Not speaking up under a president like Trump is a sure way to guarantee a genuine fascist will be next.

Some aspects of HR1 & For the People Act desperately needed, but the part about bolstering the 2- party duopoly and making it harder for third-party presidential candidates is not OK. The 2-party system should not have a monopoly on presidential elections. peoplesparty.org/response-hr…

I really like @LarryLessig but the take here on “vanity” presidential candidates is bogus. Every day it’s more obvious how a dysfunctional status quo seeks to protect itself from disruption. It’s like “Be happy, kids! You can still have the cheap seats.”google.com/amp/s/www.washing…

She. Should. Have. Spoken. Up. They. All. Should. Have. Spoken. Up.
Dr. Deborah Birx said of her time in the WH: “I was marginalized everyday.” She also told me all the deaths over the first 100,000 could have been mitigated/prevented. That was a gut punch. #COVIDWAR

It's not about "more power." Those agencies exist and they should. It's about how their power is used. Their power should be to protect the people, not corporate profits. Read Michael Lewis' book THE FIFTH RISK.

Our FDA and other agencies have been “captured” by corporate interests whose overreach those agencies were set up to protect us from. #VoteProgressive

Jeff Bezos is pissed? Well, we’re pissed. And everyone can tell his PR campaign means nothing other than the fact that he’s getting nervous. Game on, babe. vox.com/recode/2021/3/28/223…

YES. Thank you, Congresswomen! @CoriBush and @RepKatiePorter
The 3 companies that control our insulin supply have raised their prices in tandem at least 13 times over the last 10 years.
As a nurse, I’ve seen patients ration insulin. I’ve seen them become amputees. I’ve seen them die.
I’m joining @RepKatiePorter in demanding answers.

My condolences, Adam. He must’ve been so proud of you. Everything you do in your life will carry the imprint of his spirit within you.
