March to Springfield

We want our communities to be great places to live. That's why we marched for a People and Planet First Budget in Illinois. #MarchToSpringfield #PPFbudget

We have got to end the bigotry and hatred that is sweeping this country.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Thank you Reno for turning out to support @RosenforNevada. Let's do everything we can these next 12 days in Nevada and nationwide to send her to the Senate!

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

If Trump wants to say he’s a nationalist, let’s be clear what nationalist policy looks like: cutting health care, attacking women & immigrants, suppressing votes. If these are the policies you want, Trump will tell you who to vote for. If not, then we’ve got to vote against them.

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

End the wars, tax the wealthy, and heal the sick. That is what a moral, rational government would do. It is why we must end the war in Yemen, repeal the GOP tax scam, and push for Medicare for all.

[Holly Figueroa O'Reilly @AynRandPaulRyan]

If the Democrats take the house and subpoena Trump's tax returns, Newt Gingrich says it will go to SCOTUS "and we'll see whether or not the Kavanaugh fight was worth it." (audience gasps).

What he's saying is that Kavanaugh was put on the court to defend the President. WTF, man.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Medicare saved @LizforIndiana's dad's life. Now she's running for Congress so we can make health care a right to ALL, not just the wealthy.

[National Nurses United @NationalNurses]

#VoteBeto on November 6th!

From supporting #MedicareForAll, to supporting NNU’s federal safe nurse staffing bill, the 150,000 RNs of NNU, including our 3,000 #Texas nurses, know @BetoORourke will provide the leadership we need in the U.S. Senate.

[Emily Cochrane @ESCochrane]

I asked President Trump what evidence he had that “hardened criminals” are trying to enter the country. “Oh please, please, don’t be a baby,” was his response.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Here’s what’s crazy: throwing 32 million Americans off health insurance and cutting Medicare by $500 billion.

That’s Trump’s plan.

We have a better idea: Improve Medicare for seniors by providing dental, vision and hearing aids – and expand it to guarantee health care for all.

[Fred @WaywardWinifred]

Floridians struggling to survive in the brutal aftermath of #HurricaneMichael must never forget that Donald Trump diverted 10 million dollars from @fema to fund the cost of detention beds and removal programs. https://t.co/MJu4oKaT1n

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We are in a pivotal moment in American history, and the election on November 6th will determine, to a very significant degree, the future direction of our country. If we can increase voter turnout from 36% to 50%, we can end one-party rule in Washington.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Expect @realDonaldTrump to pull out many of his old chestnuts in the coming weeks calculated to outrage and provoke his opponents, set cable afire and gin up his base. Immigration, kneeling, etc.
He is Pavlov. We are the dogs.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The rise of authoritarian nationalism is a challenge for all of us who support democratic values. Tomorrow at 11 AM I will deliver a speech at Johns Hopkins SAIS on the importance of "Building a Global Democratic Movement to Counter Authoritarianism."

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

President starts the day talking to cops about the need to bring Stop and Frisk to Chicago (a policy ruled unconstitutional) and ends it by praising the presumption of innoncence as pertains to Brett Kavanaugh.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It is not acceptable that the top 1% of the world’s population owns half the planet’s wealth, while the bottom 70% of the working age population accounts for just 2.7% of global wealth.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

At a time when 44 million Americans have $1.5 trillion in student debt, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has invested millions in companies that take advantage of kids trying to get a higher education.

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Anyone else feeling pummeled by the triple whammy of the IPCC climate report, Brazil's election results + the f-u of the Kavanaugh's appointment? It all feels connected somehow: greed cooking our planet, elites pitting us against each other, while wrapping themselves in impunity.

[Mac McKinsey @MacMcKinseyIV]

Chuck Grassley: Age 85
Orrin Hatch: Age 84
Richard Shelby: Age 84
Jim Inhofe: Age 83
Pat Roberts: Age 82
Lamar Alexander: Age 82
Mitch McConnell: Age 76

These dinosaurs should not be in a position where they can make decisions that will ripple for decades.

[Vera Miller @Veracity83]

Now you know this is a march of people who care about our planet: Some are picking up trash and recyclables so that we leave the warehouse district cleaner than we found it. 😍 #RiseForClimate #PeoplesClimateIL
