Minnesota’s House Public Safety Committee just approved a bill extending liability of trespass beyond the individual responsible. Criminalizing protest, criminalizing organizing. Corporations > free speech. #Merica #Oligarchy

From the start, I called this “election integrity” commission what it really was – a sham. It was never about integrity. Thank you for speaking up with me! https://t.co/nQYGZFAsLD

The New York Times editorial board opened the New Year with a bang: a full-throated exhortation against the death penalty. The editorial hit all the right notes. Capital punishment is dying in America. https://t.co/zqxT3W0EXU

The heartbreaking reality is that Yemen’s humanitarian crisis is man-made. We cannot ignore Saudi Arabia’s role in these atrocities, which have helped bring Yemen to the brink of famine. Our government needs to do more to condemn these horrors before more innocent lives are lost. https://t.co/bwPfImlp3K

Selma, Lord, Selma. It’s no coincidence that Selma, where blood was shed in the struggle for voting rights for Black people, pushed #DougJones ahead for good. #Alabama

Alabama came through. White supremacy took another L tonight. Organize the south.

Travesty of Justice: #SCOTUS allows the entirety of #MuslimBan 3.0 to go into effect while appeals proceed. But we ain't done fighting! We will continue to say NO to this racist ban! Not now, not ever! #NoMuslimBanEver! #DeportRacism #HumanRights

Here's my take on how extreme sexual harassment affects immigrant women in low-wage jobs -- and why they can't always say #MeToo https://t.co/2ysngzQRnK

Researching about the divestment movement and how banks/financial institutions are funding climate change, the desecration of Indigenous land and sacred sites, environmental racism/genocide. We can change this. Watch: https://t.co/v0pAEH3SPy

Good morning.

I need to share a few things.

About a war.
Many don't know about.
That has killed a lot of people.
That we the U.S. are helping fight.
But Congress never voted on.

YEMEN. (And next week Congress will finally vote.)
