Some Tweets from Elizabeth Warren

What do you know, Elizabeth Warren can focus on real issues and on solutions.  Hopefully, today's Twitter feed is an indication of a new direction and not some momentary aberration.

  2. I hope you’ll tune in at 9:00 PM ET tonight!
  3. When women fight, women win. Congratulations, !
  4. Homestead is hot and barren, with a completely enclosed fence. I saw children being marched from one building to another in single file lines. No laughing, no playing. These are children who are prisoners.
  5. At Homestead, a young girl named Lea gave me a hand-written note. She wrote about the fear of losing her parents to deportation and asked me to fight for immigration reform. No child should have to grow up with that fear. Lea, I promise: We’re in this fight together.
  6. I went to the Homestead, FL detention center this morning to shine a light on what’s happening. There’s no place in this country for operating private prisons that profit off of cruelty. Detention centers like the one in Homestead should be shut down.

    My friend is down at the unlicensed, for-profit child prison at Homestead right now, drawing attention to the child detention crisis. These children deserve so much better and our government is failing them in horrible, horrible ways. Thank you, Elizabeth.

  11. There are a lot of different ways that we get in the fight. And one of them is that you show up. I'm at the Homestead detention center today and I hope you'll be watching.
  12. A year ago today, SCOTUS made the wrong decision in upholding Donald Trump’s bigoted and xenophobic Muslim ban. We won’t forget and we won’t stop fighting until Muslims are treated with dignity and respect.
  13. Yesterday at my town hall in Miami, I got asked an important question: Would I go to the Homestead detention center to shine a light on what's happening? The answer is yes. I'll be there today and I hope you'll join me.
