    Just packed my car magnet in a chest of mementos. Saw my Jesse Jackson 84 pin there. I wonder if I'll live to see real change.

    The unemcumbered rise of the far right across the globe is overwhelming. The only way to defeat them is with a movement led by the multiracial working class confronting it to take back the resources and dignity the ruling class has hoarded for themselves. That’s our one shot

    It’s almost like centrists are incentivized w/fascists in office. It’s almost like they make $ publicly opposing, but quietly do nothing to try to defeat fascists. It’s almost like centrists spend all their energy smearing the left so they can continue this scheme.

    Yes. Nader warned us 20 years ago. The GOP is like a sweaty, uncouth guy who rapes you & gives you a black eye while the DNC Dems are like a good looking, well-spoken smart guy who rapes you & beats you so the bruises don’t show in public.Time to transform the corrupt system.

    At the same time Democrats were saying Trump is a mortal danger who must be impeached, they quietly: -renewed PATRIOT Act to hand Trump unrestrained spying power -backed Trump's new NAFTA trade deal…

    When I left grad school in 2008, I owed $70k in federal student loans. (A poor choice I wouldn’t make again.) For the past 11 years, I’ve been making payments (except for a period of under employment), totaling about $60,000 in payments. Guess how much I still owe. $70,000.

    Good read on friends disappearing when you’re having a crisis: “asking vaguely if there’s anything they can do but not following up, or saying they’re ‘praying for you.’ A more compassionate response: ‘I am praying for myself to have courage to help you.’

    Latest poll in California shows in 1st. Several MSM pundits are calling it a "shock." It wouldn't be if the politicos spent time studying the progressive movement and actually covered the Sanders campaign.

    Accept no substitute, no watered-down copycat. Choose the only ACTUAL progressive in this race... the one who has spent decades unwavering in his fight for the policies we must have to fix our broken system. Join us.
