Lowest unemployment in 50 years. Weekly wages rising faster than inflation. Just 3 years after a near total economic shutdown that might have lead to a sustained depression. We’re not out of the woods, but maybe it’s time to admit that
@POTUS
& Congress did something right.

Wow. The US added a massive *517k jobs* in January, more than double the consensus estimate.

It’s just funny that as the quality of everything from airlines to infrastructure to food safety and availability to healthcare continues to precipitously erode around us millions of people blame socialism, an economic system that we do not live under

Classified docs - a shopping analogy: As Biden walked out, the buzzer went off and he realized he mistakenly failed to pay for an item in his cart. He went back in and returned it. Trump stuffed items in his pockets. When the buzzer sounded, he ran to his car and peeled out.

What a story—and so superbly told by veteran ⁦
@washingtonpost
⁩ journalist Gregory S. Schneider. It will alternately surprise, enrage and delight you. And what an inspiring profile in courage and decency his subject, Devon Henry, turns out to be.

White contractors wouldn’t remove Confederate statues. So a Black man did it.
Devon Henry stepped in to remove almost all of Richmond's Confederate statues after White contractors refused. It changed his life.

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows. Don’t you dare act surprised.

Without Twitter, Ahmaud Arbery’s killers would’ve never been arrested. George Floyd’s death, even with the video, likely wouldn’t have sparked national outrage. Without twitter, we’re at the mercy of news outlets for reporting & you see how they publish police reports as fact.

In Maricopa County, Arizona, election workers are working 14-18 hour days counting ballots. They are working through the Veterans Day holiday. Do NOT let anyone tell you election workers are anything other than devoted public servants and guardians of our democracy. 🇺🇸
