The American healthcare system is in a real national emergency:

🚨 66.5% of bankruptcies are due to medical costs

🚨 44% skip doctors visits due to cost

🚨 42% of cancer patients drain their entire life savings within two years

🚨 29% skip or ration medication due to cost.

Congresswoman @AOC uses her time to remind us that YES, Americans need to see Trump's tax returns. RT if you're with her in demanding to see them.

Amazon is a trillion dollar company, but they pay $0 in taxes. Bottom line: billionaires cost us money. Here's how. (And you can catch the full episode here: https://t.co/CSzRLNHBBW) #ILYAmerica

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Law only allows the use of a #NationalEmergency in two scenarios:
1. Declaration of war
2. Emergency requiring the use of armed forces

Not because you failed at negotiating & Mexico won't pay for your racist wall.

The American people will see you in court, @realDonaldTrump.

To end the horror of the occupation, American Jews need to do the honest self-reflection taught by our forebears, take pride in our tradition of justice, and join in solidarity and struggle with fellow Semites like @IlhanMN.

Some keep asking what can beat Trump? He lost by over 4 million votes. He got in b/c of voter suppression swinging 80k votes in a few states. How do you beat him? Fight voter suppression, turn out votes, don’t write off any states & fight him in the South.

Hard to end the AIDS epidemic when two pillars of your White House are homophobia and racism. Just saying.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Half the winter employees at Trump's Westchester golf course were present illegally in the United States. The Trump Organization seems to have violated US immigration laws on a serious scale - and it only began to clean up its act 2 years into Trump's presidency

The average NFL salary is $2.1 million, so most players would never experience a 70% rate.

The owners who refuse to hire Kaepernick would, though.

[Eugene Scott @Eugene_Scott]

The NFL needs to realize that for many black Americans, until they do right by Colin Kaepernick all of this black history and representation stuff at the #SuperBowl is in vain.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People are using GoFundMe to beg for insulin while this is happening in the same time and place. ⬇️

It’s no wonder logical, compassionate ideas are called “radical” when the present is dystopian.

We’re living in the upside-down, asking for the rightside-up.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

I'm thinking that the guy who was fined by the federal government for refusing to rent his shitty apartments to black people and who called for the death penalty for five innocent black teens can shut his hateful hypocritical mouth now and forever about who is or isn't a racist

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

That this career criminal, pathological liar, unrepentant racist, virulent misogynist, and casual anti-Semite is permitted to tweet smugly and self-righteously on any topic without universal outcry is a collective failure of American integrity and will that shames every one of us

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Repeat after me:

NO ONE WINS A NUCLEAR WAR

NO ONE WINS A NUCLEAR WAR

NO ONE WINS A NUCLEAR WAR

NO ONE WINS A NUCLEAR WAR

Also, a nuclear war would be very bad for border security, Trump hotels and Trump golf courses.

The South lost the Civil War. When will these Confederate-lovers learn to assimilate?

[BL @brianlilly]

@Sifill_LDF @SethAbramson That was my first thought

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

I've no problem with people calling for Northam to resign. I'm 100% fine with it. But if you're doing so and *haven't* publicly called for Trump to resign at least *30 times*, including after he called neo-Nazis "fine people" in *2017*, I have *strong* feelings about your values.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Considering who our president is and what he's done and how publicly he's done it and for how long he's done it, it's really something to watch Gov. Northam's political career go from fine to dead in 24 hours. Imagine if America could arouse this level of moral outrage for Trump.
