The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

🧵 1/10 Imagine a world where healthcare is affordable, housing is secure, the air you breathe is clean and fresh, the water you drink and swim in is pure, the food you eat is healthy and nourishing, the climate is stable, and everyone has a fair chance. A world free from the grip of a powerful few …

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

The immense economic power of the richest Americans allows them to wield immense political power, too. They can pour millions into our elections to elect politicians that will continue to rig the system in their favor. We must end this vicious cycle.

God, we need a miracle to save this country from evil, corruption, gaslighting, and suffering that this administration has caused. Open the eyes of those that are blind and let those who are deaf be able to hear. Enough is enough...

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless. In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a multi-billion dollar industry. It all began with the Powell Memo.

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins cheered on 4.3 million Americans losing SNAP benefits thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. That's the biggest drop in food assistance in nearly 30 years — all to give the ultra-rich even more tax cuts.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

MLK didn’t ask us to remember him quietly. He asked us to act. MLK Day is a day on, not a day off. Honor his legacy by defending protest, voting rights, and human dignity — today. ✊🏾🕊️ Read more: bit.ly/45gSFUh #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better. But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

In the richest country in the world, families are forced to choose between buying medicine and food.    It’s flat-out wrong, and Medicare for All would put a stop to it.

Every year, the IRS loses over a 100 billion dollars because it doesn't tax businesses called "churches." Look into that waste, Elon! youtu.be/37cZqx349xU

Ditch fascism, one Tesla at a time.

Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs. And lying about their connection to Project 2025. They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda. And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

Proud to be part of the 2025 MLK Day Parade in Dallas yesterday, celebrating my father’s legacy with youth groups and community leaders working toward justice, equality, and the Beloved Community.

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today: "The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars." We must find & feed the points of light.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

VP Kamala Harris: "Today, I did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that I have taken many times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States."

I’m not gonna lie: when I watched Kamala Harris compose herself, and uphold the dignity of her office and the sanctity of her responsibility while presiding over the certification today, it really fucking hurt me.

The 119th Congress begins tomorrow. Expect to see the same chaos, dysfunction and extremism from House Republicans.

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people.

Finally, after long serving as an unofficial symbol, the bald eagle, with its white head and yellow beak, was officially declared the national bird of the United States on Christmas Eve.
