RT @swalker06: I’m blessed to work with some of my best friends in support of a movement candidate working to bring into fruition some of the most important policy goals of my lifetime. I wish this feeling on all of my friends in this fight for a world. #Bernie2020 #iacaucus #tbt https://t.co/EvHeFFutjg
RT @BernieSanders: Congratulations to the teachers and support staff of @CTULocal1 on reaching an agreement with the city. Unions are on the front lines of the struggle for justice in education, and I stand with them in this important fight for what Chicago's students and families deserve. https://t.co/oRul7L5NRe
RT @CoreyinNYC: I agree with Gale and Keith - let’s pedestrianize Rock Center. It will be immensely popular like the other expansions of public space across the city have been and it’s the right thing to do from a safety perspective. 20,000 people are walking there per hour at peak times. https://t.co/8vdXw1PGNI
RT @SFRisingAction: 5 cops, 27 shots fired, 20 gunshot wounds, police killed #MarioWoods. Gwen lost her son & the DA chose NOT to file charges. Gwen endorses #Boudin4DA bc @ChesaBoudin will b an independent DA who's willing 2 enforce the law equally. @DrIbram @rosaclemente https://t.co/W2CC9GaQK8 https://t.co/XFYR5SQxLM
RT @briebriejoy: Remember the scene in Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon's character finally realized that the tragedies of his life weren't his fault? I think that feeling is at the root of the passion behind this movement. Hear more on #HearTheBern #Bernie2020 https://t.co/4945XhbBPE https://t.co/Rf2sA70Zjf
RT @bradhoylman: New York City is maintaining a rogue DNA database with the private genetic info of over 82K NYers, at least 31,400 of whom may never have even been charged with a crime. @assemblytwright and I have a bill to ban it. Honored to rally with the #Exonerated5 to get this done. https://t.co/kePE3FgnQL
During a DA candidate forum tonight, protests erupted when Suzy Loftus got on stage. The protests were on behalf all the men & women shot by police with complete impunity. Under her watch. She actually gave medals of honor to officers who were under investigation for shootings. https://t.co/ykwjE3i4CS

RT @Romanoff2020: #AskMeAnything at our virtual town hall, 7 MT tonight. A few questions have already been taken—like the one we were asked at a #cosen forum: “Has Trump committed an impeachable offense?” I said yes (he’s already admitted as much) but not every candidate was quite as enthusiastic. https://t.co/x2BLJAbN5v
RT @Romanoff2020: Great—let’s have this debate. If CO’s junior senator wants to sacrifice our health & capsize our economy by surrendering clean-energy jobs to other countries & refusing to help oil & gas workers make a transition they can already see coming, we’ll fight him every step of the way. https://t.co/wKWxdEHofO
RT @MMFlint: Appearing before a cheering audience of liberal Jewish Democrats, Bernie Sanders says what no candidate has ever said — and is cheered some more. What if we had a president with both courage AND love? And never afraid to speak the truth? Why not now. Especially now. Yes — NOW! https://t.co/HCHRu8U4A9

RT @dcpoll: @dannyhakim NEW: Lt. Col.

RT @MeritLaw: Folks so committed to the plantation mentality the concept of black teens/young adults not being exploited is triggering. As long as you’re taxing education consider legislation to provide healthcare to these athletes whose bodies will never recover from their college experience. https://t.co/Dr0F26KHZ8
RT @ava: A black nineteen year old made this. Wrote it. Shot it. Edited it. Directed it. Submitted to @Tribeca. Got in. Won its three top prizes. He’s now Gotham Award nominated.

RT @JulianCastro: I haven’t been shy about discussing issues many Democrats run away from, including police violence. I’ll continue to say the names of the lives lost to police violence—and continue fighting to fix a broken system that takes the lives of too many Black and Brown Americans. https://t.co/SkuJ2DqxjX

RT @ryangrim: This is an impulse many rich people have — nervousness that if everyone is able to get the treatment they need, rich people won’t have privileged access to the best doctors and specialists, etc. It’s as cold-hearted a calculus as conceivable, but we’ll likely see more of it https://t.co/ANZG539qfz

RT @christinevans: HUGE TURNOUT!!! Today’s mobilization for @DeanPreston & @chesaboudin brought out healthcare workers, teachers, berniecrats, socialists & more — so much positive energy for these two progressive campaigns for change!!! REMIND your roommates, neighbors & co-workers to vote!!!! https://t.co/g6xXnANx2o
RT @Romanoff2020: You oppose the #GreenNewDeal, sued communities that tried to restrict fracking, & scratched your name off the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge.

RT @SenJeffMerkley: While Kirstjen Nielsen tries to rewrite history as the hero of her own story, and Trump considers promoting her fmr Chief of Staff to run DHS… a reminder that we are still just now discovering how many kids they traumatized and tore from their families to make a political point. https://t.co/SnZKTR0mia
RT @chesaboudin: I will never use evidence obtained by an officer with a history of misconduct I will prosecute officers just like anybody else when they break the law That’s why the police officers association is spending $55,000 to spread misinformation about me and this movement. https://t.co/RvVby7sA4y

RT @ESOP_STL: “Officer Ray Villalvazo reported Murrietta looked at him and reached for his waistband, so he feared for his life.” This is an officer with a warrior mentality that murdered a 16-year-old because he lost a foot pursuit. Running from the police shouldn’t be a death sentence. https://t.co/ON5bzyolW3
RT @JumaaneWilliams: Its fascinating the unadulterated, insane, & absurd shit that comes out the mouths of those in power when power of privilege & supremacist beliefs are challenged even & maybe especially when for simple competency.

RT @JumaaneWilliams: This is outrageous and unacceptable. Not only is the state response criminalizing Blk/Bwn New Yorkers in a way we've never done with Bridge/Tunnel fare evasion or Placard Abuse.

In addition, they want companies to offer all employees a choice between old and new pension plans or face financial sanctions.” https://t.co/TSRGgSGLtT
RT @GunnelsWarren: @BernieSanders In other words, Bernie’s very essence is about building or joining grassroots efforts against: Segregation Starvation Wages Social Security Cuts Pension Cuts Outsourcing ⬆️Drug Prices Climate Change Endless Wars Wall Street Greed Postal Service Cuts Cuts to Veterans Benefits
RT @GunnelsWarren: @BernieSanders The first thing Bernie taught me was that it was not good enough to write a good bill, amendment or speech. If we were going to improve the lives of the working class, we had to rally the American people against corporate greed and corruption. Some major grassroots victories⬇️ https://t.co/nq7QWDTTZi
RT @GunnelsWarren: The tweet below is 1 of the most absurd takes of the campaign. The 1st grassroots campaign I worked on for @BernieSanders was back in 1999: To restore $320 million in pension benefits that IBM had stolen from 130,000 workers. We had 1 major Senate ally: Paul Wellstone. Thread https://t.co/1y0ya9zpsL

RT @AyannaPressley: As I was paying my respects to our forever Chairman, his staff told me that in his final hours he signed subpoenas to USCIS and ICE, pursuing justice for immigrants in my district & across the country with chronic medical conditions. A man of his word every moment of his life. https://t.co/igzUPl1yPF
RT @MomForProgress: @ninaturner @NBCNews @BernieSanders As @briebriejoy has found out since this first circulated -- THREE outlets have reported this, stemming from a WaPo transcript. @NYMag has yet to correct, and this now has been floating around for 24 hours as Warren's moment. Something has to be done. This is obscene!

RT @danielmarans: Chesa Boudin is a public defender running for San Francisco DA against the wishes of the city's establishment, including the mayor who seated an ex-cop as placeholder DA ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

Pressure must still be applied to ensure a thorough investigation of the Fort Worth Police Dept. https://t.co/txfZSc8Mkq
RT @MeritLaw: Aaron Dean has been arrested. It’s a good start. He’s a bad apple.

Accountability in Fort Worth is the long game. https://t.co/mj9evvrk2t
RT @MeritLaw: The family of Atatiana Jefferson is relieved that Aaron Dean has been arrested & charged with murder. We need to see this through to a vigorous prosecution & appropriate sentencing. The City of Fort Worth has much work to do to reform a brutal culture of policing. https://t.co/IG1nZLo1T5
RT @shaunking: This nation needs to understand that Black folk are nearing an eye for an eye on the issue of police brutality. Folk are sick and tired of it. I hear it several times a day. I have had calm, cool people tell me they feel like being violent over this shit. It's too much. https://t.co/9t0lalAo81
RT @shaunking: The @FortWorthPD has murdered people not just all year this year, but for decades on end. This case is the tip of the iceberg and they know it. The @TarrantCountyDA has refused to hold this department accountable at every turn. We approach this news with healthy skepticism. https://t.co/9t0lalAo81
RT @shaunking: BREAKING: Fort Worth Police Officer Aaron Dean has just been handcuffed, arrested and charged with the murder of #AtatianaJefferson. This is a tiny measure of progress.
