@BradWalsh @AOC My family has owned a working class Irish tavern for 37 years. Want to know where America is at? Get behind the bar and listen. We need more working class bartenders (and electricians, teachers, carpenters, janitors, etc) and fewer lawyers & millionaires on Capitol Hill.

@DanPriceSeattle I founded and ran a small NGO for 15 years. Our donor base was largely made up of working class and middle-class supporters. The rich rarely gave. Same when I do mutual aid efforts now. People who know what it’s like to not have are always more generous in supporting the poor.

@MichaelaOkla Yes. And as one whose family has owned a tavern for 40 years, I would offer that the reality of being constantly connected to work and not being done at 5pm has killed the post-work “happy hour” and all the socializing and decompressing that went with it. Not a good development.

@grescoe @fakedansavage A truly “developed” country, in the spiritual/intellectual sense, would have no rich. Why? Because the the needs of the poor would take precedence over any wants/hoarding by the rich and this way of thinking and acting would be considered normal as opposed to radical.

I run my family’s small Irish tavern & make $85K a year. I start our new dishwashers out at $13 an hour and get them up to $15 as quickly as I can. Our annual profits are razor thin - if they exist at all in any given year. If my mom and I can do this, #McDonald ’s certainly can.

If McDonald’s has enough money to buy back $22 billion of its own stock, it damn well has enough money to pay all its workers at least $15 an hour. I'm proud to stand with striking McDonald's workers in the fight for $15 and a union.

"it doesn't affect me if companies pay low wages" In reality, you're paying for it. Over 50% of people on food stamps are actively working. The leading employers are Walmart, McDonald's and Amazon. As taxpayers, you're subsidizing corporations to pay literal poverty wages.

I did work in Indonesia from 2000-2014 just after the “reformasi,” the revolution that removed the dictator Suharto from power. Many of my friends had stories like what’s in this video. That happened under one of the most brutal dictators of the modern era. This is now America.

The pain of our fellow Americans is palpable. We need to hold space for each other to feel deeply and process these traumas. We need to lead with empathy and love and solidarity.

@McBrideLawNYC @realDonaldTrump As a theologian, I am really confused by your assertion here. Can we agree that Jesus’ mission was to bring “good news to the poor”? If yes, can we walk through how you believe Trump is following Jesus in this way? What fruit can we know him by?

@davidhogg111 For all the older people telling David to “stop bashing Democrats,” are you open to hearing why he’s so (rightfully) frustrated? So many of you do NOTHING in the daily grind to change things. You vote/donate. That’s it. LISTEN to a warrior like David who is on the front lines.

I am in the middle class. I pay $9,836.52 a year for my private healthcare plan. Under @BernieSanders ' #Medicare4All plan, I will instead pay 4% of my gross income or $3,906.88 a year. I will save $5,929.64. The middle class will save money with #Medicare4All . @JoeBiden is lying.

@BillKristol . @BillKristol I helped pull Syrian and Iraqi refugees from the Aegean Sea. People who were running from the horrors for which you advocated. Will you debate me? Can we have the debate in a refugee camp so you can look the people in the eyes whose suffering you helped create?

You know how some people say, “The old guys need to step aside. We need some new blood.” We have it. Not in candidates, but more importantly, in voters, in volunteers, and in grassroots donors. Young Dems are standing up and speaking out. And what are they saying...? #Bernie2020

A new Emerson poll for MA is out and Bernie Sanders is ahead of the pack at 26%. Warren is coming in at 3rd at 14% in her home state. Yikes. #Bernie2020 is also crushing the 18-29 vote at 52% AND he leads 30-49 at 27%.

@elonmusk @BillFOXLA @FoxNews @RepTonyGonzales If you finance it @elonmusk , I’ll do this reporting. We will cover the border, the root causes of migration, what the law actually says about presenting at the border for asylum, etc. This would be a huge public service. Here’s a sample of my work on a similar issue.

@WalshFreedom Joe, there are (sadly) isolated loners like this all over the world. Only here in the USA do they have such easy access to what equate to weapons of war and the ammo to fill them with to slaughter people. When are you going to man up and accept this reality? Seriously.

Nor does the Democratic Party. It is your policies in part that have created the structures that are now rupturing before our eyes. You are a band aid. A milquetoast alternative to a fascist. The leadership this moment is calling for is revolutionary. It ain’t you Joe.

As a former delegate for @BernieSanders and someone who has believed in him since I first heard him speak 23 years ago, I hope he reflects on this interview and musters the courage to say the words "ceasefire" and "genocide" without equivocation or political calculation.

I asked Bernie Sanders three times whether he thinks Israel's assault on Gaza constitutes a genocide. Here's what he said.

@tomwatson Tom, it’s amazing that you do not get this. The kids are anti-war, anti-apartheid, and anti-occupation AND they want, at a minimum, a Democratic President and the Democratic Party to be these things as well. They want a Dem President to say, “ceasefire.” And… they’re right.

Our President, @JoeBiden , could immediately force #Israel to retract this👇🏼evacuation order in #Palestine . He could say, “If you do not retract it in 12 hours, the United States is withholding all military and financial aid.” This would force de-escalation and protect civilians.

The Israeli military warned the United Nations that more than a million people in northern Gaza should evacuate south within 24 hours, a move that the U.N. considers impossible “without devastating humanitarian consequences." Follow our live updates.

@Theholisticpsyc Thank you for this thread. Coming to know my attachment style, and then utilizing Internal Family Systems Therapy to unearth and heal my attachment wounds, has accelerated more growth and healing for me in the last five years than in the last 30 combined (pics chart my growth).
