MAGA doesn’t spell FREEDOM. Not even close.

For 6 years I had the privilege of working with great colleagues to build an important racial justice advocacy platform at the @ACLU_Mass
If you are a visionary racial justice leader please consider this opportunity to take this work to the next level https://t.co/L6AOXlOAbH

Abortion is essential health care.

We won't stop fighting for our ability to get the care we need — no matter what happens in the courts.

[Tiny Buddha @tinybuddha]

Stick with people who pull the magic out of you, not the madness.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Billionaires have had a fantastic pandemic. In fact, billionaire wealth has risen more during Covid than it has in the last 14 years. That should tell you all you need to know about the state of wealth inequality today.

When I think of Juneteenth I think of the generations of Black folks who fought for a freedom they knew they might never see themselves, but who fought for it anyway. It's a reminder that we don't always try to build a better world so *we* can see it, but bc someday, someone will

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

Trump accused me of treason and said I should be investigated. And someone needed to “do something” about me.

Now I have learned they sought my data from Apple. It's shocking and yet, not at all surprising.

The damage he did will take years to repair. But that work has begun.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

Mitch McConnell says there is "no threat to the voting rights law."

Really? Look around:

The GOP is waging an unprecedented campaign of voter suppression in states around the nation.

All in service of dark money groups, their boss in Mar-a-Lago, and his Big Lie.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

Want to know why the Koch Network is so afraid of H.R. 1?

Because it returns democracy to the people, not dark money donors.

Democrat and Republicans overwhelmingly agree – dark money has no place in our politics.

So let’s end it. Let's pass H.R. 1.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

After losing an election, typically parties look inward. The GOP refuses to do so.

Rather than try to win over new voters, they've decided to suppress them.

Their descent into the party of anti-truth and autocracy continues.

And the threat to our democracy along with it.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

The Big Lie didn't end on January 6. It continues to metastasize.

And Republicans are using it as a weapon to pass voter disenfranchisement laws across the country.

We can't let it continue. The Senate needs to pass H.R. 1. Now.

We must restore the health of our democracy.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Separating families doesn’t secure the border. It only inflicts lifelong trauma on children and families.

That nearly 4,000 children were torn from their parents will be an enduring stain on America's legacy.

We must do all we can to reunite them.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

How is it ok that:

- 90% of the country;
- the majority of the Senate;
- the majority of the House;
- and the President of the United States

support comprehensive background checks...

...but the rules of our democracy don't allow it to pass?

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I’m thrilled to see you acknowledge this. Now, do you want to tell people why? It’s because they all have the same corporate donors. Half the Democrats in the Senate aren’t randomly super conservative. They don’t want things like $15 minimum wage to pass because of their donors.

[Climate Reality @ClimateReality]

Unfortunately, yet unsurprisingly, new national rankings show that the distribution of green spaces and parks is far from equitable. It’s time to change the system and fight environmental injustice. https://t.co/plrm5Uzk4d

Today would be a great day to end the filibuster and pass the For the People Act.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Senator Elizabeth Warren: Mr. Dimon, will you commit right now to refund the $1.5 billion in overdraft fees you took from consumers during the pandemic?

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon: No.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Abolish the filibuster.

Restaurant owners can’t find waitstaff?

Minimum wage in 1991: $2.13 an hour plus tips.

Minimum wage today: $2.13 an hour plus tips.
