From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen.

July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

Lucky for us Hulk Hogan was a white dude and did not die from being denied food and water or bombed or sniped in the head while trapped in an extermination camp controlled by a genocidal state or we'd never have been told he was dead. #WesternPriorities

That’s because being barely intelligent is not a prerequisite for being a police officer and in fact, being a racist is what most cops are!

Mayors can’t get them to do shit about it because they’re all for it!!

Your record is exactly what makes your commentary about supporting the Iron dome so disappointing. Trying to weasel out of it and attacking valid criticism is only making it worse

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.
