Sort of reformed hippie still trying to make a better world for us all. Passionate about life and politics.

Since 2000, the wealth of billionaires has increased by 238%

Yes, 238%.

Three words: tax the rich.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Change is possible, even if it takes time. When I was younger, Asian men couldn’t legally marry white women.

Now look at me. I married a white dude.

Love you, Bradder.

[Joe Jaworski @JaworskiForTX]

I'm Joe, former mayor of Galveston and grandson of Leon Jaworski. I'm a Democrat running against TXAG Ken Paxton, who is currently indicted on felony securities fraud charges, being investigated by the FBI, & encouraged the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6. Please RT & follow.

@SenTedCruz If you had any self-respect you would RESIGN!

[Kendall Scudder @KendallScudder]

The confederate flag is flying inside the U.S. Capitol right now, being waved by armed militants. Tell me again about how the confederate flag isn’t a symbol of treason.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

From @SpeakerPelosi and me:

We are calling on President Trump to demand that all protestors leave the U.S. Capitol and Capitol Grounds immediately.

@aravosis @glmlewis When you participate in Anarchy you are an anarchist!

[Funky East Dallas Democrats (The FEDDs) @txfedds]

These are not protesters. These are violent invaders in the capital with guns. This is a COUP brought to you by the depravity and cravenness of the REPUBLICAN PARTY and TRUMP.

[Lee Holbert @LeeHolbert]

The worst part of this riot in DC is the obvious difference in how right-wing demonstrators are treated so differently.

@SenTedCruz This outrage is on you! Mobbing the Senate is NOT cool! Why is this mob not being controlled. Too White?

[Lee Holbert @LeeHolbert]

@Lancegooden You are an embarrassment to our state. Your unwillingness to certify a well run legal election is traitorous! #BidenHarris2020

@realDonaldTrump Hang this portrait of a real President in the White House now!

@jalen_is_me GOOD JOB ORGANIZING!

[Frank Giugliano @f_giugliano]

This grown a*s man just did this to a little girl who was posting flyers in support of George Floyd. This is sick. No grown man has the right to touch children, ever.

[Lynn @LynnInTheHouse1]

@GeorgeTakei The media is not reporting on the totality of all this police brutality. Who can put the hundreds of videos together to tell the story?

Another one with an elderly man with a cane:

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

This is horrifying. This poor young woman. Have the police gone mad?
