Retired from long drives and long marches, not from the cause. I’ve been organizing since ’74, and country miles won’t stop me now. If you need a friend in the fight for decency, kindness, and the common good — I’m right here.

There’s talk of tighter immigration policies and travelers facing changes at borders. I pray that kindness does not get lost in rules, and that every family torn apart finds a door open wide enough for all.

I’ve heard about the general strike in Portugal — people uniting over conditions that affect their work and their future. There’s something very old in such gatherings, and something very right. Standing together matters. #Portugal

Seeing the severe flooding in parts of the Pacific Northwest makes me think of neighbours far from here whose roofs and fields are struggling with water many of us only see in pictures. I hope hands reach out and stay a while.

Get ready for yet another legal battle over Missouri's new congressional map...
AG Hanaway tweeted this out a few minutes ago. This flies in the face of recent precedent (the 2017 RTW referendum) and the Missouri Constitution.

Republicans have NO PLAN to fix skyrocketing premiums. Instead, they want to bring back high-risk pools when pre-existing conditions weren't protected, create more junk health plans that bury patients in debt, and find new ways to attack access to abortion.

Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans have one last opportunity to vote to save the ACA tax credits.
If they refuse, they are CHOOSING to let premiums more than double, and they would force millions of Americans to go uninsured.

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

Today the Senate will vote whether to lower health insurance costs for Americans, or let them double for millions. I urge my Republican colleagues to join us and address this crisis.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

Women who uphold the patriarchy and constantly demean feminism should not be online spouting their opinions on their own social media platforms.
You shouldn’t have an opinion or a platform. Let your husband do that for you…

Missouri’s fight over gerrymandering rages on. Very high stakes. If we don’t take this seriously, we’re handing power over to a few — not by the people, for the people. Oligarch voices will dominate unless we push back.

American poverty is not a uniquely Southern feature. It is everywhere and it is inexcusable. The hardship of the Great Depression was real--but all to often a distraction from the fact it existed previously and it exists now.

That this question is posed by corporate media is the answer. Bloated corporations beholden to multi-millionaire board members and shareholders keeps wealth at the top. There is no excuse for poverty anywhere on Earth.
