    There is tons of internal pushback at Facebook, but the fact remains that this is a company largely run by one guy's decisions. Facebook's moderation decisions consistently waver based on the politics of the people that will give Zuckerberg more power.

    I'd be remiss if I didn't applaud and thank for her relentless advocacy on this issue since joining last year. She's been an incredible champion in pushing the Federal Reserve to do more for working Americans.

    Here's in 2019 pushing Powell on whether relationship b/w inflation and unemployment was falling apart. Powell agrees, saying they've "learned that the economy can sustain much lower unemployment than we thought without troubling levels of inflation."

    0:55
    After asking Powell why the Fed has so consistently gotten the natural rate of unemployment wrong in the same direction, follows-up by discussing the breakdown of the Phillips Curve, and the idea that unemployment could be much lower without inflationary worries.

    How can you watch this and deny that racism exists? White men with guns are engaged by police with no fear, while a Black man with no gun was shot 7 times in the back. Truth is on display. Calling for strategy, dismantling, organization, commitment and leadership.

    This is astonishing video. Officers in Kenosha in military vehicles stopped to engage with armed white men, told them they were appreciated and offered them bottles of water.

    For media outlets and journalists choosing to use the word “boycott” over “strike,” we should ask them to explain why.

    NBA players are courageously on strike (withholding labor), NOT boycotting (withholding their $ /purchase). The diff is important bc it shows their power as *workers.* The courage this takes is profound. WNBA organizing in this moment MUST be recognized too.

    A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15. He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives. Fix your damn headlines.

    Avoid the vague "officer-involved" for shootings and other cases involving police. Be specific about what happened. If police use the term, ask: How was the officer or officers involved? Who did the shooting? If the information is not available or not provided, spell that out.

    Say it with me: the issue of DC & Puerto Rico statehood are not 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 same.👏🏽 PR is a colony of the United States. Justice isn’t the colonizing country deciding fate for the colonized. It is the people’s decision. The word is self-determination, not statehood. ¡Gracias! 🇵🇷

    Puerto Rico must determine its own future, not Congress. Our bill enables that, write and . Many of our Democratic friends want to make the territory a state, but many Puerto Ricans see that push as the culmination of colonization.

    The woman the GOP picked as their “proud” Latina to tout “immigrant experience” didn’t seem to know that Puerto Rico is already part of the United States. It’s quite on message, bc it reflects their belief that Latinos aren’t real citizens, even when we are Native descendants.

    "Proud Latina" Kimberly Guilfoyle should know that Puerto Ricans like her mother Mercedes have been U.S. citizens since 1917. Therefore, she was not an "immigrant."
