I’m a progressive rural southerner and I like to talk about politics, study languages, eat delicious foods from around the world 😍
I also play video games and watch fun shows sometimes.

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%.
The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

Without federal support, American communities will struggle to deal with a challenge as pervasive as climate change, market analysts and environmental advocates say.
Trump funding freeze could leave communities on their own as climate threats grow

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less.
We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.
$196 billion for three men in 99 days.
Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured.
Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”
No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.
Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

How many Palestinian women and children have to be killed in the occupied West Bank before anyone in the US or UK gives a damn?

That was the best halftime show I’ve ever seen, so much symbolism done in an amazingly artistic way that brought the kind of criticism America needs to hear and see. The struggle for human rights is far from over, and too many still don’t acknowledge what African Americans and other minorities face.
