RT @AOC: No human being should be tortured by or in the United States. That means NO ONE should be kept in solitary confinement. Layleen Polanco was, and now she’s gone - all for $500 bail + low lvl offense. #CloseRikers #AbolishSolitary #EndCashBail #DecriminalizePoverty #EndWarOnDrugs https://t.co/3p9bcXg8HB
RT @chrisconte: “People will die because of this.” Another rural Tennessee hospital on the verge of closing. This time in Jamestown. Ambulances are no longer allowed to bring patients here. The next closest ER is 45 minutes away ... https://t.co/372jzPz8kW
RT @TheTNHoller: While @GovBillLee and the rest of the GOP brag about our fiscal stability ranking, we continue to extend our lead over the nation in rural hospital closures. Unconscionable to continue to deprive these citizens and communities for purely political reasons. #ExpandMedicaid https://t.co/qiTT31XGku
RT @kylegriffin1: Trump told aides to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing Joe Biden in many of the states he needs to win, NYT reports, even though Trump is also trailing in public polls from key states like Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania. https://t.co/IohVU3QHWC

RT @theappeal: The Democratic prosecutors of two big Virginia counties joined a lawsuit to stop Governor @TerryMcAuliffe from restoring people's right to vote. On Tuesday, they're facing challengers who question whether anyone should be disenfranchised at all. https://t.co/r6CwzkZdpM

RT @FernanFrontera: Bumgarner embodies everything we hate about the old vanguard of baseball “purists”. Muncy just clobbered your pitch 600ft. You don’t get to be “mad” and then chuck it up to “unwritten rules”. You are just a child having a tantrum on the mound. https://t.co/oqiJJvs4Lj

RT @BernieSanders: A few years ago we were told a $15 minimum wage was "unrealistic." Then California and New York passed a $15 minimum wage. Then so did Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland and Connecticut. Imagine what we'll be able to accomplish when we're in the White House.

RT @CabanForQueens: Ending mass incarceration is a family affair! Today, my parents talked to voters in Richmond Hill about our people-powered campaign for Queens District Attorney. (check out my dad repping 🇵🇷 for the Puerto Rican Day Parade) https://t.co/0Psmjs8fsk
RT @MrChuckD: It’s fkd up the future of the planet is in the hands of humans who mathematically ain’t got 20 years ahead of them ...this is why millennials are pissed off once they get ‘conscious’ and why governments wanna keep them down and dumbed on bread and circus https://t.co/d2GdNfZX6g
