Governor Greg, Abbott of Texas is the quintessential racist cop, running the government of Texas like the arm of a white nationalist cult. He is spreading fear and destruction among many people who work hard and contribute greatly to their families and to our economy.
Once @GovAbbott signs Senate Bill 4, American citizens are going to have their citizenship challenged in Texas - and if you can't provide proof of your status on demand, you can be dragged down to the police station.
This is a racial profiling law. 1/

Let me guess: your family can afford good healthcare, you can afford to send your kids to college, you can afford to live on just one job, and you make more than $15 an hour.

One of the most shameful aspects of this is all the environmental groups who have endorsed Biden, allowing themselves to be so seduced by the false leverage of a White House phone call returned every once in a while that they themselves become unwitting tools. 3/3

Despite the green investments in the IRA, President Biden has given more oil drilling permits than even Trump did. It does little good to invest in green energy when you’re also granting all those drilling permits and approving the Willow Project. It’s time to ramp down, not ramp up, fossil fuel extraction. Not later. Now. 2/3

I will declare a Climate Emergency, and begin an immediate mass mobilization for a just transition from a dirty economy to a clean economy. By the way, this will create millions of jobs.

COP28 is around the corner & the UN just released a dire new report. If countries fully implement their plans to cut carbon emissions as currently promised under the Paris Agreement framework, the planet will still warm 2.9C. That's double Paris' target.

I was not “soundly rejected.” I ran out of money and dropped out before the votes began. Aa far as this being “a big fat ego trip,” please tell me how you think it’s ego inflating to wake up every morning to mountains of attacks and insults from people who know nothing about me and nothing about my work coming out of the mouths of such as you.

I see the pseudo-sophisticates on Twitter asking what I’m “possibly hoping to achieve…” by running for President. They’re big on the argument that I could never win.
Whether I win, I cannot control. But I know what I can control. I can control whether people have the option of a President who says this country belongs to a tiny percentage of us, with a political system that perpetuates a fundamental economic injustice. And that we have to change that. A President who offers an Economic Bill of Rights - from MedicareForAll to a guaranteed living wage. Plus a Department of Peace. And a Department of Children and Youth. And ending the War on Drugs.
That’s not just what I “hope” to achieve. Whether or not people choose that option is not under my control, but the option is offered. And I will be able to look at myself in the mirror because I know I offered it. #Marianne2024

Excuse me, Robert. I am a primary challenger as well. Harlan Crow has not contributed to my campaign. My high donors are not Trump supporters. I would appreciate it if you would not lump me into a group of people you think are electing Trump. I have always thought of you as someone who champions democracy. My campaign is the best shot at defeating Trump, not a way to reelect him.

He said he liked my policies - he just doesn’t like me! Meanwhile anonymous tweets and hit pieces were his journalistic source material. And everything he says he stands for is the stuff of my campaign…

This is making an already catastrophic situation catastrophically worse. There was never a military solution to this problem and there is no military solution to it now. Barbarism must not be met with barbarism. Support for Israel should never have meant - and should not now mean - unconditional support for the worst impulses of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Are you serious??? An American citizen doesn’t have to “comply.” This is not a police state and this was a TRAFFIC stop!
