Israeli forces killed a U.S. peace activist in the occupied West Bank.

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was killed by a “deliberate shot to the head,” witnesses say.

She worked with the same peace activist movement as Rachel Corrie, a U.S. citizen killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003.

@HeatherHood27 I’m sorry that I missed it.

Please take care of each other.

People say, “Bernie, you’re repetitious, you always say the same things."

Well, here’s a promise: when all of our people have health care, when we are leading the world in the fight against climate change, when the poor are no longer struggling, I will change what I’m saying.

The thing is, this argument works on Liberals. And they'll spend endless hours arguing the subtle differences between Obama's and Trump's policies, rather than just acknowledging that both are fucking wrong.

and maybe, just thinking out loud here, that's the whole problem.

[eh @swampcommie]

"we were slightly less racist monsters" is not a tenable argument.

You’re 100% complicit in these smears, @SpeakerPelosi.

Shame on you.

[Johnny at Home @TweetingJohnny]

@MishkaForbes @SpeakerPelosi @realDonaldTrump It feels like abuse, doesn't it? Creating this image of protection while simultaneously throwing those members of Congress under the bus. She really does need to resign. Something tells me she's beyond changing her tactics.

What crashed in 2008 was global capitalism, not socialism. What took 10 yrs of lost jobs, homes, savings to “recover” was capitalism, not socialism. The systemic inequality that helped cause the 2008 crash and got worse across the last decade belongs to capitalism, not socialism.

THIS is what racism looks like. WE are what democracy looks like. And we’re not going anywhere. Except back to DC to fight for the families you marginalize and vilify everyday.

I found these federal documents that prove Trump and his dad practiced housing discrimination for years. They would separate white applications for housing from any person of color who applied. And when caught, did nothing to make it right. #RacistInChief https://t.co/99MREMlgUg

Nancy Pelosi is being cheered on by #NeverTrump conservatives. This should not be a reassuring development for Democrats.

@HerreraBeutler @PattyMurray @SenatorCantwell Not one other thing should be done, until these people are released. Both the senate and the house should make this the priority. Take action.

Lights are kept on all night, depriving people of humane sleep conditions.

The cruelty is the point.

Finish the quote. I then went on to say, "I am focused on the Work, as I've had 18 shootings in my District since July 3rd. I'm focused on the racial wealth gap & health disparities in #MA7, this is why I ran & what my District sent me to do."

Sanders appeals to lower-income and less-educated people; younger people who vote less frequently are more often in Sanders’ camp; seniors who follow politics closely generally prefer Warren.

Sanders also has won over more African Americans than Warren... https://t.co/oVGCsC9WIv
