    Hanging a swastika at the rally of a presidential candidate who is Jewish and had family executed by Nazi’s during the Holocaust is disturbing and threatening. Both VP Biden and Sen. Sanders should have secret service protection going forward.

    And it is done. The State of Alabama just executed an innocent man. Nate Woods is dead. We are crushed that Nate experienced this grizzly injustice and crushed for his family. This is a modern day lynching. He broke no laws, at all. Never fired a gun. And surrendered.

  • Over the last 10 yrs, HALF of $$ to super PACs came from 25 ultra-rich donors. The ultra-rich few are buying and poisoning our elections. We need to put government back on the side of our communities, not the billionaires!

    Being poor is expensive. In Michigan, where there is no reliable public transport, you may have to pay as much as $500 a month for mandatory car insurance because you have a bad credit score

  • The data shows that someone with no car accidents or tickets is paying a higher rate for auto insurance just because they have a poor credit score. These are proxies that discriminate and hurt working families.

    Let’s not undersell the power of Elizabeth Warren’s candidacy. She set the pace for policy on everything from disability justice to racial justice to a wealth tax. She is a giant of our movement. I can't wait for our progressive movement to build together.

  • . you inspired so many people across the country, especially little girls. Thank you for running and doing it unapologetically.
