Dr. Cornel West - @CornelWest:
“The American empire is the 68th empire of the world and all empires fall for the same reasons. Overreaching military, separating the working class from opportunity, oppressing the women.”
“Sooner or later the earth will rise again.”

Sorry to drag @rickygervais into this but his jokes at the Golden Globes were brutal. BRUTAL. No one slapped him because…well…he’s a comedian. @chrisrock didn’t deserve this and Will Smith ruined what should have been one of the best nights of his life.
Today, five Palestinian children were arrested by the Israeli military while picking flowers.
This is the reality and trauma Palestinian children face while living under Israel’s brutal apartheid.

The vile, @mtgreenee uses language, insulting people w/learning disabilities. Like so many Americans, I am part of a special needs family. There are millions of students with disabilities in America. It is appalling this “lady” is now on the committee that sets education policy.
Your daily reminder that the insulin I’ve used for 24 years, Humalog, has gone from $21 a vial to $275 a vial with no changes to the insulin or even the packaging. That’s a 1200% increase on a hormone every human requires to live, but my body can’t make. I die in 48 hours w/o it
When poor and low-income people in the South vote together for their shared interests, politicians who have clung to power by stoking fear and division have a much harder time winning.

I am sickened by what is occurring at the U.S. Capitol. It is nothing less than domestic terrorism, enacted in an effort to overturn a free and fair election.
The president has stoked this anti-democracy sentiment. He is responsible. He has always been responsible.
Whatever the outcome today, the possibility of a Sen. Raphael Warnock or Jon Osoff in 2021 reveals the need for a new "Southern Strategy."

Georgia voters—If you're in line before the polls close at 7 pm, stay there. You have the right to vote, no matter how long it takes. If you have questions, call the Georgia voter protection hotline at 1-888-730-5816. Let's bring this home.
MSNBC is reporting that voters at many Atlanta Metro polling places are in and out in 5 minutes today because so many Georgians voted early! So if you haven't voted, get out and vote by 7PM today. I'm counting on you. #gapol#gasen
Georgians: I know it’s tempting, but let’s not allow ourselves to be distracted today (or tomorrow or Tuesday). Let’s use our time and energy to find those friends and family who haven’t cast their ballots and urge them to do so on Tuesday. #gapol#gasen
Music-lovers all the world over are in mourning today. We lost #ArmandoManzanero to COVID complications. He’s one of the greatest song-writers in Latin American history. Beloved by many who danced to and fell in-love with his ballads. His music will live forever.
RIP, Maestro.💔
@DrPhillipsMD@cyn_Dar I wasn't sure who Dr. Phillips was, so I looked him up. This is just so typical of this year and they way people behave with Trump. https://t.co/XS0j1aA2CN
Last night Trump attacked Medicare for All as "socialized medicine." Funny. I didn't hear him complain when he received the best socialized medicine in the world for free at a 100% government run hospital. Yup. Trump loves socialism for himself, rugged individualism for the rest.
