If you're even THINKING such a thing, don't run for president. They come after you like you wouldn't believe.

Our political system spent 40 yrs creating a time when even before the pandemic 40% of us couldn't afford $400 unexpected expenditure, creating chronic anxiety & despair among millions of people; now worse.
What does that system call this problem? "A mental health crisis."

Many doctors & nurses work day and night, at tremendous personal sacrifice, to save people’s lives. Too many politicians work pretty intermittently, with no personal sacrifice & lots of vacations, to do things that actually harm people’s lives.
We really need to fix this.

THIS. Other nations have come out of the mechanistic dark ages and now officially recognize that - imagine! - human beings have an inner life.

It’s extraordinary how some people play loose with other people’s lives. It shouldn’t even be an option to withhold something that would mean the difference between poverty and non-poverty for so many.
Two key Democrats do not support the $15 minimum wage in President Biden's COVID bill, though they might be open to a smaller raise of around $11 an hour.

I have so much respect for @BAmazonUnion workers taking on Jeff Bezos. Tremendous admiration. It’s the spirit we need right now.

We don’t have a little racism problem in our law enforcement and criminal justice system; we have a huge racism problem in our law-enforcement and criminal justice system. We need to face it & deal with it. Hopefully Garland will make some serious changes. vice.com/en/article/n7vq5b/h…

We need this nomination to go through! She’s the perfect woman for the job - a rare combination of grace and grit. #YesOnDebHaaland
Jeff Sessions was so openly racist that even Reagan couldn’t appoint him.
Manchin voted to confirm him. Sessions then targeted immigrant children for wide-scale human rights abuses w/ family separation.
Yet the 1st Native woman to be Cabinet Sec is where Manchin finds unease?

And go further in some way - perhaps tax breaks to potential employers - to compensate for the injustice of their lost time.

I hope you will release from prison the many people in your state who landed there on marijuana-related charges.
