No more private prisons and private detention centers. No more profiteering from locking people up. No more "war on drugs." No more keeping people in jail because they're too poor to afford cash bail. Instead of more jails and incarceration, we need more jobs and education.

Now, more than ever, we must make it clear that women in America have a fundamental right to control their own bodies, not the government. And we must do everything we can to expand that right—not take it away, not weaken it.

Money laundering. Bribery. Mortgage fraud. Collusion. Currency manipulation. Rate tampering. These are just some of the routine business practices on Wall Street. The business model of Wall Street is fraud. It is not the exception to the rule—it is the rule. Break them up.https://twitter.com/buzzfeednews/status/1307772968378957824 …

Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands three years ago today. It is a disgrace that they have not received the full federal resources they need to recover. We are the richest country in the world. We must fight to ensure that all our people live with dignity.pic.twitter.com/gWooJrr4pT

No worker should be paid less than the minimum wage. It's time to end the subminimum wage and guarantee truly integrated employment opportunities for people with disabilities. I'm proud that my home state of Vermont has been a leader on this issue.https://thehill.com/regulation/labor/516869-commission-on-civil-rights-calls-for-end-to-subminimum-wage-for-disabled …

Unfortunately, Sen. McConnell has decided to go against Justice Ginsburg's dying wishes and is cementing a shameful legacy of brazen hypocrisy. The right thing to do here is clear, and Senate Republicans know it. We should let voters decide. Period.pic.twitter.com/VI5O6RCnpg

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one of the great justices in modern American history and her passing is a tremendous loss to our country. She will be remembered as an extraordinary champion of justice and equal rights.

Every week during the pandemic: 643 billionaires became $32 billion richer. The total income of the bottom 82% of workers went down by $3.7 million - combined. Our job: Tax the obscene wealth gains billionaires made during the pandemic and expand Medicare to all.

While big banks and large corporations are able to borrow money for virtually no interest, it is absolutely unacceptable that low-income Americans are being charged 400% interest on a $375 payday loan. We need to put predatory lenders out of business and move to postal banking.https://twitter.com/commondreams/status/1306666575987179525 …

$4.7 billion a day. $32 billion a week. $141 billion a month. $845 billion over 6 months. That's how much 643 billionaires in America made during the pandemic, while 30 million Americans don't have enough food to eat. Yes. It's time for austerity for the billionaire class.

Amount of federal government subsidies given to the fossil fuel industry every year: $15 billion. The amount it should be, immediately: $0.

If we can afford to give $740 billion to the Pentagon, please don’t tell me we can’t afford to eliminate homelessness in America and cancel the rent during a pandemic. Instead of more bombs and more missiles, we need more jobs, more rent relief and more affordable housing.
