- Black man with no gun ends up dead. White protestors go into state houses with long guns & AK-47s & aren’t even arrested.
- Some are calling for Juneteenth to be a national holiday. How about we go further & pass healthcare & living wages for all, a fully restored Voting Rights Act & reparations, etc. Please don’t just ask for a holiday. Let’s make it a holy day of repentance & reconstruction.
- This virus is teaching us that from now on, living wages, guaranteed health care for all, unemployment & labor rights are not far left issues, but issues of right vs wrong & life vs death.
- Republicans are now asking what they should do with Trump. Here’s an idea: what would you have done if it were Obama? Do that.
- I’m so tired of people saying Republicans are acting out of fear of Trump. That is such a “white privilege” statement. THEY AGREE WITH TRUMP. THEY WERE EXTREME BEFORE TRUMP. READ HISTORY.
- Mark my word: more things are going to come out that will prove just how guilty Trump & his enablers are. It will turn the public against them. How do we know? Read history. He looks like he’s getting away, but pride & arrogance come before a fall. Always have, always will.
- How do you mourn the loss of a great champion for justice like Ruth Bader Ginsburg? You mourn deeply & you vow to continue her work with even greater resolve. Her death must bring us to life.
- Please don’t just blame Trump for where we are now. Name all those who have lied for him, upheld him, covered for him, put false religion around him, & enabled him. If we end up in war, there must not be selective amnesia. Anyone who didn’t speak up bears the blame.
- I’m in Alabama today to help expose the false moral narrative of political leaders who claim to be pro-life while denying people the healthcare, living wages, common sense gun laws & environmental protections we need to sustain life.
- Republicans are not against vote-by-mail. They are against black, brown & poor people who will not vote for them getting access to vote-by-mail.
- If Woodward’s on-tape revelations don’t persuade the nation to turn its political back on Trump, McConnell & those who have enabled them, Lord help this nation. It will reveal more about who we are than who Trump is.
- Senator Susan Collins says she is appalled by Trump castigating Dr. Ford for her claim against Kavanaugh. Here’s the problem: too many are appalled by Trump’s tweets but accept & support his policies.
- I don’t know why some folks are so shocked that NC, SC & MS are winnable. If Dems organize, run & fight for a progressive agenda, esp. among poor & low wealth ppl, they can win across the South.
