In my 37 year career I have never, ever, ever said anything like that...nor would I ever. Any disinformation here is on your end.

If we want a different kind of world then we’re going to have to work for it. We need to imagine it, articulate it, take a stand for it, and labor diligently to bring it forth. What we cannot afford to do is just assume someone else will handle it. peacealliance.org/issues-adv…

Wisconsin progressives, run someone incredible against Ron Johnson in 2022 so all of us can support you! google.com/amp/s/thehill.com…

.@SenRonJohnson is blocking stimulus checks because “he’s worried about the deficit.” What a myth that is; just political cover for greed & heartlessness. The deficit we should worry about is our deficit of compassion for those who through no fault of their own now need our help.

So wrong. So deeply wrong.
Sen. Ron Johnson objected to my bill to provide $1,200 to working families and $500 for kids because he's "worried" about the deficit. Funny. He wasn't so worried about the deficit when he voted to give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1% and large corporations. What hypocrisy!

2/ Perhaps the “opioid rich” Sackler family could start - given how “sorry” they are and all? Then maybe “no federal taxes” Jeff Bezos would like to say a few words? It’s amazing in America today how easily we neglect the powerless and protect the powerful.

1/ There are 614 U.S. billionaires- 400 richest together have near $3.4 *trillion*. Yet we haven’t heard one multi-billionaire yet say “I’ll throw in $1 billion for a stimulus fund if some of my friends will also give $1 billion to compensate for the greed & mendacity of Congress

MSM is like a strange drug that keeps us more upset than we need to be about some things, but not as upset as we should be about other things. It curates the news in such a way to keep people always on edge about what’s happening but never empowered enough to do anything about it

My concern is that people will be so relieved to see Biden become president they’ll be tempted to forget how much pain is still out there and just be excited that everything is “back to normal.” A permanent underclass will have then become a permanent class of invisible sufferers

Millions are hungry, being evicted from their homes & losing their healthcare. This is not a moment to celebrate “normalcy” because there’s nothing normal about this moment for them. If anything, normalizing the despair of tens of millions of people is the worst thing we can do.

The fact the fire dept will come to my house if there’s a fire doesn’t mean I’m “dependent on govt.” Giving all of our money away in tax cuts & subsidies to huge corporations in the name of “not wanting to be dependent on govt” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of.

Absolutely I would. They certainly wouldn’t get better by our voting Trump in for a second term.

Travesty of justice. The Sackler family paid $225 million in civil suit fines, roughly 2% of their family wealth. Their denials and apologies are unbelievable...literally. nytimes.com/2020/12/17/healt…
