USMCA goes into effect today, but Mexico continues to persecute union activists. Susana Prieto Terrazas, a labor rights activist and lawyer, was wrongfully arrested almost a month ago. There is no fair trade deal when workers’ rights are under threat. #FreeSusana #SusanLibreYa https://t.co/K2QwigebJx
On July 1, Israel plans to illegally annex the West Bank. If they do—blatantly violating human rights & intl law—Congress MUST put conditions on US funding to Israel. We cannot keep rubber-stamping @Netyanyahu's destabilization of the region at the expense of Palestinian lives. QT @JTAnews: At this point, House Democrats have made it clear: Israel should desist from annexing parts of the West Bank. https://t.co/gwZSSHzPXg)

#JUNETEENTH2020, marks 155 years of freedom for enslaved people. 155 yrs marred by limits to that freedom at every juncture—from Jim Crow to housing & healthcare inequity and police violence. No more lip service, we need to act to ensure equality for all.https://t.co/rHNo5tdKnT
2020 has made clear: we need to re-think where our federal dollars are going. We need federal investments in our communities—not $740 billion for weapons & wars. @RepBarbaraLee & I will be introducing an amdt to cut 10% from this year's $740 bn defense bill.
Thanks @RepMcGovern! This #Pride, I am especially grateful to Aimee Stephens. Aimee's courage in the face of discrimination brought her case to the SCOTUS & her victory brought our community a big step closer to equality. Rest in peace Aimee. Next, I nominate @RepMikeQuigley!

.@CBP had millions to spend on medical care for the immigrants they inhumanely detain. They used it for dirt bikes, ATVs & dog food. Immigrants are in cages, but glad you got your 4 wheelers. This administration is defined by its cruelty. https://t.co/5fPJyoFcdb
RT @NicholsUprising: Donald Trump promised to build “a beautiful wall.” And here it is! https://t.co/usvIZIZSDA
Police brutality has gone on too long and too widespread for one arrest—or even three arrests—to solve this problem. No more band-aids. Together, @USProgressives are working with @TheBlackCaucus to ensure that we see a slate of systemic solutions come forward. Justice NOW.
Two of the largest U.S. producers of tear gas? Owned by private equity firms. Make no mistake, state-sanctioned violence against peaceful protesters lines the pockets of predatory private equity firms. Circle of life—GOP militarism to corporate wallets. https://t.co/1POtscbvBH
Yup, the same colleague who wore a gas mask on the floor of the House, and then later got Covid-19, just got censored by Twitter for suggesting violence. Because he’s acting like a jackass, not an elected official. He just loves the attention. Mommy or Daddy issues I guess... QT @mattgaetz: Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?)
This #MagicMonday, we're throwing it back with @RepValDemings to another time when @realDonaldTrump enraged us - even then, we had to put the pieces back together ourselves. https://t.co/fQilvpdafE
We’re reaching 100,000 deaths in the U.S. Over 1.6 million cases. You have no national testing plan. You refuse to use the Defense Production Act to produce supplies the states need. Your response has & continues to be an utter failure.

For months, experts have agreed we need to test millions/day. Sunday, the Trump 'testing plan' said 300,000/day is enough. I trust the experts. My COVID-19 Emergency Production Act forces Trump to actually use the DPA to produce the level of PPE & testing supplies states need.

@realDonaldTrump There’s video dude. Are you just bullshitting now to show how gullible your followers are?
Billions of dollars in defense spending increases won't solve this pandemic. It's about time we see taxpayer dollars support the American public—not line the pockets of defense contractors. I led 29 Democrats who agree: we must decrease defense spending. https://t.co/jyBG1MXVJV

So now they're blaming communities of color? The U.S. has the highest death toll in the world b/c this administration failed & continues to fail to respond to this pandemic adequately. All the while leaving people of color behind. https://t.co/g8xOrDKVZv

Solidarity with these & other journalists right now. @viceunion is right—Workshare is one of the best solutions outlets like @vicenews can use to keep workers paid, avoid layoffs & survive this crisis.

The Federal Reserve put @blackrock—a massive investment management corporation—in charge of its corporate bond-buying program. A program BlackRock has profited off of.

They can't even control the spread of coronavirus in the White House. How can they look at us with a straight face and tell us we should be reopening the country? They'll protect themselves. But they refuse to protect this country. https://t.co/GR1Y5Bh1Yl

The disproportionately large COVID-19 infection rates w/in communities of color build on centuries of inequality in our nation.
