@ShaolinDignan One of the lesser known benefits of our system: If your employer doesn’t love your health insurance, you don’t get to keep it. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

If you love your health insurance, you can keep it. Unless someone decides you can’t keep your job. Then you don’t have any health insurance. Or you have to pay even more for it with money you don’t have. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the video of my discussion today with @HorvatSrecko for @DiEM_25 TV about coronavirus, killer capitalism and the 2020 election: https://t.co/5hjdDsJIDD — PolitiTweet.org

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted You started this off by making a completely false allegation about me as a person. And you haven’t corrected that. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted You’re also lying. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted I’ll keep doing the work I’m doing to support a wide range of activists and organizers & to highlight the conditions of the most vulnerable in our society as I’ve always done. And you can lie & tweet things about your wife. Because that’s the extent of the work I’ve seen of yours — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted Are you still using your feed to be a liar? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted So to summarize: you lied in a grotesque way. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted And CSA promotion is a bad thing? I was community sourcing info for people on how to get local food as an alternative to Amazon and support farmers who are struggling. You somehow think that’s a bad thing? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted “Show promotion”? Our show is often organizers and activists explaining their work. And yes, I will promote that and it is why organizers want to be on the show—because it helps raise funds and awareness. More than your tweet about “my wife...” — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking @intercepted I’ll put my 20 year record up against yours any day of the week. “My wife did this” is all you have. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@eCareDiaryJohn @itsarah95 @shaunking Instead of grotesquely lying, you could look at the shows we have done on @intercepted and the platform we give organizers and activists all the time. From immigrant and prison rights groups to LGBTQ organizers to boosting Mutual Aid COVID efforts to striking workers and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org

@itsarah95 @shaunking I’m glad you weren’t leading movements for change throughout history. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@itsarah95 @shaunking Yet here you are poo pooing people who are fighting for what’s right. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@itsarah95 @shaunking You’ve chosen to troll people demanding an urgently needed solution. You say wait until it’s realistic. How do you think things become reality? History shows it happens when people fight and demand and refuse to be dissuaded by people who say it won’t work. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@itsarah95 @shaunking Yeah. The tried and true mantra that’s been so effective throughout history: “power concedes nothing without people conceding everything right away.” 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

@derrin376 @shaunking What about people who lose insurance and have cancer? A stroke? A heart attack? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Mike Bloomberg and Jeff Bezos made their money off the blood, sweat and tears of workers in this country and elsewhere. Philanthropy is crumbs to them and doesn’t represent a minuscule fraction of what they owe working people right now. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Amazon pays what amounts to no meaningful taxes. But how do we pay for healthcare? FOH. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

A lot of people who ask how we pay for it seem to have no problem voting for Trump’s obscene military and surveillance budgets or corporate bailouts. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Imagine watching millions of people about to lose their healthcare and, instead of demanding it be free right now, advocating for people to be encouraged to spend money they don’t have buying insurance through a program filled with for-profit healthcare options. — PolitiTweet.org

As with all health and economic crises, the people hit hardest are always the most economically vulnerable. COVID-19 doesn’t discriminate, but our system does. It is built to prioritize the lives of the rich over everyone else. https://t.co/W0u1i9Z9Rt — PolitiTweet.org
