To deflect from his crimes, Donald Trump is attacking @ColorOfChange for supporting progressive prosecutors. He posted a video naming Color of Change and philanthropist George Soros, and violent threats against Color of Change have followed predictably. 🧵 Will you stand with me in supporting the organization to beef up security and continue to do its important work advancing accountability for all, now more than ever? Equal justice means that nobody is above the law and nobody is beyond its protections.

The Lesson of January 6: Zero-Sum Racism is the Biggest Threat to U.S. Democracy. medium.com/@heathercmcghe… By tracking the hundreds of insurrectionists who have been arrested over the past year, researchers from @UChicago were able to conclude that the rioters’ primary driver was “fear of the ‘great replacement’, the belief that the rights of minorities will overtake that of whites.”

As we start this week, remember, #BuildBackBetter is:
$3.5T *over 10 years*,
which is just 1.2% of GDP.
With ~$1T in tax cuts for the rest of us,
it's ~4% more spending. THAT'S IT.
And we get:
fast wifi, child&elder care, paid leave, lotsa jobs and a shot at SAVING THE PLANET. More on the millions of jobs #BuildBackBetter will help create, mainly in manufacturing, clean energy and care: epi.org/publication/ii…

🧵My TED talk is live! A prejudiced C-SPAN caller...the financial crisis...our gutted safety net all made me ask: "what if racism has a cost for everyone?" #CostsofRacism @TEDTalks bit.ly/thesumofus 2/"Racism leads to bad policymaking. It’s making our economy worse, in ways that don’t only disadvantage people of color. It turns out it’s not a zero sum. Racism has costs for white people, too.” bit.ly/thesumofus @TEDTalks

THREAD: My family went to Iowa to volunteer for our next president @ewarren. She is fearless & superhuman smart. Politics' best communicator. I've known her for almost 20 years & have never met her like. America may not deserve her, but I pray we get her. #AllOfUs4Warren @ewarren 2/I believe @ewarren is our best chance to beat Trump, harness this women’s movement moment and remake the Democratic party. Trump’s relentless attacks on her & fake populism show he knows it, too.
