Dr. Wang gave up a promising medical career believing that self-sacrifice for his country is the most noble value. He should have returned home a hero. Instead, he was kidnapped and sentenced to life in solitary confinement after a half-day sham trial based on falsified evidence. source

Today, Dr. Wang Bingzhang turns 73 in solitary confinement, where he has languished 18 years for dedicating his life to democracy, human rights & the rule of law in China. Today, we celebrate his monumental accomplishments and lament what could have been. link source

What happens when we guarantee $15/hour?

💰 31% of Black workers and 26% of Latinx workers get raises.
😷 A majority of essential workers get better pay during a pandemic.
📊 Income inequality improves across the board.

We're in the worst crisis of our lifetime. $15 can't wait. source

Our country has the moral obligation and responsibility to reunite every single family separated at the southern border.

The amount of trauma that was created at the hands of the American government is something we can’t look away from. Congress and @POTUS won't look away. source

从自由人权的角度看，这种话就像一个之乎者也的前清老族长对一个受家暴要离婚的妻子说，“支持你们好好谈，但绝对不可以离婚”，满满的老朽味道。港独港统，台独台统，都是他们自己的事情，是他们的权力，管外地人什么事？
强权只是霸道，不是真理。 link source

「法国也有恐怖分子教育中心」这个论据曾多次被中共喉舌们引用来合理化正在新疆发生的一切，今晚又听到一个自称「学习反恐」的女士在CH上一个讲新疆集中营的频道里大放厥词，对维族人民进行二次伤害。

今天就好好聊聊这个事，所有信息都来自法国公开的资料。 source

We promised people that if we won the Senate, we would send out $2,000 survival checks. They delivered us to victory—and now we MUST deliver.

“Targeting” checks to a smaller group fails to do that. People need help like never before, and we must put money in their pockets. source

This discussion in Chinese on Xinjiang is still going on in Clubhouse. Good running thread below. One speaker just asked if 20% of Han Chinese were locked up, forced to speak Uyghur, etc, how would Han Chinese feel about that? Remarkable link source

The pandemic hit in 2020. We should not use 2019 income to determine relief eligibility. source

It would be outrageous if we ran on giving more relief and ended up doing the opposite.

It’s sad that this is even an argument in the Dem party. COVID relief is disaster relief, & it’s urgent.

Our first act out of the gate should be big, bold, and strong. Not weaker & smaller. link source
