We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

When Donald Trump calls a female reporter Piggy and another Stupid he is not only revealing his disrespect for women, he is making a statement about his supporters -- trusting that they will welcome and embrace his misogyny.

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

This Thanksgiving, ICE fascists are arresting people in San Diego At Their Green Card Interviews!
These immigrants followed the law & did everything right—ICE is arresting them anyway.
It was never about law & order. It was always about fascism & white supremacy. Abolish ICE. Protect our Republic.

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Sen Mark Kelly isn’t a far left radical. I wouldn’t even label him progressive. From his record, he’s fairly moderate.
Not the easiest target in politics. We all need to stand up for him or we’re gonna fail this regime’s test.

It's nearly Thanksgiving and everyone should remember that Trump fought all the way to the Supreme Court to deny families SNAP benefits this month.
All of this after Trump & Republicans passed the largest cuts to SNAP in HISTORY this summer.
It's fundamentally immoral.

Universal health care is the solution to the rapacious greed of pharmaceutical companies, insurers and for profit hospital systems.
Big Pharma has sent over 500 lobbyists to D.C. with one goal: protect their profits, even at the expense of patients and taxpayers.
They are actively trying to undermine Medicare drug price negotiations.
Costs will keep going up because of their unbridled corporate greed.

If the United States starts a war with Venezuela without Congressional approval and Congress does immediately begin impeachment hearings, they will be complicit in a war crime.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Diversity, equity, and inclusion doesn’t mean people getting jobs because of their skin color, that’s what the absence of DEI does.
At one point, most professional sports leagues were white-only.

These are hate symbols. They have been used to represent the genocide of Jews and the lynching of Black people. Displaying them signals to white supremacists that violence is acceptable and that they will be protected if they commit it!
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Threats against lawmakers are not speech; they are coercion designed to freeze the functioning of government. If Congress can’t advise the military without fear of execution, then checks and balances are dead. The House and Senate must formally censure this attack. Call your representative now.

The Republican Congress has repeatedly failed to confront the illegal and immoral actions of this administration. Their failure is historic. When will they honor their oath of office and meet their constitutional responsibility to be a check on the President and Executive Branch?
This is unacceptable from anyone, especially the President of the United States.
But we know from January 6 that he's fine with political violence.
The question is whether Congressional Republicans are okay with this rhetoric.
