RT @BernieSanders: I'm fighting for an agenda that works for workers – not the 1%. YES to raising the minimum wage to $15/hr. NO to tax breaks for the rich. YES to creating millions of good jobs through a Green New Deal. NO to billions in corporate welfare for big oil companies.

RT @elisacresponyc: (2/4) It’s shameful for anyone to weaponize transphobic victimization. The slimy @nypost perpetuates this by referring to survival sex work as prostitution. The @nypost has been notoriously unkind to the LGBTQ community, & this is yet another example.
RT @elisacresponyc: (1/4) Our campaign is building momentum and people are scared. I’ve lived the struggles of my constituents and that has given me me the grit and determination to fight on their behalf. My lived experience is shared by many in District 15. https://t.co/fBpvuP01iO

RT @DashaBurns: This is heartbreaking for families and also for health workers who often treat people they know personally in these small, tight-knit communities. They are watching neighbors die because they were told by leaders they trust that this virus is a hoax.
RT @DashaBurns: Ultimately, politicization and misinformation around COVID are having tragic real-world consequences. People are dying because they don’t seek medical care when they begin having symptoms. They don’t believe they’re sick. And by the time they get to the hospital it‘s too late.
RT @DashaBurns: Another nurse told me some come in severely sick with COVID, but when they test positive they blame the hospital for giving it to them. There’s a popular conspiracy theory that hospitals are benefitting financially from COVID. But in fact, many are struggling to stay afloat.
RT @DashaBurns: One nurse told me stories of otherwise healthy 30 year-olds coming in short of breath and not understanding why. She tries showing them chest x-rays and explaining evidence of the disease, but often they don’t believe they have COVID until they’re in critical condition.
RT @DashaBurns: THREAD: I just spent 3 days with frontline workers at hospitals in a part of Appalachia where hospitalizations have more than doubled in the last month. But hospital staff say many in their hard-hit communities still don’t believe COVID is real. Misinformation is rampant.

RT @chelsiamarcius: NEW: Only five people in New York State prisons have been released on medical parole since mid-March — and for some nearing the end of life, a last chance for freedom during the age of coronavirus feels far out of reach. #criminaljustice https://t.co/ydg3Ozv2Qy
RT @Jasmyne: Tonight the L.A. County Dem Party will vote on a resolution calling on Sheriff Alex Villanueva to resign. I will be voting in support of it for sure. Why? Because we put Sheriff Villanueva in office and it’s on us to get him out. https://t.co/5SgqbNR4Gh via @LAMag
I asked a member of the transition team if @KamalaHarris had anything to do with this terrible team that was formed. "Not really," they said. "Biden and his people are really leading this whole process." I assumed (incorrectly) that she would have a lot to say about the DOJ. https://t.co/niqeABvFHE
I can't imagine that the @JoeBiden transition team for the Department of Justice could be more disappointing. Most are corporate lawyers. No progressive prosecutors. No public defenders. No professors who focus on reform & change. No impacted families or organizers. https://t.co/z5gPg5n2wU
RT @akela_lacy: Matt Axelrod, part of Biden-Harris DOJ transition team & former sr DOJ official, testified in 2012 before U.S. Sentencing Commission on importance of minimizing fed sentencing disparities but said certain mandatory minimums were "reasonable" & "an essential law enforcement tool"
RT @JohnFPfaff: Biden's DOJ transition team seems fairly disappointing. Didn't check bios of the private-firm lawyers, but the rest with crim justice focuses seem to be current/former prosecutors; didn't see any pub defs at all. And the one restorative justice grp is just for survivors only.
RT @Analilia_Mejia: That’s it. There’s nothing left for me to do, but to pack my bags, stop the presses, pull the plug, exit stage left... I’m on a list with @BernieSanders @SenWarren @AyannaPressley and @AOC??? DM me your addresses, because this is gonna be my a Holiday card. https://t.co/0qyKiwrqjM

RT @ACLU: Never forget that the Trump administration was warned of the ongoing trauma and horror family separation would cause to impacted children, as well as the enormously complicated process it would take to finally reunite families. But it refused to stop until courts forced them.
RT @ACLU: BREAKING: The parents of 666 kids, separated by this administration, have not been found. That's over 100 more than the 545 previously in the news. We will search for these parents, but we need their phone numbers. After over a year, the government still hasn't provided them.

Without citing a shred of evidence, Georgia's two Republican Senators issue joint call for their REPUBLICAN Secretary of State to resign - suggesting that he mismanaged the election to benefit Black voters. It's both bizarre and disgusting. https://t.co/yndubi6anE
RT @themaxburns: What really scares me about this @GOP "election rigging" grift is that there's just no plan. They don't expect to win - they've already lost!! - so they just don't care what pillars of democracy they knock over while trying to cast doubt on the vote.
RT @stphnfwlr: Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the state's top election official — also a Republican — to resign Monday, after alleging "too many failures in Georgia elections this year" but without mentioning specifics to support their claims. https://t.co/9QGeHrus0I
RT @fairfightaction: Statement from @sethbringman, spokesman for Fair Fight: “With their bizarre press statement, @KLoeffler and @sendavidperdue have become full participants in Donald Trump’s crybaby campaign to undermine our democracy. Voters decided, and President-Elect Joe Biden won Georgia...
RT @stphnfwlr: This is absolutely bonkers. Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the Republican Secretary of State to resign because they believe - without evidence - that he "failed to deliver honest and transparent elections." #gapol https://t.co/IzMXsvZ3eC
RT @kevinroose: Many of the top-performing voter fraud claims have labels IDing Biden as the winner. But some (like the Newsmax video) don't. And it's not clear that labels are doing much. 6 of the top 10 most-engaged posts from US pages in the past 24h are from Trump, including 4 with labels.
RT @kevinroose: A Newsmax video full of debunked voter fraud conspiracy theories (dead people voting, poll watchers barred, software glitches) is the 3rd most-shared post of the past three days. 15 million views, 345,000 shares. https://t.co/BQw4WhYM6J
RT @ryanjreilly: "Six Jones Day lawyers said that given the small number of late-arriving ballots involved in the litigation, and the fact that they already had been segregated, the main goal of the litigation seemed to be to erode public confidence in the election...” https://t.co/CotP5pCIuw
RT @Bobbin_Singh: No, Defund The Police And Medicare For All Didn’t Lead To Democratic Loses In The House Party leaders have blamed progressive left policies for disappointing electoral results. A close examination of winners and losers suggests otherwise. https://t.co/cdTkVAycDt
RT @fadiquran: One more thing to celebrate America. On Friday our team detected coordinated activity to spread voter fraud misinformation, at scale, by Steve Bannon's disinformation engine on @Facebook. We reported it, and now Bannon's engine of Disinformation is DOWN! https://t.co/9XVKEISMtm

RT @Taniel: One reason that the GOP is lying about fraud even if they don’t think their litigation talk will change the outcome of this election: set up yet more false justifications for yet another wave of suppressive laws in the states they run. The usual playbook.
RT @okaytrip: @ProjectLincoln Every good hearted person willing to donate for Georgia should get real bang for their buck. Donate to @fairfightaction and @NewGAProject who have been doing the successful ground work that got us the state. In fact I challenge TLP folks to donate a few of their millions too!
RT @UFWupdates: BREAKING: The WA Supreme Court has ruled that farm workers have the right to receive overtime pay after eight hours a day of work. This ruling is about more than money. It is about righting the deep historical wrong of excluding farm workers from labor protections. 1/ https://t.co/vSnDtxLypz
