It’s disappointing that any Democratic candidate would reverse course and endorse the use of unlimited contributions from the wealthy to run against fellow Democrats.
A handful of wealthy donors should not be allowed to buy the Democratic nomination. That's not who we are.
Elizabeth Warren dropped a plan today on K-12 education and one of the things that stuck out to me the most was this, “Black and Latinx students are disproportionately likely to attend chronically under-resourced schools.”
Final takeaway from last night's #DemDebate:
Joe Biden will not get out the vote in 2020.
It will be either Bernie or Elizabeth.
Face it, they’re where the energy and enthusiasm is.
Everyone else on the stage last night is able but irrelevant.
End of story.
Happy Indigenous People’s day to the Six Nations, the Shinnecock Nation, and all other descendants of the Native Americans who have resided in New York since at least 9000 BC!
2020 is more important than ever. If we want to root out corruption and repair democracy, we need landslide wins all the way down the ballot from federal to local elections. With progressive candidates and a national grassroots mobilization, we can begin that fight! #teamwarren
25 states have put in place new voting restrictions since 2010, when state lawmakers nationwide started introducing hundreds of bills restricting access to the ballot. https://t.co/gAoxkJcyOf
The path to victory in 2020 isn’t trotting out stale, poll-tested, cookie-cutter sound bites. It’s shining a light on problems, laying out bold solutions, showing courage when courage is needed, having tolerance to take risks, and organizing, organizing, organizing.
“My name is Jacob and I’m a 9-year-old transgender American. What will you do to make sure kids like me are safe in schools?”
@HRC Foundation Parents for Transgender Equality Council member Mimi Lemay & her son Jacob ask @ewarren about protecting trans kids at #EqualityTownHall.
Elizabeth Warren doesn’t just have a plan to address the global climate crisis. She has a plan to fight the environmental racism affecting Black and Brown people everyday!
“But it’s not just about poverty, it’s also about race. A seminal study found that black families are more likely to live in neighborhoods with higher concentrations of air pollution than white families -- even when they have the same or more income”
I know the term “prison abolition” is breaking some people’s brains. The right is already freaking out.
Yet the US incarcerates more than anywhere in the world.
We have more than enough room to close many of our prisons and explore just alternatives to incarceration.

.@ewarren has a plan to ensure that federal judges and Supreme Court justices meet the highest ethical standards—and are held accountable when they fail to meet them. Read and share her full plan: https://t.co/FVQtLp12Gl
Voter suppression still runs rampant across the United States today. That’s why progressives must continue mobilizing and supporting both big campaigns like @ewarren for president AND voter enfranchisement efforts like @staceyabrams’s Fair Fight 2020!

It’s amazing to see what we can do with a progressive message and a focus on grassroots funding over a few people with deep pockets! Let’s make the next quarter even better than the last so that Elizabeth Warren can continue rising and fighting for the people!

Even as corporate profits have soared, working families are hanging on by their fingernails. I've got a plan for the most progressive and comprehensive agenda for workers since the New Deal. https://t.co/nzrNkHn1l9
Trump can say what he wants about me, but it's outrageous that any president would sell out the people of Hong Kong behind closed doors.
The public must see the transcript of Trump's call with Xi. And we need a leader who will stand up for our values.
