A Palestinian American deserves to speak out at the #DNCConvention2024 about their pain and in favor of a #ceasefirenow. We shouldn’t shut out members of the Democratic coalition. @harrisonjaime @JulieR2022 @jomalleydillon

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own.

The exact opposite of Donald Trump.

Workers and community allies picketed at three different Luxor-owned facilities across St. Louis to demand the out of state owners return to the bargaining table in good faith. Read more here: https://t.co/C1sGXaIqTc

My statement on the presidential race.

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

I will not let Donald Trump try to rewrite history. He tried to tank our economy to benefit himself and his crony MAGA allies. Now President Biden is working to get it back on the side of middle-class families. #Debates2024

[Cynthia Nixon @CynthiaNixon]

Bowman is the last Congress person of color in a NY district not wholly in NYC.

And let’s be clear—the record $20 mill spent against him did not come from Dems in this Dem primary but from anti-abortion, anti-climate justice, anti-worker far-right Republicans. You do the math.

Progressive elected officials across Chicago stand in solidarity with students and their constitutional right to protest. University administrations should negotiate in good faith and refrain from police intervention. Statement below:

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Some of us have been out of school for a while and may have forgotten our American history.

Protesting injustice and expressing our opinions is part of our American tradition and what makes this, in fact, a free country. That’s what the Constitution is all about.

Politicians claim John Lewis and valorize his “Good Trouble”
The March across Edmund Pettus Bridge was the height of trespassing, and disorder. Even Dr King was reluctant to support it. After the violence of Bloody Sunday policy changed.
Every yr all now reenact the theater of it
