After spending more than 800 days under house arrest,
@SDonziger was told to report to prison yesterday. For those of you who don't know the basics of his case, here’s one of our interviews that explains it. Please get involved. #FreeDonziger youtube.com/watch?v=fdU_vnQq…

Corporate Dems and Republicans hesitate asking a multi billionaire to give up even one of their several yachts or penthouses, but don't mind asking the poor to give up their very means of survival.

All that... and all they could come up with was twice what we spend on the military in 1 year, to be spent over 10 years. And it's not just Manchin and Sinema. The party has been promoting those kinds of corporate Democratic candidates while suppressing real progressive for years

Oh really? They have been targeting the poor and the middle class for decades.
Manchin talks to us on billionaires' tax: “I don’t like the connotation that we are targeting different people"
On Medicare expansion: "I have hard time increasing" benefits
On paid leave, Manchin said given the debt: “It doesn’t make sense to me. … I just can’t do it"

He would do today what he did then: he would say to the “economic royalists,” as he called them, “I welcome their hatred.” And then he would stick it to them hard on behalf of the people of the United States.

The oligarchs are having a great day today (Donziger jailed, Assange handled, the infrastructure bill decimated).
I so look forward to the blowback…

Are you under the impression that even one piece of legislation has been passed in response to BLM? Other than Juneteenth, of course!🤔

The political will is THERE, Congresswoman, but it is consistently suppressed by your party machinery. Nothing for you to figure out; it’s something for you to CALL out.

Good luck with that. There were only 122 million people living here then - a third of the US population today. It would be better if you would just say, "Yeah, we're mad as hell too." Roosevelt would have.

“This is what I like to call you: social poets. You are social poets, because you have the ability and the courage to create hope where there appears to be only waste and exclusion. Poetry means creativity, and you create hope.” - Pope Francis. Read this! vatican.va/content/francesco…

Using your own grandchildren to justify withholding help from children is pretty low.
“I can’t put this burden on my grandchildren. I’ve got 10 grandchildren. . . I just can’t do it” - @Sen_JoeManchin What burden - the dying planet you’re leaving to them? The life saving climate action you are deliberately blocking? You are actively throwing our futures away.
