I engage groups and individuals to recognize and leverage untapped potential

[Donhammed Trumpistan @TheRealDon85]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a country where people must prove their citizenship to masked strangers who refuse to identify themselves, and can be taken from work, school, or home because of how they look, is NOT a free country.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

So, after eighteen months of lying on the supermarket floor screaming at Denmark, Donald Trump has been handed the 1951 defence agreement, which already gave America bases and the run of Greenland for as long as NATO exists, and which it was using so enthusiastically that it closed sixteen of its seventeen installations there. The grown-ups have simply wrapped the toy he already owned in shiny new paper, told him it was the biggest present anyone has ever had, and he is now running round the garden showing it to everyone. He will certainly make the history books, although I fear not in the chapter he was hoping for.

I don't care how you were raised.

Unlearn your racism. Unlearn your misogyny. Unlearn your homophobia.

You're an adult now.

Having all of our military bases in the Middle East destroyed feels like it should be a bigger deal then Benghazi.

[Stella Parton @StellaParton]

Imagine a country where the citizens seem to think it’s normal for their President to tell them in front of the whole world to “cheat like hell” in the upcoming election and no one has said anything about it. Not Congress, SCOTUS, Governors, former Presidents, no one!

[Brett Chapman @brettachapman]

White Army soldiers back in 1864 rode up on 500 Cheyenne and Arapaho civilians who thought they were under US government protection due to a recent treaty. Instead, those troops murdered over 200 innocent people at the Sand Creek Massacre. This should be in every US history book!

[Larry Sabato @LarrySabato]

I grew up reading Asimov. Why can’t the AI masters just apply his 3 laws? Seriously!

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It is a broken Christianity that desperately looks for Jesus returning in the clouds but refuses to recognize him in the faces of the poor, the sick, the homeless, the immigrant, the bombed, the starving, the marginalized, and the oppressed.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Teaching that slavery, segregation, and racism happened isn’t teaching Americans to hate America. It’s teaching Americans what America overcame and what it still has to learn from. If a museum exhibit makes you hate America, maybe your issue is with the facts, not the museum.

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

Instead of "Do you believe in climate change?"
Let's try "Do you understand climate change?"
It's not a mythical character.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.

A new Yale analysis found Medicare for All would cover every American AND save more than $1 trillion a year, cutting national health care spending by 20%.

It would also mean better pay for doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers. The savings from cutting private insurance and Big Pharma profits as well as administrative waste would pay for increased Medicare reimbursement rates and  $52 billion in unpaid hospital care.

Medicare for All saves money and lives.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

Why is the U.S. giving Israel $3 billion a year for “infrastructure,” when remote locations on the Navajo Nation reservation lack basic running water and electricity?

[Dan Lococo @DanLococo]

Ironic that the CBO's primary audience is Congress. Is there anyone who could act on this info? Congress?

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

Medicare for All would save Americans $650 BILLION a year.

Interesting question:

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

If Republican policies are so great...why are Republican-led states the poorest, least educated, with the lowest-paying jobs, and have the most people on public assistance programs? And did I mention that Republican administrations oversaw 9 of the last 10 recessions?

[Peter Morley @morethanmySLE]

Daily Reminder: SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY!

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

If elections were as insecure as Republicans claim, they'd have court victories instead of talking points.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Christians to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires and empathy more than cruelty.
