And so we wake up and we drag ourselves to work surrounded by men who will ask us what’s wrong because they don’t even know or they’ve forgotten already or they agree.

Every Tennessean needs to read this. 37 counties contract out to this barbaric mockery of a justice system. This is infuriating, unacceptable, and absolutely deplorable. Boots on the ground, folks, it’s time to organize.
For more than a year, WPLN and @ProPublica have teamed up to report this story. Here are some of the takeaways of the investigation from WPLN's @meribah Knight and ProPublica's @bykenarmstrong. teapaw.org/i/events/1446519798528…

Well, given that only about 1/3 of rapes are even reported, then I would say that the vast majority of rapes are not convicted, yes. Rape is both a crime and an act; the crime isn't the only thing that matters here. I know many women whose rapes will never be 1/2

#BREAKING: Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy Chair @CongressmanRaja released a staff report showing that some baby foods are tainted w/ toxic heavy metals that endanger infant neurological development & long-term brain function. It’s clear: our babies deserve better.

Here's a short film I directed starring the indescribably talented @kausartheperson and @maazyali. We shot it over the span of two nights, shoestring budget, majority desi/Muslim cast & crew which for us meant a normal cast & crew. I hope you enjoy it! vimeo.com/424408178

For sitting on public property. Authoritarianism at it’s finest. @GovBillLee, I’d love to know how much that stunt today cost the state of Tennessee. How could I find that out?
Demonstrators were detained and cited tonight outside of #TNLeg.

So @EliseAmezDroz writes a shit article (insulin prices aren’t a problem bc it’s “only been 12 deaths”; just “use Walmart insulin.”) When we give her pushback, she locks down her twitter. IF YOU CANT TAKE CRITICISM DONT BE A JOURNALIST. News reporting necessitates accountability
So my friend @EliseAmezDroz published a nice, politically-benign piece in @njdotcom. It outlines why introducing biosimilars to compete against pharma monopolies will reduce prices and increase access to insulin. Uncontroversial, right? #Insulin4All nj.com/opinion/2020/06/insul…

Rep. @AOC: "If you are calling for an end to all this but not calling for an end to the conditions that created it you are a hypocrite. I just cant with people saying we need to end this violence as if charging someone $1000 a month for insulin they need to survive isnt violent."

Lawmakers systematically destabilized unemployment over the past ten years due to cruel, ideological falsehoods. Rather than fix it, it appears they would rather throw their citizenry into the midst of a pandemic and roll the dice with our lives. My take: tennessean.com/story/opinion…

WAYNE COUNTY: Admitted Child Sex Abuser Rep. Byrd Officially ANNOUNCES he’s running again and a HUGE LIAR Said he wouldn’t run. But here he is... and he says the CORONAVIRUS is why he’s needed in office. Gross. @CSexton25 @GovBillLee @StateRepCurcio this is on YOU. @stopbyrd
