have the creativity or empathy to lead.
Nothing to see here A guy works for the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division, then heads to a law firm repping mining companies, and then he goes back to the same Air Pollution Control Division and instructs others to falsify data

Whistleblowers say state officials see their jobs “not as enforcement or compliance monitoring, but customer service with a smile for the mining sector.” cosun.co/3vwOe3v via @mboothdenver

Before the Oscars begin, in this year of Reckoning, I want to honor what is truly and unmistakably the most important film of the year. It was only 8 minutes and 46 seconds long. It was filmed by a 17-year old young woman under excruciating circumstances. Thank u Darnella Frazier

As always, tries to rip the blinders off our eyes. An important read about a bad wager we have made.

"The time has come to voice our fears and be honest with wider society. Current net zero policies will not keep warming to within 1.5°C because they were never intended to. They were and still are driven...to protect business as usual, not the climate." -> theconversation.com/climate-scient

Govt officials who are supposed to monitor pollution ordered others to conceal it They ordered staff to falsify data and approve permits “at all costs” whistleblowers say

State health says it can't comment yet on whistleblowers, but that "Speaking generally, our modeling policies are in accordance with state and federal laws. . ." coloradosun.com/2021/03/30/col

We are so obsessed with militarism we literally place higher value on the irrational fear of having guns taken away than addressing the very rational fear millions of parents have of their children being stolen from them by gun violence.

While Senate Republicans told us we cannot afford to provide $1,400 direct payments to the working class, they had no problem introducing a bill this week to repeal the estate tax which would provide a $1.7 trillion tax break to the billionaire class. Total hypocrisy!

Natural disasters reveal how brutal & inhumane our system of inequality is. No one should be left to fend for themselves in a natural disaster. This is why we insist on justice in climate policy. In a modern society, equity is as important as technology. We must modernize. #GND

UH, DID COLORADO JUST SEND DIET CORY TO DC? Damn it, @Hickenlooper. This is unacceptable. Undocumented Coloradans are also working at the front lines of our economy in the midst of a pandemic, keeping Colorado running. Do better. CC: @CardboardCoryCO #coleg #copolitics twitter.com/ericawerner/st…

You were given prime space to say this in a billionaire-run rag that specifically amplifies right-wing views, part of a entire subsidized industry of right-wing outlets. You’re not “muzzled,” Hawley. You’re just deeply unpopular, and aided insurrection. And you need to resign.

Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva? Asking for everyone who believes US Senators should be competent and not undermine our elections to incite insurrection against the United States
Quote Tweet
By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.

If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag or gave up on our country.

In the first week of 2021, Big Pharma jacked up the prices of *636 drugs*—including the two most expensive drugs taxpayers foot the bill for through Medicare. I confronted a few of the CEOs responsible for price hikes in October, and I’ll keep fighting to hold them accountable.

Half a million dollars. That's the bonus a Big Pharma CEO got for hiking the price of ONE cancer treatment drug. How many patients lost their lives because they couldn't afford this medicine? Here's our conversation:

I get it, but some of us just spent the last 2 years taking stances that have led to repeated attempts on our lives - for demanding guaranteed healthcare, immigrant justice, etc. Sorry if this lacks empathy, but it’s a privilege if this is their first time. They can do one vote.

Crow is right. Numerous House Rs have received death threats in the past week, and I know for a fact several members *want* to impeach but fear casting that vote could get them or their families murdered. Not spinning or covering for anyone. Just stating the chilling reality. twitter.com/MeetThePress/s…

The second I realized our "safe room" from the violent white supremacist mob included treasonous, white supremacist, anti masker Members of Congress who incited the mob in the first place, I exited. Furious that more of my colleagues by the day are testing positive.
