RT @BernieSanders: I am not often speechless, but this young Dreamer's courage took my words away.

RT @thehill: .@AOC: "Any job that pays $2.13 an hour is not a job. It's indentured servitude. All labor has dignity and the way that we give labor dignity is by paying people the respect and the value that they are worth...

RT @theappeal: Memorial Day weekend marked the beginning of summer, which for the 2.3 million people incarcerated in the US - often confined to tiny cells in the blazing heat with no windows or air conditioning - can be the most grueling & dangerous season of the year. https://t.co/eYjyLFnIk2 https://t.co/5DQ1ZBsJZE
RT @JessedHagopian: Unreal. One of the 200 books this prison just banned was from my organization @RethinkSchools. They banned our beloved, “Rethinking Our Classrooms” (https://t.co/uBkvxEcDkJ…) Some of the book’s topics are: -Building Community From Chaos -Race and Respect Among Youth #UnbanBooks! https://t.co/2pKrHrKk68
RT @rgoodlaw: To see the full contradiction between: 1. What Barr told @CBSNews: "We didn’t agree with…a lot of the legal analysis in the Report…So we applied what we thought was the right law." vs. 2. What Barr told Congress in written testimony on May 1, 2019. Here's the testimony👇 https://t.co/tKS5hX1bQX
RT @rgoodlaw: Barr vs. Barr May 1 to Congress: “We accepted the Special Counsel’s legal framework for purposes of our analysis...in reaching our conclusion” May 31 to CBS: “We didn’t agree with …a lot of the legal analysis in the Report…So we applied what we thought was the right law.” https://t.co/l6xFvNT7m6
RT @BernieSanders: Jane and I are grieving for the victims in Virginia Beach and their families. The days of the NRA controlling Congress and writing our gun laws must end. Congress must listen to the American people and pass gun safety legislation. This sickening gun violence must stop. https://t.co/iSAtYWg7HH

RT @ErikaAndiola: You are not running a f**en company @realDonaldTrump. You are running a country. Your actions have consequences. You've killed children. You've put kids in cages. You've separated them from their parents. People are still seeking refuge. YOUR CRUELTY IS NOT WORKING. ENOUGH! https://t.co/ac66ah5f89
RT @AOC: .@tedcruz if you’re serious about a clean bill, then I’m down. Let’s make a deal. If we can agree on a bill with no partisan snuck-in clauses, no poison pills, etc - just a straight, clean ban on members of Congress becoming paid lobbyists - then I’ll co-lead the bill with you. https://t.co/AZTbmdSexv
RT @Taniel: Fascinating partisan dynamics in what happened in NH: Dems were nearly unanimous in supporting abolition, *AND* abolition would not have passed without GOP votes, incl. a senator who this morning justified his stance based on being a "pro-life advocate" https://t.co/BH6agItJcw https://t.co/i7O9Vxze6S
RT @AOC: Just ahead of coming out of bartending retirement, @ryangrim shares this heartwarming tale 😬 What’s wild is that I’m a member of Congress & I STILL found myself pausing at this, scared of possible repercussions of this story being public. Imagine how everyday waitresses feel. https://t.co/a9rTU9ZPlt
RT @AOC: Taxes, taxes, taxes! We have sworn Congressional testimony that you artificially deflated your assets to skirt paying the taxes that fund schools & more (a crime), & inflated your assets for insurance (also a crime). Mueller has nothing to do with that. Cough up the receipts 💸 https://t.co/k7PvCsORFl
RT @theappeal: It's time for politicians to stop talking at Black voters & start talking with them. One thing that matters to Black voters - police violence. 55% report having had a negative interaction with police: 28% in the last 6 months & 38% before the age of 18. https://t.co/s2Jf6JQFGE https://t.co/BLGppZv39L
RT @AOC: Early coverage from before anyone knew who I was almost always came from outlets or reporters who could understand + identify early dynamics. That means early coverage frequently came from journalists who happened to be women, digitally savvy, immigrants, or people of color. https://t.co/80QbfiCF5H
RT @AriBerman: 🚨🚨New docs show that architect of GOP gerrymandering was behind Trump's push to add citizenship question to 2020 census, said it "would clearly be a disadvantage to the Democrats” & “advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites” https://t.co/eWImMPC9QM via @hansilowang https://t.co/grtdl0o8Pc

That's bc @KatBrezler's the real deal! https://t.co/ss7pfdXHeY
RT @rebeccaballhaus: NEW: The White House wanted the USS John McCain “out of sight” for Trump’s visit to Japan.

RT @shaunking: The answer to this is Medicare For All. It’s the policy of the entire developed world. Universal single payer healthcare is the world norm.

RT @Taniel: Is everyone properly celebrating that ≈80,000 people across 2 states regained the right to vote this week? And that in the future thousands more will regain the vote years earlier than they would have otherwise (IF they ever would have)? The electorate suddenly expanding is 🎉! https://t.co/ggdjO0xknV

RT @carterforva: Not even going to subtweet, I'm just going to say it: I stood up on the floor of the House and said this would happen. 85 out of my 98 (at the time) colleagues heard me, and ignored the warning. Some told me not to be hyperbolic. Now people are being priced out of their homes. https://t.co/905MZPOhQK
RT @shaunking: The San Antonio Police lied about all of this. It’s 1am in the morning. In less than 9 seconds, the officer knocks on the door, shines his light through it, and then unloads his gun. Nobody was armed. #CharlesRoundtree never made it off the couch. Killed right there. https://t.co/z3UlHwkndk
RT @jessicashortall: Stop commenting on little girls’ appearances, @JoeBiden. At BEST, you’re doing them a disservice, reminding them that how they look is open to your subjective judgment. Worse, you’re reinforcing the “normalcy” of your consumption of them. Worst, it’s really, really creepy. https://t.co/3QDat6BsoC
RT @ElieNYC: Every time this happens (and, newsflash, it’s gonna keep happening) we’re going to have to debate if Joe is creepy or just clueless. And whether we’re being aware or oversensitive. So, wherever you come down, spare me your “electability” arguments, because they are trash. https://t.co/9WMRv9CmM7

If you want to defeat Trump, you choose the Democratic nominee who is supporting, and is being supported by, these movements.
