[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

I was hungry, but you took free lunch out of schools.

I was thirsty, but you cut humanitarian aid funding for clean water.

I was a stranger, but you sent ICE agents into my church to arrest me.

I was sick, but you took away my healthcare coverage.

I was in prison, but you left me there because you profited off of it.

Whatever you did to the least of these, my siblings, you did to me.

(how I think Jesus would have phrased Matthew 25 if he was preaching in America today)

Republicans will tweet out their support for mass deportation right before they go set up their nativity scene that honors an unwed pregnant woman fleeing a country to ensure her unborn son is safe.

President Biden and Vice President Harris’s economic plan rescued us from one of the worst economic crises in American history and delivered the strongest economy in the world.

The gospel of capitalism and rugged individualism tells us to blame the poor for their poverty.

The gospel of Jesus calls us to understand the predatory nature of greed that exploits the poor, keeps them poor, and then calls us to flip those unjust tables of the money changers.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

A small number of billionaires own and control our economy. Increasingly, they own and control our government through a corrupt campaign finance system.

This is not democracy. This is oligarchy.

We must overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

Cheers to Edie Lycke of San Luis Obispo who writes, With limited time left in office, President Biden must pick up the phone and instruct the national archivist to enter the Equal Rights Amendment in our Constitution.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 trillion.

12 people. $2 trillion.

The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

After I was shot, I had to relearn how to talk one word at a time.

Today, I still struggle to speak but I have not lost my voice—and I’m using it to urge all Americans to vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz tomorrow.

[Bradley Whitford @bradleywhitford]

God, I love that guy.
