What if — and stick with me for a minute, because this is a pretty far out concept to some of my Republican colleagues in Washington – what if we spent as much money helping the working class of this country as we do on our nation’s military?

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment. Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

In September 2007, Blackwater military contractor Nick Slatten helped massacre 17 innocent Iraqi civilians – none of them armed – and claimed he did it because he felt threatened. He was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder. Donald Trump just pardoned him.

Billionaire wealth increased by $1,000,000,000,000 during the pandemic. Why do we tolerate this grotesque accumulation of wealth while the rest of the country suffers?

I was taken out of rehabilitation classes & assigned to work in the kitchen from 12n - 7:30pm. I was paid $0.08 an hour. But I owed restitution to the state, which deducted 55% of anything I earned. So they took 55% of my $0.08 p/hr. That left me with abt $0.03. #LaborDay2020

Why does McConnell refuse to give a few extra hundred bucks in unemployment benefits to Americans during a pandemic but happily hands tax cuts to the top 1%? Because he’s morally bankrupt, soulless piece of shit.

Sickening!! @LafayetteINPD could have arrested Richard Bailey without such excessive use of force. Instead, LPD officers commanded a K9 to attack Bailey, puncturing his trachea and cutting the carotid artery, leaving him hospitalized for many days. That is CRUEL and INHUMANE!

Usually when we see people in unmarked cars forcibly grab someone off the street we call it kidnapping — what is happening now in Portland should concern everyone in the US. These actions are flat-out unconstitutional and will not go unanswered.

Sure, wearing a mask is about 60% likely to protect you from contracting the virus but it’s 100% certain to prevent you from being an asshole.

We're running out of PPE again. Meanwhile, Congress is working to pass a $740,000,000,000 military budget. Our budgetary priorities are obscene.

Imagine a country where you don’t lose your access to health care when you lose your job. What you’re imagining is virtually every country besides the United States.

Pharma giant Gilead just announced they will charge nearly $2,500 for a COVID-19 treatment called Remdesivir. The thing is US taxpayers invested at least $70 mil developing remdesivir while the cost of making the drug is $10 This isn’t healthcare. This is extortion.
