Wildfires are spreading.
Storms are coming.
Thereās precious little time left.
We must mobilize our economy around a #GreenNewDeal before itās too late. pic.twitter.com/7Z1WevXaNz

The current fight in DC is about more than a wall. It's about whether we are a nation of laws, where the president obeys the Constitution and democratic processes. The American people must inform Trump that we will not become an authoritarian nation.

Much appreciation to @AOC for speaking truth to power. We must legalize marijuana in a way that recognizes & repairs the disastrous, disproportionate harms of the drug war & mass criminalization on people of color.

Queens: Where did this coupon come from? $300 is too much. Who gave this to you? This is weird.

You canāt separate marijuana legalization from the injustices of the War on Drugs.
If you do, those who profit from private prisons can get another payday w/ marijuana.
$ is a justice issue. Communities decimated by mass incarceration need to see investments w/ legalization. twitter.com/drugpolicyorg/ā¦

On its own, a promise of jobs is better than no promise of jobs. But that isn't the right question.
The question is why do the wealthiest corporations and people get special welfare to do what so many other small businesses do every day for free -- create jobs and employ people.

Come for me all you want, but my job is to make sure that people are protected in society.
Someoneās got to look out for the people our system is leaving behind - esp now, when most of the wealth created is going to fewer people, those left behind are the majority of Americans.

Is that culture of āstrict performanceā why Amazon workers have to urinate in bottles & work while on food stamps to meet ātargets?ā
āPerformanceā shouldnāt come at the cost of dehumanizing conditions.
Thatās why we got rid of sweatshops.

Amazon touting ājobsā (has anyone fact-checked where this 25k number even came from? How many were promised to be local hires?)
...but they refused to even consider hiring union when we insisted labor be part of the conversation.
Union jobs are a key ladder to the middle class. twitter.com/jonbouch/statuā¦
