“Little fucking k*kes. They get ruled by people like me. Little fucking octar**ns. My ancestors fucking enslaved those little pieces of fucking shit.” Still here, @jack.

No one should be sitting in jail because they are poor. Cash bail is a disgrace and must be abolished.

The prison phone industry is a monopoly worth more than $1 billion a year. Corporations are getting rich denying people access to their loved ones. As part of my plan for justice and safety for all, we will make prison phone calls and other communications free of charge.

BREAKING: the DA in Staten Island just asked a judge to set $5,000 bail on a man who took a sandwich and juice because he was hungry, and couldn’t afford to eat. The DA recommended the man serve 6 months in jail. They did this in the name of the “People of New York.”

.@youtube is a radicalization machine.
Replying to @DavidAstinWalsh
UPDATE: It's been suggested that the shooter learned of the Battle of Athens from RW media and YouTube. Glenn Beck hyped the story as an example of how an "armed citizenry" can take down a corrupt government, and this video has 2 million+ views on YouTube. youtube.com/watch?v=U5ut6yPr…

It's taken me 45 trips around the sun, but for the first time in my life I know what it feels like to have a "band-aid" in my own skin tone. You can barely even spot it in the first image. For real I'm holding back tears.

About 15 million children live in families with incomes below the poverty line in our country. Instead of giving tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest amongst us, let’s invest in the future and end childhood poverty.

What if a bold agenda rooted in improving everyday people’s lives is part of a winning strategy? What if the choice btwn big ideas+winning elections is a false one that crept up through outsize influence of💰in politics? What if, in a nation parched for change, we were water?🌊

I’m with her. 👇🏾👇🏾
I am deeply concerned about the dangerous rhetoric and images some elected officials, including @POTUS, are using regarding Congresswoman #IlhanOmar. These actions are especially reprehensible in these times of resurgent racism and hate crimes, some against our Muslim neighbors.

There is no rock bottom to @realDonaldTrump. His tweet is out of context, morally & factually dishonest, & threatening @IlhanMN. His dangerous, cowardly behavior behind a keyboard deserves the strongest rebuke from ALL Americans & a suspension, @jack. #SuspendTrumpsAccount

This country was founded on the ideas of justice, of liberty, of the pursuit of happiness. But these core beliefs are under threat. Each and every day. We are under threat by an administration that would rather cage children than pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Ilhan Omar never downplayed the events of 9/11. She is a cosponsor of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell tried to defund the medical assistance for 9/11 first responders. Where's the outrage?

One of the ugly aftermaths of 9/11 that is too often ignored is the codified profiling of Muslim-Americans solely bc of their faith. No-fly lists. Warantless mosque surveillance. All of it. To fear+suspect all Muslims due to the actions of terrorists is bigotry. Plain & simple.

Two years ago, Bodega owners across NYC (& cheered by neighbors)shut their shops citywide to protest Trump’s #MuslimBan. Today, that same community is banding together to reject sales of the NY Post at bodegas citywide. This is what real unity (& NYC solidarity) looks like ⬇️
