@CNN Our worst trait as humans is we justify anything we want.
These guys who want guns every place will try their best to say why they can have them. Just look at the more civilized places in the world. That's what we would like to be.
.@AndrewYang's 3 principles for human-centered capitalism:
1. Humans are more important than money.
2. Markets exist to serve our common goals and values.
3. We should be using human-based metrics to determine success, not money-based ones. https://t.co/ismOShAUvA
In 2016 & ‘17, I paid thousands of dollars a year in taxes *as a bartender.*
Trump paid $750.
He contributed less to funding our communities than waitresses & undocumented immigrants.
Donald Trump has never cared for our country more than he cares for himself. A walking scam.
Hear our amazing staff attorney @AlissaBjerkhoel and CIP board member @DreamOutLoud619 argue this important case in front of the CA Supreme Court. #FreeKimLong#XONR8 @JusticeforCA12
From one federal prosecutor: "The president has nothing to say about a gun-toting madman who just murdered the son of a federal judge. But he takes time out of his press conference to send well wishes to a woman accused of trafficking teenager girls for sex..."
In the 2014 midterm elections only 37% of Americans voted. We now have a reactionary Congress in slavish support of wealthy campaign contributors, making devastating attacks against working families.
Democracy is not a spectator sport. Register to vote. Get involved.
If Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court it will have a profoundly negative effect on workers' rights, women's rights and voting rights for decades to come. We must do everything we can to stop this nomination.
If you are a young woman in America, pay attention to Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination. What’s at stake is a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her body and her future.
This will forever change your life. Pay attention.
