Michigan, it’s time to vote. Get those ballots in. Our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All will win.

I'm proud to endorse my friend, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, as our next U.S. Senator from the State of Michigan. Abdul isn’t a career politician. He’s a public health leader who spent his life trying to heal people before he ever asked for their vote.
He believes healthcare is a human right. He believes working people deserve the dignity of a living wage. He believes corporations shouldn’t be able to buy our Democracy. At a time when too many politicians are asking what is politically safe, Abdul is asking what is morally right.

My grandmother, Lois Elizabeth Wall, was a Suffragette who helped organize the women in my hometown to get the 19th Amendment passed. (This was the family my sisters and I were raised by. How lucky we were!) And tonight, the brilliant Tony Award-winning musical commemorating the brave women who fought for—and won!—the right to vote, SUFFS (short for "Suffragettes") premieres on PBS. Don't miss it! One of the best shows I've seen in recent years, INSPIRING — and just what the gender that makes 82 cents on the male dollar called for!

We need a people's media! Corporate media outlets have become mouthpieces for the ruling class. It's critical that we support independent journalists who are unafraid to disrupt the status quo so that we have access to truth.
Carl Deal and Tia Lessin's new film follows independent journalist and Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and her refusal to surrender to power. STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! is in theaters now. https://t.co/8awHb4Izr6
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."
This weekend, get out in the streets! ABOLISH ICE! For Renee Good and all the people terrorized and brutalized by ICE this year alone. Join a protest or vigil near you: https://t.co/ublPquXe0U
On January 7th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, ICE shot a mom of three in the face in broad daylight. 21st century fascism is here. Right in our faces. Unless we do something about it. https://t.co/pXYxzUvZg5
Last year, @seanonolennon won an Oscar for an anti-war short inspired by John & Yoko's music, about two soldiers playing chess on opposite sides of a battle. It’s a very moving film, and beautifully animated. Watch it on YouTube! https://t.co/Zb30MpymrV
There's one Christmas song that stands out as a plea for peace, as relevant this year during the genocide in Gaza as it was during the Vietnam War — Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. https://t.co/6AqJARt8WH
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the Nuremberg Trials. In 2018, I spent an afternoon with Ben Ferencz who, at the age of 99, was the last living prosecutor of the Nazis. Here’s what he had to say in “Fahrenheit 11/9” about the dark turn the world was taking.
