RT @shaunking: More women have donated to the @BernieSanders campaign than any other campaign. But @Maddow, looking only at donations from women above the $200 threshold, which are less than 2% of Bernie's donors, said the lack of women above that threshold means Bernie has a problem w/ women https://t.co/tSYSSWU6l2
RT @mehdirhasan: "If this were ISIS or MS-13, we'd be having a very different conversation..we'd be talking about drone strikes..more deportations, more money for ICE..but it's white nationalists so all you got from Trump is 'thoughts and prayers'..no anger or outrage" - me on @MSNBC last night: https://t.co/vwPnewEzNg

RT @bethyoncee: Finally started listening to @TheBreakdown with @shaunking and I’m so glad I did because WOW Learning about @AdyBarkan and how he’s literally dedicating his entire life to fighting for Medicare For All is beyond inspiring. We really have no excuse to not be doing more https://t.co/azMrGu8kA4
RT @ScottHech: Absolute vile, unconstitutional insanity. Prosecutors realize change is coming to end mass criminalization. So theyre requiring anyone pleading guilty TODAY to waive rights to benefit from smarter, fairer laws TOMORROW. Want to lock in as much pain as possible before they can’t. https://t.co/TMDp5nzWMC
RT @ava: There aren’t many of us out here doing this. It’s a small tribe in the grand scheme of things. He was a giant among us. Kind. Committed. And immensely talented. His films broke ground.

RT @AdyBarkan: It was so special to see you today, @ewarren. I told her that she is showing people what a racial and economic justice agenda looks like; shaping public discourse. She said, "well, we do it together." Indeed. I'll be thinking of her words tomorrow. #MedicareforAll #BeAHero https://t.co/Qdp0f6Lwp4
RT @AdyBarkan: A whirlwind day. A rally, tons of news interviews, a preview of the hearing room, and then meetings with @BernieSanders @ewarren and @SpeakerPelosi. None of it would be possible without these two heroes, Mario Diaz & @KarlBarth420. Just phenomenal care, 24 hours a day. https://t.co/6QIx1YQOez
RT @KristenClarkeJD: Shane Piche, white, admitted to raping a 14 yr old girl.

Much of the time was spent in solitary confinement. https://t.co/x6cDI01HJr

RT @theappeal: Women in prison are forced to use cotton balls & rags as substitutes for tampons & pads.

RT @AdyBarkan: I got to sit down with my friend @BernieSanders. I got to thank him for his sacrifice and his leadership in our movement. He reminded me of the long struggle we are in. He reminded me that we will win. Tonight, I feel hopeful. Tomorrow, I testify. #MedicareForAll #BeAHero https://t.co/th1QgpWJQy

RT @shaunking: John Singleton was brilliant. His movies populated my childhood. He changed the game and told stories that showed 360 degrees of Black life...the beauty and the pain, the success and the struggle. And marched to the best of his own drummer for 25+ years in film. https://t.co/8E5bu9ucTW
RT @theappeal: In contrast to stop & frisk, which targeted large numbers of New Yorkers, the type of precision policing employed in gang raids, like the Bronx 120 raid, demonstrates that harmful policing practices in NYC have not been eradicated, they have just evolved. https://t.co/Z4vqttYpy2 https://t.co/j8i6udwp4n
RT @shaunking: "It's called gentrification." Boyz N The Hood was full of brilliant scenes, but this one, with a father teaching his son and his best friend about gentrification, right out on the street corner, stands out. Nothing like this before or since. Furious Styles, was special. https://t.co/xy2StVjm47

Crushed to learn that John Singleton has just passed away. His films were the movies of my youth. He blazed new trails for Black filmmakers and introduced the world to so many actors and actresses that are now household names - giving them complex and dignified roles. A loss. https://t.co/X0NEvEQeHO
RT @Smith_JeffreyT: #Uganda lawmaker Bobi Wine (@HEBobiwine) has been arrested. Again. This time while on his way to police HQ at the request of the police themselves. They were apparently upset that crowds of his supporters had grown too large. Another own goal by a truly inept, insecure regime. https://t.co/6FXnbrgYvn
RT @QasimRashid: This is Lori Gilbert-Kaye. She threw herself in the path of the terrorist’s bullets to save the life of her Rabbi. She died as a martyr in Synagogue, while practicing her faith as a Jewish woman. Inna lillahai wa inna illahi rajaeoon From G-d we are and to G-d must we return https://t.co/Go56smcIdG
RT @ggreenwald: The idea that a black Somali-American Muslim immigrant was the inspiration for a psychopathic 8-chan white nationalist to attack a synagogue is stunningly stupid & grotesque. Then again, so is the fact that you get treated as an important political analyst by having a famous dad: https://t.co/MoDteXN16o
RT @RashidaTlaib: They'll probably put them on tethers & blame it on the lack of mental health funding (which is real!). However, homegrown terrorism w/n white nationalist groups is growing as this Administration continues to ignore it. Each candidate must deliver a clear plan to address it. https://t.co/Yb69H7WUYu
RT @AdyBarkan: Safe and sound in our hotel in DC after a long flight. Headed to bed to rest up for a big 2 days ahead of us.

RT @WaywardWinifred: @ryangrim A member of Swedish Parliament showed up to the party that I attended in NYC.

RT @CabanForQueens: I was recently a guest on @kthalps’s show.

RT @maxberger: Trump’s inspiring white nationalists to shoot up synagogues by repeating antisemitic conspiracy theories. The Pittsburgh and San Diego shooters both believed that Jews were trying to destroy the white race with immigration. Trump repeated that lie. These murder are on him. https://t.co/VwQdo55rUA
RT @RepLucyMcBath: Heartbroken to learn of another violent anti-Semitic attack — this time, at a Synagogue in Poway, California, on the last day of Passover. Another community devastated by an act of gun violence at their place of worship. This hate-fueled violence has no place in our society. https://t.co/ji345QWLlL
RT @staceyabrams: On this, the last day of Passover, my heart grieves for Poway and the Jewish community. We must stamp out anti-semitism, bigotry and hate—wherever it is found, however it takes form. We must find common-sense solutions to end gun violence & ensure our right to safe communities. https://t.co/WKDTSuenPj

RT @hbryant42: It isn’t just silence. It’s the willful allowance of white nationalist, anti-black politics against the punishment and network silencing of black advocacy.

RT @DrJasonJohnson: I will say this again for anyone who isn't listening : If Nick Bosa was black and tweeting & liking homophobic posts on social media his draft stock would stumble to the 2nd or 3rd round at least.

@QJames @Bakari_Sellers @JoeBiden Thanks Q. Here's my operating philosophy. And it runs deep. I struggle to believe the presidential platforms of candidates if they don't match up with their actual history. I put a much larger weight on their demonstrated history than their website & campaign speeches.
