“Nothing about us, without us.”
IMPORTANT. Any policy/program of any kind must include the individuals/groups that those products seek to benefit from the very beginning before pencil touches paper. https://t.co/iYQYQr2iPS

HISTORY IN THE MAKING!! California legislature passes public banking!
With @GavinNewsom's signature on #AB857, for the first time in history, California's money can flow back into our communities, rather than increasing private shareholder profits. Everyone wins.
People are sick and tired of a rigged system where the top 1% gets massive tax breaks while 1 in 6 U.S. teachers work second jobs.
We are not going to take it any more.
We are going to raise teacher pay to $60,000 a year and invest in education nationwide.
I'm SO excited to support #unbought#unbossed Terra @lawsonremer for SD County Supervisor to #FlipThe3rd! Terra is the MOST EXCEPTIONAL leader I've ever met. We're building a movement to FINALLY implement true progressive policy.

"It's absurd." @FlyingWithSara dismantles the centrist attack on M4A as bad for unions in well under 30 seconds. Keep in mind this is a woman who is currently negotiating contracts with 10 major airlines. She knows of what she speaks. #rising FULL: https://t.co/uguVDjSS3r
I love when AOC criticizes the Democratic Party because there’s not anyone else who is doing it apart from Bernie Sanders.
People really don’t like Democrats. They just feel trapped to have to vote for them.
Speak that truth. 🗣
Get Community Organizers Luca and Dan rolling again!
My friend Dan and my stuff was stolen out of my car after the SF #CADEM Convention including my laptop and its only backup. If you can help us with a donation, it's much appreciated <3

Three drug companies control 90 percent of the insulin market, and year after year they raise the price of insulin at the same levels.
I will appoint an Attorney General who will enforce our antitrust laws, and executives caught engaging in price-fixing will go to jail.
The inventors of insulin sold the patent for just $1 so it would be available to all.
97 years later, Americans are dying because drugmakers like Eli Lilly charge $300 for a vial of insulin. Tomorrow I will be joining diabetics to buy insulin in Canada for one-tenth the price.
🇨🇦: insulin manufactured for around $6
🇺🇸: insulin manufactured for around $6
🇨🇦: insulin costs $32
🇺🇸: insulin costs $300
Americans are dying because of the enormous greed of the pharmaceutical industry. We have got to end their greed.
It's going to take all of us to fight the enormous power of the pharmaceutical industry and the health care industry.

The good news in getting Trump to explicitly vocalize his racism, instead of hiding it behind vague suggestions, is that his words can be used by courts as evidence of his motivation.
AKA his tweets may be used to dismantle his own immigration policies 😇

If you’re a Republican, please ask yourself if the party really represents your principles and values. You don’t need to become a Democrat. Simply stand up for what is right. America’s tradition of liberty is beautiful, and it depends on our love and respect for one another.
“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." -Toni Morrison
I am not going to let them distract. Today I am going to do the work the people of Minnesota sent me to do and vote to #RaiseTheWage to $15 an hour. 💪🏽
What kind of economy lets the top 0.00025% of the population own more wealth than the bottom 150 million?
A rigged economy.
That ends when we are in the White House.
What if maybe—just maybe—in the wealthiest country on Earth we provided year-round, free universal school meals to all our kids, instead of threatening to rip them away from their parents? https://t.co/wpJPcscG5J
Here's the deal. Bernie's #MedicareForAll plan eliminates private health insurance taxes - premiums, deductibles, & co-pays - saving middle class families $3,000 a year, 95% of Americans will see their income go up & no one is left out.
Proponents of Bidencare can't say the same
