    To ignore the Navajo Nation is a denial of humanity and an acceptance of genocide. They deserve better.

    .@BernieSanders won the #IowaCaucus by 6,000 votes more than @PeteButtigieg ; 10,000 more than @ewarren & 17,000 more than @JoeBiden; and did not get the most delegates. Go figure.

    We look to our youth for energy, expansion and inclusion which leads to growth. The youth that come to these rallies represent hope, healing and promise for our nation. It’s a joy to “feel the Bern” with Bernie. Keep Hope Alive! #VotingMatters @BernieSanders

    #BothamJean killed in his house in Dallas. #AtatianaJefferson killed in her house in Fort Worth. A house should be a sanctuary from terror. Legal Lynching must be punished. First degree murder must be punished.

    A new generation of leaders is rising that just may be ready to take on the fight for the moral center. They will only succeed with a popular movement

    May God grant @SenJohnMcCain comfort and spiritual peace. He showed us how to live and he showed us how to suffer with dignity.

    In the darkest hours of the struggle to free South Africa, with Nelson Mandela in prison, the face of hope and courage was #Winnie Mandela. May she forever rest in #Power.

    It’s a mistake to physically go to church this Sunday without medical preparation. To do so is an act of defiance not worship. Do justice and walk humbly with God. Beware of those who pray loud on corners to be seen. Pray in your private closet and don’t jeopardize your neighbor.
