Some people don’t get to “be done” with the pandemic…
🚨I wrote about immunocompromised people—what they’ve been through, their frustrations, and their hopes.
This is a plea to think about those who don’t get to be done with the pandemic, and to prioritize them as a matter of moral and medical urgency. 1/

Call ‘em out, @SecDebHaaland! “An empowered Interior Department, aligned with the White House, could make massive strides on climate change.” Yet she is not empowered and here’s why…prospect.org/api/content/4f2…

Thank you. But in some cases the corporate lapdogs are being opposed within their own party, and I think that’s a necessity too.

I don’t know if I’m running at all. When I ran for Congress I ran as an Independent, so I’m aware of the institutional challenges that exist there. Every district, every state and every race present a different set of circumstances.

The fact that others have failed at something is not a reason for you not to try to succeed.

During the 1970s the average American worker had decent benefits, could own a home, own a car, take a yearly vacation and send their kids to college. Stakeholder (not stockholder) capitalism lasts as long as policies promote it.

Exactly. SeizeTheHouse has nothing to do with supporting a political party; it has to do with supporting candidates such as yourself who are as aware of the problems as anyone else but who are doing what you can to help solve them.
I can respect someone without respecting their choice. It takes no money or particular amount of time to vote. People have died for the right. So no, I don't have to respect someone choosing to throw their vote over to Mitch McConnell and thinking it's some statement or strategy

Same thing happened in my house. When I was in the seventh grade I came home and told my parents we had to fight in Vietnam or we would be fighting on the shores of Hawaii. My father got so apoplectic he took me to Vietnam to show me what war was.

An important article. We'll spend $634 billion on new nuclear bombs over this decade, but were told that $205 billion for 4 weeks of parental leave nationally was too expensive. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

Ha! Most freshman in college would do better at running this country than the pseudo-sophisticates who run it now. They’re closer to the ground and know what people need.
