Proud of the civic engagement of so many students in the #EastBay – I received 300+ letters from Berkeley High & Redwood Day just in the last week!

Today on the 15th anniversary of the ongoing Iraq War join us in mourning and struggle to end the violence and to support reparations. Donate directly to the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq —> https://t.co/7baBJ1Ad1A

@DannySaltyani @derekmusial @qweenpush @mzjkbee @car_nove @GOP thousands of armed guards = thousands more gov't employees = typical socialist solution = you are just, like, brilliant

Mapping Police Militarization Project. Look at what your county received from the 1033 program between 2006-2013. #DropTheMIC https://t.co/Jz4kDo7Umo

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Getting people together -- that’s just about the opposite of what he’s done in these negotiations. That's why we're in this #TrumpShutdown.

@herdyshepherd1 Cute sheep + big ideas. I love it

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

As we remember MLK Jr.’s legacy this weekend, we cannot forget that he was a victim of warrantless spying by the US government. The US has a long track record of secretly monitoring civil rights activists & others who dared to stand up for their rights. https://t.co/0Yqtw9xSRa

@grahamelesh @TerrapinXroads @vgeorgemusic @LeboGuitar @ScottLawGuitar @ElliottPeck Have a great show, y'all. I love that record! At one point, I could sing every song.

@JohnnyGrubb I sense a cooking show in the works. #GrubbinwithGrub

@bluecollarskolr @bjt504 @currzlite @BernieSanders True that. BJ, don't expect us you 'ubderstand politics' and that you were a Sanders voter who now retweets every Trump-loving post you find. That's just silly.

[Erik Yates @butteryates]

@bjt504 @currzlite @BernieSanders What does that have to do with any of this?

[Erik Yates @butteryates]

@bjt504 @BernieSanders Correct, BJ. Very observant. It's the job of someone who's running for president to get to know activists and luminaries in their future constituency. What's wrong with that? I wish every candidate had taken the time to do so.

[Joy Damiani @trynottobeadick]

So proud of this guy! After two years in the works, Erik's finally officially releasing his new solo album, Give It Time. CD release show January 7th at @oskarblues, Lyons CO! Hope to see you there!

@VipassanaOrg This image definitely evokes the feeling of a challenging sit

@JohnnyGrubb Weird. White dude in the 80s w a five string.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Sooner or later, a reckoning is coming. And I will promise you this: When it does, the politicians who lead this Congress & voted for this tax heist will be held accountable for turning their backs on the American people.
