Faith isn’t a substitute for political activism; it’s the inspiration for it. It’s the “cosmic companionship” Martin Luther King Jr. said accompanies every solder of justice: “We will learn to live together as brothers or we will perish together as fools.”

You want hope, do you? Today her name is Cori Bush. Last night she proved what’s possible...apnews.com/36ae43993c0fe43e6…

You tell ‘em, Senator.
It's unbelievable to hear my Senate Republican colleagues, most of whom are millionaires, complain that unemployed workers getting UI are making too much money.
$600 a week is one of the only lifelines keeping millions from going into poverty or losing their homes. #SaveThe600

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." - Thomas Paine

There is a mean spirit that has infected our government, a soulless callous disregard for the suffering of humanity. They play with numbers and posture as though serious people, while spitting in the face of compassion itself. Their day will come & so will ours.#directcashrelief

Unregulated capitalism, absolutely. Capitalism completely untethered to any moral or ethical responsibility to people or planet, absolutely. But that’s not the only kind of capitalism

To me an enlightened society can have elements of both capitalism & socialism. I don’t think either are perfect nor are either inherently evil. The problem is not economic but moral. 1)Feed the children. 2) Take care of the earth. 3)Prioritize justice and democracy. 4)Wage peace.

My efforts and activism in the direction of real world solutions have been consistent over a 37-year career. I have never offered faith as a substitute for activism; I see faith as my inspiration for it.

No it’s not a legitimate question. It’s like asking someone when was the last time you beat your wife.

Prayers for Lebanon on this day of their agony. May angels both visible and invisible be with them in this painful hour, and the love of all the world bring comfort to their broken hearts. 🙏🏻

People are saying these things a couple of years late in my opinion, but at least they’re saying it...
Undermining public confidence in a vital American institution at exactly the time when confidence is most needed is an obvious strategy of a terrorist group or a foreign adversary.
It also appears to be the strategy of the president of the United States. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

What gets even more missed in the conversation is how many people making the decisions on a national level send their children to private schools, where they will have resources and ability to provide safety in ways we’re not providing for our public schools.

If only.
My bill with @kamalaharris and @berniesanders to give everyone $2,000/month until the end of this crisis (and 3 months after) is retroactive to March. Working families deserve this money. Let’s get that $12,000 into their pockets ASAP, and then keep the money flowing.
