Remember, the super rich said we couldn’t afford to end slavery, offer Social Security, end Jim Crow or guarantee women’s rights. But truth was always that we couldn’t afford not to.

I’m so tired of Mark Meadows & others who have lied, divided, maligned & bamboozled coming out to media & doing everything but repenting. They’ve all forfeited any right to sit in any of these offices. It’s the height of social & moral irresponsibility.

Why are Democrats talking about compromise & moving to the center with Mitch McConnell, who has never compromised with them? The only center Dems should move to is the moral center of policies that establish justice.

Pull down the racist statutes, not just the Confederate statues.

Sadly, we are witnessing not so much the meaness of Trump as the hypocrisy of the Republican Congress. Imagine Obama calling any woman a dog. Do you think he would get a black privilege pass like Trump Is getting a white privilege pass?

Sens Corker, Rubio & others have said Trump is unstable, yet they are willing to side w/ him on a tax bill that will hurt poor ppl, undermine healthcare, & raise taxes on working people. Trump alone is not the problem; it's the greed & immorality of Congress.

In my regular testing routine, I have tested positive for COVID-19. My symptoms so far are very mild, and I am following CDC guidelines to notify close contacts and isolate for five days.

For Tim Scott to do everything he could not to say we are dealing with systemic racism is ... well, I can’t find a decent word to describe it.

What is wrong with so-called moderate Democrats? Don’t press Pelosi. Press McConnell. He is the block. We don’t just need a bill; we need a just bill. Stop letting Republicans put you in a box. Stand w/ your leader & fight for what’s right.

I wish white reporters would stop asking if Trump or anyone else ever used the n word. The word is vile, but it’s not the depth of racism. Black people never had a march to protest someone using the n word; we’ve marched vs denying voting rights, police violence, & segregation...

When commentators say Obama won by charisma and not a plan, that’s a faulty revisionist history. The country was in a mess & he brought a plan, a vision & moral convictions combined w/ an organizer’s mentality to mobilize & fight In every state, even the South.

The next immediate bill after COVID relief must be restoration of the Voting Rights Act in order to protect democracy from Republicans who are right now trying to pass 165 voter suppression bills across the country.
