Yes! Please amplify! We need more of our elected officials to speak out about this. Thank you so much @SenMarkey @SenWhitehouse @RepMcGovern
Steven Donziger took on Chevron and was convicted on criminal contempt charges. @SenWhitehouse and I have serious questions about the use of private prosecutors in federal court and the administration of justice.

If we want a “healthy ruling class?” There is no such thing as a healthy ruling class!!!!
Replying to @justinbaragona
JD Vance says that the country is run by "childless cat ladies" who don't have a "direct stake in it," specifically naming Pete Buttigieg and AOC. "If we want a healthy ruling class, we should support more people who actually have kids."

You would think.
What was the point of busting our as*es getting Democrats elected if they can’t do a simple thing like protect voting rights? Biden should call for the Senate to delay its August 6th recess until enough votes can be mustered for the For the People Act.

They were called “socialist” by people at the time, Congresswoman!🤦🏻‍♀️
Today’s Anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid reminds us to reflect on the critical role these programs have played to protect the healthcare of millions of families. To safeguard our future, we must reject Socialist healthcare schemes.

Because otherwise you’re a nihilistic cynic, and cynicism is just an excuse for not helping. Also, she is not them.

They are corporatists, to be sure. On the other hand the complacency & distractededness of many people - including a lot who are complaining now - allowed for the election of Presidents who appointed them. It’s not just an economic system at fault, it’s a multi dimensional issue

No, that was not a feature of capitalism. It was a feature of conservatives on the Supreme Court who said money is free speech and then handed down the Citizens United decision.

Violent imagery is not helpful. The only revolution that will achieve a sustainable future is a non-violent one, and that means in our language and even in our thinking to the best of our ability.

Unfettered unregulated capitalism absolutely is the problem. Capitalism has been weaponized against masses of people. Of course I say that. I’m just not someone who thinks the simplistic cry “End capitalism!” is the answer.

Of course! And there’s nothing that I said there which is “religious.” Ethics and values are universal concepts.

Run for office yourself, giving particular focus to local and state races, or get deeply involved in supporting progressives running in next year’s midterms. candidatesummit.com

As long as market principles as opposed to humanitarian principles are the ordering principle of our society, we will continue marching in the direction of our collective self-destruction.

The homelessness problem is not being solved, it’s being compounded. Millions of people face eviction in 2 days unless they extend the eviction moratorium and most of them will have nowhere else to go but to live on the streets. #ExtendtheMoratorium
