“If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it — usually to those closest to us: our family, our neighbors, our co-workers, and, invariably, the most vulnerable, our children.” --Father Richard Rohr

If Congress can pass laws to reduce child poverty, it can pass laws that end child poverty. Poverty is a policy choice.

I usually don’t share these moments, but today is different. These arrogant ass neoliberals need to get their heads out of the sand.

Generic Democrat beats Trump by eight!!! Biden loses to Trump by five!! That’s a colossal thirteen point difference! It would be the greatest act of political malpractice if the Democrats run this incredibly weak and hobbled candidate.

Joe Biden took $145 million from dark money PACs in 2020. Who does he owe favors to? The corruption we have in this country is ridiculous.

I'm glad @RepDeanPhillips is in the race, but his answer that he's not running against Joe Biden leaves something to be desired. I'm not unclear about it - I'm running against Biden. He's at 37% and will almost certainly lose. We need a new candidate!

The Republican politicians most culpable for the rise of Trump are not the crazies. It is the moderate “respectable” Republicans who are most to blame. These leaders KNEW BETTER, yet decided to endorse an unhinged megalomaniac to advance their own careers. Pathetic and sad.

Bernie Sanders is calling for a reduction in the workweek to 32 hours, at full-time pay. He’s absolutely right. Gains in productivity should serve the working class. https://t.co/SoXLhz9fx4

Michigan is now slated to become one of five states in the country to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students in public schools.

In less than 100 days, over 3 million children could lose access to care. Childcare workers will lose their jobs, parents will leave the workforce, and the economy will suffer. Let's pass my bill to provide quality childcare at $10 per day.

"Without congressional action, the childcare crisis will become a catastrophe," a new @TCFdotorg report warns.

If you want to understand an addict you have to start at the beginning. Where is the beginning? Who knows. They sure as hell don’t. The hole inside their soul has been used as a dumping ground so many times who can say what they find when they start digging. But we can take a
