RT @_SJPeace_: This RACIST highschool teacher in Texas, Georgia Clark, tried to contact Trump to get her Hispanic students deported The school fired her for it but she just won her appeal A state agency ruled that she should be reinstated or be paid a year's salary WTF?!

RT @ScottHech: Hearing that one of these heroes is currently imprisoned for murder & was out on day release. Everyone is amazed. But it’s not at all amazing or surprising. *Everyone* is far more than the worst thing theyve ever been accused of doing. Not just a talking point. It’s humanity. https://t.co/ju6fbnOicC
RT @_waleedshahid: I find it pretty gross for Buttigieg and Biden to continuously accuse people like AOC of doing the bidding of elites like Trump while they're both hosting fundraisers with wealthy corporate executives on Wall Street and in the insurance and pharmaceutical industry. https://t.co/3C7geSZlQb

RT @davidsirota: More @PeteButtigieg on why @BernieSanders should be president: “His stance on gun control led to NRA-organized media campaigns against him. Sanders has also shown creativity in organizing drug-shopping trips to Canada (to) call attention to inflated drug prices in the U.S.” https://t.co/olKPxGH2gF
RT @shaunking: That’s me. Exactly 15 years ago today. Over 400 stitches on my face. My eyes were swollen shut. Bottom lip sewn back on. Eyelid sewn back on. Almost all of my teeth were damaged/ruined. A horrible car crash on Black Friday in 2004 crushed our car, and me. Glad to be alive. https://t.co/TOvDF70fxT
RT @fshakir: I don’t know why I’m bothering with a response. Alas. To have an advanced society that lifts the working class, you need universal benefits paid for through progressive taxation. Why does Pete dislike Social Security, Medicare, public parks, libraries, fire stations, etc? https://t.co/owANrPGwL3
RT @AOC: This is a GOP talking point used to dismantle public systems, & it’s sad to see a Dem candidate adopt it. Let’s talk about why Republicans are wrong on this. Just like rich kids can attend public school, they should be able to attend tuition-free public college. Here’s why. https://t.co/pWprP0qrhG

RT @adrielhampton: After I filed to run for Governor of California, Facebook said it would fact-check my ads. Facebook lied.

I clearly remember you raising this issue with progressives like @davidsirota over this past year. https://t.co/KeJ37riMYG
RT @shaunking: @MikeBloomberg Here's the thing @MikeBloomberg. Your legacy as a public was questionable before today. But now the entire country is going to watch you blow hundreds of millions of dollars on an egotistical charade while you could be helping to Flip the Senate or back a credible candidate.

RT @CosechaMovement: "YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR TRUMP" - @JoeBiden. An immigrant leader confronted Biden in Greenwood, SC about her fear of ICE.
