RT @grassroots_law: Jacob Blake. Breonna Taylor. George Floyd. This system isn't broken—it’s working exactly as intended. It was designed to oppress us, maim us, and kill us. It can’t be fixed. That's why we’re calling on EVERY city to defund the police NOW. Join us: https://t.co/BGioP6dJsY https://t.co/VmOdKrir6A
RT @Mathieu_Era: FED UP. Ain’t enough money in world to keep overlooking true issues that effect the mind body & soul of what we do. We cannot be happy for self when our communities are suffering & innocent folk are dying.. since George Floyd, there have been at least 20 other police shootings. https://t.co/UmzuuWP7us

RT @RexChapman: Arguably, I may be the most visible recovering opioid addict in America. I’m from KY. Born and raised. White. Best HS player in America (arguably). College All-American. NBA lottery pick. 12-yrs NBA. The epidemic is killing middle America. The GOP decided this issue was partisan. https://t.co/d1ls9wYlFr
RT @ClimatePower: As a physician, epidemiologist, and former director of @DetHealth, @AbdulElSayed knows that the only way to defeat the COVID-19 and climate crises is by leading on science. We need leaders who will trust our nation's experts—watch and share this video ahead of #RNC2020: https://t.co/AT15ACW6Es
RT @KristenClarkeJD: .@AOC pressing a reluctant Louis DeJoy to turn over his calendar to ethics officials so it can be screened for conflicts of interest. She also gets DeJoy to concede that he probably has been in contact with officials/friends at XPO since starting at #USPS DeJoy: I'm new to this. https://t.co/ucIegjFadq
RT @GangiFromProp: Reading that Wisconsin police have long checkered history of murdering people w/o consequence. Won’t break the chilling cycle of police violence til pols in power fire the guilty cops. In fact, pols’ past inaction has led directly to the reprehensible shooting in Kenosha. https://t.co/0mBLIir7eU

RT @dj_diabeatic: Linda always has my back, and I'm always going to have hers. She's one of the most brilliant and kind-hearted leaders and organizers around. She fights tirelessly for the safety and betterment of ALL communities. I'm proud and so honored to call her my friend. https://t.co/URZmTw3EcH
RT @rachelbtiven: I am disgusted and dismayed that the Biden campaign “condemns [the] views” of @lsarsour. Do they condemn caring for your neighbors, Jewish and non-Jewish? Do they condemn working for the dignity of every person? Because I know Linda, and that’s what she stands for. https://t.co/X8DbhZvVjm

RT @AymanM: When I was a young boy growing up in the MidEast I used to make home videos pretending I was a newscaster.

RT @kai_newkirk: As the Democratic convention starts tonight, I'm proud to share the ballot I cast as an Arizona Bernie Sanders delegate. I voted No on the platform because it excludes #MedicareForAll. M4A would save tens of thousands of lives each year. We cannot wait. #DrawTheLine #M4AllNow https://t.co/hwnZTB21Tb
RT @AOC: It’s great that Kasich has woken up &realized the importance of supporting a Biden-Harris ticket. I hope he gets through to GOP voters. Yet also, something tells me a Republican who fights against women’s rights doesn’t get to say who is or isn’t representative of the Dem party. https://t.co/38h6JGpbMj
RT @kai_newkirk: John Kasich on AOC this morning: she's "just some member" who doesn't represent the Democratic Party. The @DNC & @JoeBiden need to prove Kasich wrong & show @AOC the respect he won't. She should give the keynote or have at least as much time to speak at our convention as Kasich. https://t.co/or72eT466O

RT @alexkotch: This is the 2006 bipartisan bill that bankrupted the USPS by requiring it to fund a retirement account for its workers 75 years into the future. No other gov’t agency has this burden, and I seriously doubt any business does. Bill was clearly an attempt at privatization. https://t.co/SlbiLehZre

RT @BWestbrookAZ8: As I was elected to do as a pledged Bernie Sanders delegate, I have officially submitted my ballot for Bernie Sanders. I voted NO on the Democratic Party platform because it does not include #MedicareForAll. I voted YES for the Rules Committee resolution. #DrawTheLine #M4AllNow https://t.co/XQoxenehVf
RT @CoriBush: I cast my DNC ballot last week. I’m proud to have voted for @BernieSanders, but I had to vote against the platform. My people are dying, & I cannot support a platform that does not include #MedicareForAll, which would save lives. Tens of thousands of lives. Literally. https://t.co/pGIAhiPiXc
RT @RashidaTlaib: Today, I cast my DNC ballot and voted NO on the proposed platform. I constantly hear from constituents demanding we push for a single-payer system and away from this for-profit system that is leaving people to suffer and die just because they cannot afford health care. 1/2 https://t.co/cYghYNu6TI
RT @GunnelsWarren: Please read this thread & ask @markos to retract his bogus article ridiculously claiming Trump's attack on the Postal Service was enabled by Bernie Sanders. This nonsense needs to stop now. We should all be uniting to defeat Trump, not rewrite Bernie's record to save USPS. https://t.co/miMo93rCKg

RT @davidminpdx: The mayor of Chicago has, for several days, lifted the bridges and restricted public access to large parts of the city — in what can only be described as a massive incursion on basic civil liberties.

RT @BuffyWicks: Remember: on Nov 3rd, the future of our court system is on the ballot. Our ability to pass common sense gun safety laws is on the ballot.

RT @ScottHech: When the cop who murdered Eric Garner was finally fired 5 years later, this NYPD union head who just endorsed Donald Trump lost his mind & claimed the decision left the NYPD “rudderless.” He was furious that his troops couldn’t kill w/o accountability. This is who the NYPD is. https://t.co/Tf8fCkDHwb
RT @JamaalBowmanNY: I’m speechless. NYC is a beautifully diverse, working class, democratic city. The NYPD is clearly showing they are not interested in working with the people of our city. This explains their continued aggression against innocent people. It’s time for dramatic change. https://t.co/5Xjl3ThJHa
RT @AOC: NYPD union endorsed Trump. I’m sure this is part of their neighborhood outreach plan. Also, does anyone else see a potential problem with police unions - enforcement arms of the state with lethal weapons - promoting “preferred” candidates for office or is that just me? https://t.co/UlmigAuedh

RT @jewelhurtado_: .@DemConvention needs to #LetAOCSpeak. Young people will be tuning in to watch the convention.

RT @RashidaTlaib: We MUST move away from a profit-based health care system that prioritizes the bottom line over public health.
