Business leaders of America: the road to hell is paved with your tax breaks and those kids are still wondering if they'll ever see their parents again.
Your interests aren't separate from or superior to the rest of the human race, business leaders. So if you give $ to the racist guy, it doesn't mean a SINGLE THING to me that you gave it for deregulation & tax breaks. Impact > intent.
You WILL be held accountable by the big hearted, fair minded people of this country and we have long memories. The only statement you need to issue right now is "we're not giving any $ to that guy this time around." Anything else is doublespeak and we know it.

Saluting the workers of the world this Labor Day, especially those _having_ to work today.
They accumulate wealth on your backs and all their rhetoric about law and order is primarily so they can keep doing that. Workers are the creators of value and workers should write the laws.
The new labor movement — all the unionization happening lately — especially among people who never thought themselves in need of a union? That's the answer. You want an end to power imbalances? To income disparity? to the rape of this planet for profit? UNION.

Something I said?
So weird how folks so passionate about women's access to healthcare just don't want to discuss how they were paid to Tweet about that #passion.
I'm really asking: if someone was legitimately passionate about something, why _wouldn't_ they want to discuss the institutional support behind that...? Guess I'm just wary whenever someone is reluctant to disclose/discuss the money behind the messages.

I've looked at all the recent CVS news and am not seeing a good reason to be concerned. Subscription service Pill Club seems to be using one particular CVS PAC donation as leverage in a contract dispute w/ CVS. That PAC is controlled by employees not the company or its leaders.
I mean, it speaks to the toxicity of the Trump administration that even an employee PAC that gives fairly evenly across the aisle can be implicated, but I honestly think Pill Club is just trying to piggyback on the legitimate SoulCycle outrage in order to get a better rate here.
Target has taken a firm anti-gun violence stance but its corporate PAC has given to congresspeople w/ A ratings from the NRA. (It gives across the aisle.... )

Here are some reasons why many Democrats take issue with Justice Democrats

• Divisive Provocateurs
• GOP & RU Weaponizes JDs
• Alt-Right Meets Alt-Left
• Voted With Republicans
• Unseat Dems, Not GOP
• Suspect Financial Dealings
• Unhappy Constituents

1/112 Here we go...
First off, gratitude for all the people — whose tweets are included in this thread — who have solid points & pertinent contributions about Justice Dems(JDs). I couldn’t have said it better myself. I hope this helps those who're still wondering why Dems are frustrated with JDs. 2/
Who're they?
"Justice Dems is an American progressive political action cmte founded in '17 by Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk, Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks & former leadership from '16 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. The two are no longer affiliated with group." Wiki /3

It's almost 10pm, and the Florida House is about to take up #HB7123 a bill that would strip local control from school districts and force tax levies to be shared with charter schools.
There is no good reason for them to be taking the bill up at this time of night; they've been in session since 10:30 this morning, and the bill was placed on 2nd reading a full week ago. You can follow along here: thefloridachannel.org
#HB7123 is now being discussed. Rep @BryanAvilaFL is introducing the bill. There will be five proposed amendments to the bill to be discussed.

💦 Thread here on #WhitakerHearing
Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) gaveled in. Open statement focuses on how ethics officials recommended that he recuse from Mueller investigation. Calls their advice an act of bravery. Says Whitaker's decision to ignore that advice falls short.

1/
Nadler continues by discussing Matthew Whitaker's job and media appearances from before he joined the administrations. Mentioned public criticism of the Mueller investigation. Asks why did President choose "outspoken critic of the special counsel" and not someone else?

1. The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions -- Philadelphia Edition!

Nearly two years ago, Philadelphia passed a "soda tax" -- a hefty 1.5 cents per ounce or $1 tax on a typical two-liter bottle -- as a "sin tax" in the national war on obesity. Now the verdict is in.
2. Philadelphians didn’t cut calories as a result of the tax on sweetened drinks, nor did they shift towards drinking anything healthier. Instead, most of them just drove outside the city to buy the same old sodas from stores where they didn’t have to pay the tax.
3. Meanwhile the poorest in the city — those who would find it hardest to drive for many miles to buy soda — just ended up paying more in taxes.

A quick guide to the Trump administration’s ever-changing, contradictory and false excuses/outright lies for ripping innocent children away from their parents and then holding them hostage:
Excuse 1: “The Democrats have to change their law.” Even if it were true that such a law existed (it isn't & it doesn't) or that Dems wrote it (also a lie), Trump’s party still controls both chambers in Congress—and therefore controls what votes take place
Excuse 2: “#CHANGETHELAWS” We want to, but even if we do it doesn’t excuse the immoral & inhumane way the Trump administration is treating kids. If Congress acts today, this administration will still be responsible for the inexcusable child abuse that’s taken place in recent wks
