    NYC's home care workers were originally only going to be eligible for the vaccine on January 11th. They're now eligible NOW, but this tweet is maybe the only way you'd know. If you are/know/work with a home care worker/personal care aide, please share this news!

    UPDATE: the timetable for home care workers has been moved forward, and they are now eligible.

    It’s embarrassing that a corporation enjoying pandemic profits, millions in PPP & more in tax giveaways is fighting a $1 raise for essential workers who‘ve risked their lives all year to feed us. It’s time we stand up for essential workers everywhere. Thank you 💪🏽

    Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles.

    If you are advertising for a "POWER BI CONSULTANT" you should be obliged to include the qualifier "SOFTWARE PLATFORM" in the subject line to avoid getting my hopes up.

    Last night, the NYPD broke up a picket line in the Bronx and arrested several strikers. These guys work all day lifting heavy boxes, so produce can get into the city. They are on strike for an extra $1 an hour

    “Hands up don’t shoot!” We condemn the arrests of several peaceful strikers on the picket line tonight at Hunts Point Market. These essential workers deserve their $1 raise

    Instead of learning their work and policy recommendations and doing everything we can as researchers to help get these shared concerns on the table, I see white men rebranding as “disinformation,” “extremism,” and “conspiracy” experts. It’s bumming me out.

    It’d abhorrent to have been arguing for simple policy fixes for years and only have support for them when hell touches down for the white middle class. BIPOC and women have been organizing for decades to get policies enforced for community safety online.

    Becca wrote, “In a media environment consisting of networked influencers, YouTube must respond with policies that account for influence and amplification, as well as social networks.” This recommendation was simple, clear, and I told every company of the implications.

    Let’s be clear that the UK has had a pretty shitty COVID response but let us pause for a moment to appreciate a nationally managed healthcare infrastructure and what it does for vaccination logistics.

    In the UK, more people have been vaccinated than have tested positive for COVID 🇬🇧 This milestone shows how far we've come in our national effort to defeat this virus THANK YOU to everyone for staying at home to protect our NHS & save lives as we accelerate the vaccine roll-out
