If you're enjoying your long weekend, remember that you have a weekend break from work because of the labor movement. /1

154K dead. No national mask mandate. No national testing regime within 24 hrs regardless of symptoms (necessary to get a pandemic under control). No relief package for those in economic dire straits. But heck - we're going to get a Tik Tock ban from the guy who went golfing.
The guy who went golfing is also going to use armed security against American civilians to protect statues of dead racists.
The guy who went golfing meanwhile doesn't give a shit about Russian bounties on US soldiers. Claims ON THE RECORD that it is just a hoax that never reached his desk - even though it was in the PDB, & thus ON HIS FUCKING DESK.

PSA for Republicans: Please stop posting photos of yourself with John Lewis (or Elijah Cummings 🙄). Just stop. You were-at best-silent on civil rights, & mostly enablers of white supremacy & Trumpism. But once a civil rights hero is dead, you jump on the lionizing bandwagon.
We know what you are: craven hypocritical posers, and active enablers of the forces of evil that have taken over this country. You are everything that is the OPPOSITE of civil rights. Own your Trump devil & keep your filthy hands off John Lewis' legacy.
John Lewis knew Trump was illegitimate. He was one of the 1st Democrats to say so while many others were playing "let's pretend everything is normal."

#GoodTrouble is not easy; it is the hard path, the courageous path; & the path we are all called to in these terrible times.

HD Thread: These are unprecedented times. A Pandemic. More than 105k dead. More than 40 million jobless. Our international standing stained. Our international alliances damaged. And amidst the new civil and human rights fight. /1
All of this under the rule of a racist, sexist, xenophobic, predatory, corrupt, mendacious, narcissistic, autocratic, constitution-subverting, science-free, tool of foreign hostile governments. And all amidst the new civil and human rights fight. /2
As some of you know, I write about other countries for a living -- countries where people risk life and limb to vote in elections where their ballots don't count, but they do it anyway, hoping that it is a downpayment on the democracy dividend they will see some day. /3
