One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about cruel people having unprecedented wealth and power over all of us.

An amazing legacy. Dr. Fauci’s life of service is an example to us all.

In Opinion
"Dr. Fauci walked through the fire with us, and his friendships with AIDS activists deepened with time, bound by a shared trauma," writes Peter Staley, an early member of the AIDS activist group ACT UP. nyti.ms/3WDI67j

Appalling transcript. Not just the apparent witness tampering, but also holy shit how many spaces does one need after a period?!

A right-wing think tank is now a church in the eyes of the IRS. It’s part of a growing movement of activist groups that are seeking church status.
And it’s all perfectly legal. Here’s how 👇

The way culture has become the measure by which some view class is disturbing.
The right wants you to believe a car dealership owner who listens to country is working class, but a blue-haired Starbucks barista w/student debt unionizing their store is some kind of woke elite.

Truly wild how the Democrats' most popular president in American history helped the working class and was elected to four straight presidential terms and then the modern version of his party decided it was savvy political strategy to never again do anything that he did.

Memo to Dems:
Vow to end the filibuster, codify Roe, and reform SCOTUS so that codification can't be struck down.
And pressure GOP candidates on whether they support a national abortion ban.
As @samuelmoyn puts it, Dems must "declare war on SCOTUS."

THREAD. I wrote some quotes that can be inserted directly into every news article that talks about “crime data” or “crime rates” or “crime surges” or a “crime wave" to provide the context that is lacking from most media coverage about crime and safety:

As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion - they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage civil rights.
Manchin is blocking Congress codifying Roe. House has seemingly forgotten about Clarence Thomas. These 2 points must change

So first @FedEx damages my iPhone return shipment to the point they never deliver it, then @AppleSupport “investigates” and can’t find any record it was sent — uh what about the tracking number on the very label that @Apple provided? @FedExHelp What am I supposed to tell them?

Wow @TheGroveLA this @EvGateway_EVG charging experience is the worst I’ve ever had. A $40 hold? Form requires a “Mail ID”? (Huh?) Garbage app. It was so terrible I couldn’t even get it to work and drove away. Why can’t you get something decent like @ChargePointnet ?

GREAT idea: require vax to fly. “And although air-filtration systems and mask requirements make transmission of the coronavirus unlikely during any given passenger flight, infected people can spread it when they leave the airport and take off their mask.“— theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Am often asked about different vaccines and their efficacy
Each trials tracks, reports efficacy differently
Currently, we have preliminary results for Novavax and J&J
But what numbers matter? What should you look for?
Here's one set of data to track. In a simple table
