RT @joshorton: Bernie has a school de-segregation plan as part of a COMPREHENSIVE vision for public K-12 education that bans new charters, centers public schools, values teachers, provides universal and year round school meals, and won the endorsement of @AFTunion and @NEAToday. https://t.co/VvjZhbiUId

RT @theappeal: Kamala Harris was a tough-on-crime prosecutor in a Black Lives Matter era. “When progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney & then the state’s attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent.” https://t.co/IBVUDqWn9i https://t.co/EObBtJ3Uko
RT @theappeal: “There comes a point where you really have to ask yourself if we have achieved a societal end in keeping these people in prison for so long" - Cory Booker, 2016. Is this a real commitment to giving people "second chances" or rhetoric, asks @vgullap? https://t.co/RQZptzyweh https://t.co/BPigb4V1qa
RT @polly: 🚨 NEWS🚨 We got the government documents showing what detained children are being fed. Cold burritos, frozen sandwiches, and applesauce as a rare treat. “Mothers would say, ‘my child can’t drink the water or eat the food, it makes them sick.’’ https://t.co/1669JTw9bB https://t.co/xQ56D8KBK1
RT @AOC: Pretty awful that the right would make a joke of visiting a child CBP camp - but fitting, given that they don’t seem to care one shred about other people’s lives. PS That watch belonged to my dad. It was the last & only possession he left me. I wear it to mark important moments. https://t.co/b6oXiWUaPj

RT @nowthisnews: ‘There was a little girl in California who was part of the 2nd class to integrate her public schools & she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.’ @KamalaHarris called out @JoeBiden for defending segregationists & his past opposition to busing #DemDebate https://t.co/ZYAtAfP36B
RT @theappeal: Kamala Harris’s campaign slogan is "For the People.” But, as a prosecutor she represented the state primarily against Black & Brown people. Relying on her history as a prosecutor raises the question of whether she can represent all the people. https://t.co/wMF7mb1hiS https://t.co/7IzQXj5oQ5

RT @RAICESTEXAS: The American people know what's what. Despite being bombarded with hateful comments on Fox TV everyday, we know there's no 'other'. We are SO GRATEFUL to the people who are taking it upon themselves to say "NOT IN MY NAME". Keep refusing to stand idly by. Keep pushing. https://t.co/vdG1OxI6ZS

RT @IlhanMN: We should not be giving one more dollar to support this President’s deportation force that openly commits human rights abuses and refuses to be held accountable to the American people. Kids and families can’t continue to die & be terrorized. We have an obligation to speak up! https://t.co/y42W4bFLWn
RT @shaunking: A woman comes forward with a detailed, credible personal account of being raped by the President of the United States. Multiple people corroborated her story. Here are the front pages of 4 of the nation’s leading newspapers the next day. NOTHING. That’s normalization. https://t.co/W0oQsssfSs
RT @Ventuckyspaz: "He was just doing a limited strike" says the 'Face the nation' host “Oh…just a limited strike!" @BernieSanders quipped, "Oh, I’m sorry, I just didn't know that it's okay to simply attack another country with bombs. That’s a limited strike? That’s an act of warfare,” https://t.co/JgbLkkakX7
RT @altochulo: .@AOC: I’ve endorsed @CabanForQueens because she has a holistic understanding of community safety: it is freedom from fear—fear of ICE knocking on our door, fear of being unjustly arrested, fear of not being able to get out of jail because we can’t afford bail. #CabanForQueens https://t.co/NbrztcC6YY

RT @AOC: The GOP has supported building mass concentration camps on the southern border. Kids & families are dying. Now they want money for more - w/ ZERO negotiation on how $ is spent. We can’t do that. They‘ve shown that when they get more money, they build more camps. #CloseTheCamps https://t.co/DYhXuU9Crz
RT @AOC: When a powerful entity is trying to grow a system of human rights abuse (which is what this is) it’s on ALL of us, from smallest to biggest, to throw sand in the gears and stop it. We cannot be compliant with child abuse. These judges are astounded at the argument for it ⬇️ https://t.co/8oYxndP9OA

RT @RealJusticePAC: Every day in court, @CabanForQueens was reminded that the justice system is the single most powerful driver of the continued oppression of Black and brown, low-income, immigrant, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Help us transform that system on June 25th: https://t.co/UAbphUhd2Z https://t.co/MkP3JTS58M
RT @bobbytweetz: Lastly, and this is the most breathtaking display of why the QNS machine is panicking and making deals, this chart by @nasrenehaj shows momentum using total unique individual QNS contribs across both datasets. @CabanForQueens's numbers blow the rest of the field out of the water. https://t.co/vICtFuRzAB
RT @TheJewishVote: Born out of @JFREJNYC's 30 years of organizing on streets and through halls of power against mass incarceration, we at @TheJewishVote have never seen the office of District Attorney look this good for New Yorkers. That is why we endorse @CabanForQueens. Vote Tuesday #QueensDA https://t.co/OgYrBM0ojK
RT @nasrenehaj: This is very exciting to see but now it’s time to GOTV for @CabanForQueens if this momentum in donations (which dramatically outpaces the rest of the pack!) will translate into a primary win. The @CabanForQueens team has tons of GOTV opportunities thru Tuesday - let’s do this! https://t.co/QhFXziI8Vz
RT @BianeyDlaO: Tiffany Cabán Could Become the First-Ever Queer-Latina District Attorney of QNS & you can make it possible by voting for her this coming Tuesday June 25th.

RT @iamceci: “Jo Biden shouldn’t be president.

We can do so much better y’all. https://t.co/oYbfBLwJhr

RT @abgutman: Hi. Jew here. Descendant of the Holocaust. The breaking down of communities, taring families apart, and dehumanization of Jews started well before the Final Solution.

People who pose no threat to public safety shouldn't be jailed, especially when they’re only there because they can’t afford bail. @AudiaForDA will end cash bail, deprioritize low level offenses, expand no-fee diversion programs & treat drug possession as a public health issue. https://t.co/R0nbXNMMQJ

RT @FCOIrfan: If there weren't strong enough arguments for ending the violence in #Sudan, the killing of 19 children in the last 9 days should make all those responsible for the ongoing violence think long and hard about their actions.

RT @jayrosen_nyu: Two facts are in evidence here. One is he would not alert. Damning and important. The other: he’s declaring this out loud. That is a challenge to the entire system by which we try to hold the powerful accountable. Including the press, and the person who asked the question. https://t.co/jKerCOqimR
RT @matthewferner: This is scandalous. The AZ Daily Star deleted an op-ed from a PD criticizing prosecutors for blocking crim justice reform because a prosecutor said it was inaccurate - it wasn't. Deeply troubling & not the first time a prosecutor has pressured a newspaper to bend to their will https://t.co/w9pwfpkOzk
RT @davidsirota: Every journalist should ask every single 2020 Democrat quoted in this story a simple set of questions: what specific part of @BernieSanders’ policy agenda do you disagree with, and why are you laughing at the idea of guaranteeing Americans basic economic rights? https://t.co/rAfF0DNf3y
RT @RepDonBeyer: Trump just blew way past "no collusion," he's broadcasting his willingness to receive help from a hostile foreign power in 2020. He's glad his son didn't call the FBI about Russian help and says he wouldn't call them in 2020. Yes we absolutely need an impeachment inquiry. https://t.co/TeNYEbFE91
