The majority of billionaires have gotten richer since the start of the pandemic. Let me repeat that: 86% of billionaires are now $5.1 TRILLION richer, while some 76 million Americans have lost their jobs. Yes, the time is now to address this obscene level of greed and inequality.

Week 1... utter chaos, fascism, a big fire, stricter lockdown and a mutant strain of covid.

After seeing several people on social media share this photo claiming it showed the crowds gathered today in Washington D.C., I want to clarify that I took this photo on March 24, 2018 while covering the March for Our Lives event in the capital. The photo was not taken today.

When we take to the streets, we do so to defend our lives and build power. This is not that. This is hatred embodied to protect the status quo of who has power in this country and who doesn't. These people are not protestors. nitter.gq/NChillmonger/status/13…

Young people always think old people are stupid, and old people always think young people are stupid. What neither of them realize is that both of these are correct. Everyone is stupid.

Health care is a human right, not a job benefit. We cannot continue spending twice as much per capita as any other country, while 92 million are uninsured or under-insured, and 68,000 die unnecessarily each year. Medicare for All is coming sooner or later. Let's make it sooner.

Let's be clear. This election won't be over when Trump says it's over. It will be over after every vote is counted. That includes mail-in ballots postmarked on Election Day, as well as military ballots. This is a democracy. Whether Trump likes it or not, we count every vote.

Yes, we need to take the moral high ground over our enemies. That means fighting with greater vigor, drive, and determination for justice than they fight for hate. It does not mean being more polite than them. Politeness is not morality.

It’s no secret that I have disagreements with both VP Joe Biden & Senator Kamala Harris. But I know what I need to do - Elect the Biden-Harris ticket and prepare to hold them accountable in the White House.

Sorry I missed your call. Women on Instagram started posting their most flattering selfies in black and white and calling it an “empowerment challenge” and I threw my phone into the sea.

It is not the police's job, in democracy, to put down protests. If the police believe this is their job either they are a rogue agency or we are not living in a democracy.

People talk about "rational debate" far too much, and "educated debate" far too little. I have no interest in debating someone who doesn't understand the subject at hand, no matter how "rational" they assure me they are.

folks becoming more financially stable via unemployment is an indictment of our nation’s government, not its citizens.

88% of Democrats support Medicare for All, 85% support a wealth tax, 85% support a Green New Deal, and 75% support student debt cancellation. So no the activists calling on @JoeBiden to embrace these policies are not “dividing” the Democratic party. His. Corporate. Donors. Are.

Black people don't care if u stop saying "master bedroom" or if u remove problematic shows from decades ago from hulu, Black people want an end to police brutality and institutionalized racism. everything else is useless pandering
