It shouldn’t have to be said, and it used to be assumed, that as a society we should encourage and not discourage people from voting. But our democracy is under attack today... houstonpublicmedia.org/artic…

The way we look at it, Alana, you’re so eager to believe him even when when he says things that have been disproven over and over and over. Fake news is bad whether from the right or from the left, but a president being a pathological liar is possibly even worse.

Oh, Alana. My father was an immigration lawyer. He lived his entire professional life dedicated to the constitution that we have watched this president shred. He particularly fought hard for immigrants and he would have nothing but contempt for this administration’s policies.

For the sake of $360 billion in an arms sale to Saudi Arabia, the United States is giving aerial support to SA’s genocidal war in Yemen that has starved to death tens of thousands of people. Trump vetoed a bipartisan effort to stop it.

Hey @realDonaldTrump, my father was stationed in the Philippines with Gen. MacArthur during WW2. He was so the opposite of a “sucker”or a “loser.” I’ve said often over the last three years that I’m glad he left us before you were elected. It totally would’ve broken his heart.

This is what happens in a fascist society. It’s way past “just a bit unfortunate.”
This is a very disturbing story. In Spokane, local police snatched a @DemSocialists chapter co-chair off the street, threw him in a van, detained him for over a day, then tried to get him to talk to federal agents. huffpost.com/entry/jeremy-lo…

Wendy Bell has been taken off the air “indefinitely.” She should be taken off the air, period. Using the public airwaves to incite violence should not be tolerated. Protesters are exercising their First Amendment rights whether she agrees with them or not.
Wendy Bell has been taken off the air at KDKA Radio. kdkaradio.radio.com/articles…

It’s important that we remember Iowa in this hour of their need. Truly an American “heartland” and so many of them are hurting. Read this thread...
🧵 I spent a couple days last week in Benton County, just west of Linn County, where people are still reeling from the #derecho.
If you thought Cedar Rapids was livid about lack of media coverage, let me tell you...I’m sorry I wasn’t there sooner.

“We were unprepared for this moment because we did nothing to avoid it. We have been so drunk on the pleasures of the material world, so sold on an amoral view of economics and social policy, and so worshipful of the false god of short-term profit.”newsweek.com/marianne-willia…

2/ Feeding the hungry isn’t just about those who are hungry; it’s about creating a sustainable world. Making peace isn’t just about ending war; it’s about creating a sustainable world. Lifting people up isn’t just about lifting the people; it’s about creating a sustainable world.

1/ We should see large groups of desperate people as a national security risk, whether in a corner of a US city or in another corner of the world. Collective despair is like a petri dish out of which inevitably grows personal, social and political dysfunction.

I don’t disparage Democrats. I’ve done a summit this year interviewing and endorsing numerous down ballot candidates - all Democrats. My criticism is of the party structure elite, which functions no differently than the Republicans. And I make it clear I’m voting for Biden.

Very important.
The results of our investigation are breathtaking and heartbreaking: 199,000 #Georgia citizens wrongly purged from voter rolls—using a system which tends to target younger voters and voters of color. #GeorgiaPurge #SaveMyVote2020 gregpalast.com/aclu-releases…
