RT @AOC: It’s wild to me how people crawled over my 60 mins interview with a fine-toothed comb to find any word or reason to claim I’m unfit for the job, yet here Kevin McCarthy (the GOP Leader!) is a bumbling, sloppy, dishonest mess & his mediocrity is accepted as a matter of course. https://t.co/zx7qlhW9dh
RT @shaunking: One simple question for you. What would happen to Botham Jean if he walked into a white woman’s home and shot/killed her while she was in her pajamas on the couch eating ice cream? Then texted his married lover and refused to provide the white woman he shot any first aid? https://t.co/s92fAmNEeC
RT @MetOpera: The Met mourns the loss of Jessye Norman (1945–2019), one of the great sopranos of the past half-century, who sang more than 80 unforgettable performances with the company. We extend our condolences to Ms. Norman’s family and friends. https://t.co/38WXiHkKPg Photo: Met Archives https://t.co/DXzWKl8o7U

RT @armandaviram: Editing this video had me on the verge of tears. We are letting our fellow citizens endure unnecessary pain just so health insurance companies and their CEOs can make billions in profits every year. Their greed has to end. We need a leader who will fight for Medicare for All. https://t.co/8f7sBCiBtU

RT @chesaboudin: Today, justice was denied. Stephon Clark was shot multiple times, several times in the back and once on the ground. He was unarmed. The shooters were identified, but never charged. Today, Sacramento returned guns to these men and put them back on the street. #StephonClark https://t.co/rY2KLEP3hV
RT @chesaboudin: Our mom's were in prison together. As kids, he was my role model. Years later, my freshman year at Yale, I learned that Lorenzo was in prison - on my dad's cell block. It's time to break the cycle of poverty and recidivism. #TeamBoudin #Boudin4DA Video by @tash_florentino https://t.co/nipONtuR16
RT @avitale: This analysis is so important, because it points out that superficial procedural reforms are actually part of the problem. We cannot "reimagine" safety with more training for the police. Anyone who isn't actively calling for the downsizing of police is just playing. https://t.co/d7mIDa1B3x
RT @KristenClarkeJD: Autopsy photos of Botham Jean showed bullet wounds that punctured his heart, lungs and stomach. Amber Guyger claims she performed CPR but there was NO blood on her uniform. Her testimony is a trail of lies. She must be held accountable. #BothamJean #AmberGuygerMurderTrial https://t.co/qRG7Hwxnfz
RT @SawyerHackett: I recall a prominent NYT reporter telling me it was “dangerous” to post max-out Trump donors that are published by the FEC. That same reporter reposted a NYT article exposing information about a whistleblower to the biggest national security story in decades. https://t.co/KqVbS1kiMn

RT @briebriejoy: Starting salaries for public defenders is around $47,500 depending on the city. Law school costs 180k. This is why Bernie's criminal justice plan specifically cancels student debt for public defenders beyond his one time debt cancellation policy. #JusticeForAll https://t.co/PwWbk7RoDI

RT @youngsinick: Respectfully, how many people died because of George W. Bush and his administration’s lies or incompetence. I get the intent behind the sentiment here, but sanitizing savages under the pretense of civility is why we have that sociopathic idiot in the White House now. https://t.co/k8iS8xisxL
RT @SenSanders: Trump is depriving 500,000 kids of their school lunches for no damn reason—even after 139 members of Congress warned him not to. I cannot begin to understand the casual cruelty that motivates Trump and his billionaire friends to harm vulnerable children like this. https://t.co/XhTZrgNS37

RT @MeritLaw: Last week DPA pres. @mmata7313 suggested #AmberGuyger’s trial should be delayed for the TX State Fair. A bizarre assertion. Now we know why. Video evidence shows Mata meeting w/ Guyger the night of the murder. He took her out of custody & ordered fellow officer to end recordings. https://t.co/58kSfkCUC8
RT @MeritLaw: Evidence in court today proved what we already knew. #AmberGuyger received special treatment from the very beginning. When she should have been placed in handcuffs instead she got handshakes and hugs. The officers responsible for gathering evidence were busy covering for her. https://t.co/yPJr6GP3qZ
RT @bettypants: Borrowed from @FlipTheSenate and @shaunking because this is a very helpful infographic for today’s big news. We’ve still got a long ways to go, but no matter the outcome, it’s forever recorded that the house had enough support to move forward with an impeachment inquiry. https://t.co/YsYBcX19Rt

RT @TomNamako: Wow -- NYT publisher says the Trump administration was prepared to sit back and allow one of its journalists to be arrested in Egypt. So the paper turned to the reporter's native Ireland for help, and it was those diplomats who got him out -- not the US. https://t.co/dWv4Bfuo5B https://t.co/RGQ5uHWbRT
RT @BernieSanders: It's unfortunate but not surprising that Biden’s polling firm is helping distort Medicare for All. The truth: Medicare for All means no premiums, co-payments or deductibles. It means everyone except the very wealthy will be paying far less than they do now for health care. https://t.co/mfJIa3ua43

RT @MalXNational: This is part of the racist attempt by the rich liberal class to write us out of existence because @BernieSanders is proposing structural change that challenges the power system that enables them. @ninaturner @krystalball #ResidueForBernie https://t.co/GA6xpsXsIq https://t.co/UH33PUxEu8
RT @JuddLegum: TRUMP: I did it PELOSI: These troubling allegations must be investigated TRUMP: No, it was me PELOSI: This raises more questions and I won't rest until we get to the bottom of it TRUMP: I broke the law PELOSI: We will collect all the facts and determine if any law was broken https://t.co/olcaPfsqT0
RT @DrRJKavanagh: Dennis Turner, the Orlando cop who arrested a six-year-old girl, has previous complaints for use of excessive force. He was also once arrested & charged with aggravated child abuse for beating his own 7-year-old-son and investigated for assaulting his ex-wife's boyfriend. https://t.co/m5JXytk1LZ

RT @AfroStateOfMind: We have to stop letting people who hate Black children control their education, scholarship & access to learning. So long as Black people are committed to trying to co-exist w our version of Hitler (aka integration), nothing else will keep our babies safe. https://t.co/dkUEpZ4d3G
RT @VotePulver: For those not from MI, you should understand what a huge transgression this is. Our #MackinacIsland has been a car free haven forever, a piece of history frozen in time. Tell anyone from MI @VP just drove not 1 but 8 CARS on this island & watch their blood boil. #PureMichigan https://t.co/cjfXcygdzO

RT @JumaaneWilliams: My thoughts & prayers are with the family of 14-year-old Mario Venezuela. Bicyclist deaths in NYC have reached an alarming rate— 21 this year alone. I urge the Council & Adminstration to expedite safe street legislation to help prevent future tragedies like these in the future. https://t.co/4axRomnxqz
RT @JimmyVanBramer: I contacted @NYC_DOT before Robert Spencer was killed in March & then again after to plead for action. Now a 14 year old boy is dead. When will @NYC_DOT start treating this like the emergency it is? The 21st cyclist killed this year & the 2nd in LIC— this demands radical action! https://t.co/MjGEGCvTa0
RT @kenklippenstein: Missing US soldier said he wanted to “take out” child traffickers and cartels at the border, per FBI doc leaked to me. Rifles, a shotgun and pistol belonging to him are missing.

RT @AOC: The tot is my staffer’s 1 y/o!

Dear @GovLarryHogan: It’s not a good look when the white male governor injects himself into a situation to criticize a Black woman State’s Attorney & end around a majority Black city that twice voted to elect her.

RT @kai_newkirk: Senate Dem Minority Leader @SenSchumer says: "I don't know of *any other Democrat* who agrees with Beto O'Rourke" on a ban & mandatory-buyback of assault weapons. Incredible.

RT @TalbertSwan: A Black boy was jumped by 3 white boys at R.W. Blake Academy in Lakeland FL.

RT @TamikaDMallory: .@deray is what we call “throwing stones from a glass house.” I never took one penny from @shaunking nor has he ever offered me any. All it would have took was one phone call.

RT @RAICESTEXAS: This is terrible news. Asylum at the border is now banned for all but Mexicans. More lives will be lost. Call your elected rep. Tell them they need to come out strong against this. The election is coming up. They need to fight for immigrant rights. We certainly will be. https://t.co/DeXN4RHU72
RT @RepRoybalAllard: I vehemently disagree with the Supreme Court majority's decision to enable Donald Trump's assault on our asylum system.
