Check out this episode on International perceptions of the US elections, I'm one of the people that had the pleasure of chatting with Jenny about it! #Election2020 #BidenVsTrump

For my fellow Europeans: there's an initiative before the EU Commission to propose an EU-level Universal Basic Income. If you're an EU citizen, take 2 minutes of your time to sign it. Signing period ends on the 26th of June. eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public

Girl, how do the monkey and the goat know each other?

Trump v Biden They added a small TV and enclosed them in plastic instead of metal “It’s different” 🥴

ERASING LEFTISTS OF COLOR There is a group of people in America who are regularly dismissed, shunned, and marginalized. I'm referring to the actual left, particularly leftists of color. Anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-oligarchy. To them, these headlines are ludicrous:

"You want unity? We probably have more unity today in America around this package than anything that I can remember. How does it happen that 40-50% of Republicans support this legis, we can't get one vote from Republicans. What's going on?" Bernie Sanders lighting up the GOP

After the 2008 financial crash, the majority of people were made to pay for a crisis they didn’t create. Not this time – we need to reset the economy to put people, jobs and planet first. Austerity and neo-liberalism should be put in the dustbin of history where they belong.

People don’t care about keeping the filibuster. People don’t care about listening to the parliamentarian. People care about getting the relief they need. Do what it takes to raise the minimum wage to at least $15.

How it started vs how it’s going.

This report is "a red alert for our planet" says UN Secretary General @antonioguterres As long as this doesn't dominate the news we stand no chance of reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement and thereby securing future living conditions for humanity. #FaceTheClimateEmergency

The Senate Parliamentarian has decided that the $15 minimum wage can't be included in the stimulus bill. But the Senate Parliamentarian can be overruled by the Vice President. If Biden and Harris actually care about raising the minimum wage, they should overrule immediately.

27th November 2019. Jeremy Corbyn warned us that the Tories were handing our NHS over to USA. The press called him a liar. Today, 500,000 NHS Patients have been handed over to a US Private Health Corporation. Corbyn was right.

"The richest 10% of the world creates almost 50% of emissions. Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions, because they are the ones in control of what is produced and consumed." We need #ecosocialism to build a Green New Deal and reverse inequality

AN INSULT $15 minimum wage by 2025, when it should be above $20 today. Means-tested $1,400 one-time check, reduced from $2,000, when it should be $3K monthly retroactive to March. THAT IS AN INSULT TO PEOPLE, NOT AN ACHIEVEMENT.

@BethLynch2020 Yup. 15$ Minimum wage is not enough anymore. We need to advocate for a higher number and/or tie it to inflation and/or based on State/district rent averages. Back in the day, 1 person working a SINGLE full-time job could support a family of 4. Wages have stagnated.

Rent should be 30% of your income. Even in states with the cheapest rent, if you are being paid $15/hour RIGHT NOW, you're still likely paying more than 30% of your income in rent. And, um, rent is only ever going up.

Let's talk about poverty in a real way, please. Raising min wage to $15 by 2025 would lift 1.3 mil. above the official "poverty line", but the poverty line hasn't been updated since the 60s, and doesn’t take into account geography, housing, transportation, child care, or HC costs

This was one of the most heartbreaking moments of AOC’s IG live
