RT @UFCW: .@BernieSanders is right. Amazon paid $0 in taxes on over $10 billion in profits. All while the avg American pays $10,489 in taxes. Something needs to change. Our nation needs to start valuing hardworking people and make companies like Amazon pay their fair share. #DemDebate https://t.co/4WX3SPo7mH
RT @BernieSanders: Tonight 34 million Americans are uninsured but health insurance and drug companies made $100 billion in profits last year. People are homeless but companies like Amazon did not pay a nickel in income tax. We have to come together to transform this country. #DemDebate https://t.co/A42U4j9dYF

RT @bradlander: Another terrible cyclist death in Brooklyn just today, this one because a driver could not take just one second to check the mirror before opening the door. Also can’t help but wonder whether the 4th Ave protected bike lane might have saved this life if it were further along. https://t.co/AdT5JgeXgg
RT @francismmaxwell: ‘A 6 year old child was shot and killed with a legally purchased AK-47’ Legally. Purchased. AK-47. Any nation that stands by and allows children to be murdered with weapons of war is no great nation at all. This isn’t about politics, it’s about fucking common sense man. https://t.co/AIVAc2ZpUf
RT @shaunking: We just learned that the mass shooter shot and killed this beautiful boy, 6 year old Stephen Romero, with an AK-47 assault rifle. Bought legally and easily in Las Vegas then taken to the California Bay Area for mass carnage. It was built as a weapon of war. Just awful. https://t.co/aLprKJBzbd
RT @shaunking: That’s 6 year old Stephen Romero. Shot and killed last night in the mass shooting in Gilroy, California. He was just out at a food festival with his family. Beloved by his whole family. Nothing but sweetness. Gone. Shame on this nation for its inaction. Utterly shameful. https://t.co/zqXOsWuTvu
RT @Taniel: CBP & ICE keep arresting U.S. citizens with valid IDs by saying they can't trust IDs, so they're claiming the right to detain anyone who looks like how they imagine an undocumented immigrant. It's not been about status, or IDs. including this 9-year old. https://t.co/lKZELdKLf2 https://t.co/FMYzGzgjO8

RT @BernieSanders: This family was able to save $10,000 buying insulin for their son in Canada, where the exact same insulin is one-tenth the price. The profits the drug companies are making ripping off the American people is scandalous, it is outrageous and it has got to end. https://t.co/Rew4ftIo0o
RT @DarrenGoldner: TFW you see current levels of activation, engagement & remember @BernieSanders kickoff @BrooklynCollege w/ @ninaturner & @shaunking warming the crowd & 13k diverse supporters ready to activate.

RT @thisisrobsmith: That’s it. It’s hard out here for a “conservative, white, Christian, cisgendered, heterosexual male.” It’s def NOT b/c he: *called a Vietnam vet an “enemy” & a “pothead” for using marijuana to treat his chronic back pain *failed to meaningfully discipline Juan #MeToo Martinez https://t.co/SvvQvWWnG4
RT @Scout_Finch: ".... General Hyten reached for her hand. She became alarmed, and stood back up. He stood up too, she said, and pulled her to him and kissed her on the lips while pressing himself against her, then ejaculated, getting semen on his sweatpants and on her yoga pants." https://t.co/AJXga74c7o
RT @jbrand07: This is undoubtedly an outrage. So is the fact that in many dem strongholds, unlike the feds, DAs and Attorneys General never left the death penalty. Like DA Lacey in Los Angeles.@kimoggforda in Houston. @JoshShapiroPA. People who claim to hate Trump do things just like him. https://t.co/N4FaRW8iwx

RT @AniUcar: Multiple people have told me they feel safer from authorities intervening when celebrities like Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny, and Residente have been with them in the protest. And right now that comfort is needed considering the heavy authority presence. #RickyRenuncia @vicenews https://t.co/Ef7DM8BhCD
RT @sarahkendzior: This is a disqualifying comment. It was obvious how bad Trump would be and what he would do, and plenty told him in detail -- including HRC. That Joe Biden couldn't discern this, along with not noticing things like, say, Russia hijacking the Treasury in 2015, is disqualifying. https://t.co/S3z4V5EvFZ
RT @_CFAL: This kind of barbarism is far too common in our system. We receive countless letters from clients detailing the abuse they suffer at the hands of guards. Many choose not to make formal complaints for fear of retaliation. All they can do is hope it does not end like this. https://t.co/6bgeMG69ty
RT @KristenClarkeJD: BREAKING: We just sued Louisiana over the discriminatory map used to elected judges to the State Supreme Court.

Prop 47 made California safer because law enforcement could focus resources on serious crime. Now @AsmJimCooper is trying to wind back that success by insisting that we need to collect DNA for low-level offenses.

UGLY. https://t.co/6M0PBXe4Lr
This is a modern day Klan rally. Those MAGA hats are the new Klan hoods. They aren't hiding it -because they don't have to -the President of the United States is an open, flagrant racist and bigot.

RT @KWestSavali: @esglaude @_waleedshahid @AOC @justicedems In the context here, CBC incumbents *have* to know that claiming they’re being “targeted” by progressive Black/POC challengers because they’re Black is not going to fly.
