I was grateful to share the #PoorPeoplesCampaign’s call for a #RevolutionOfValues w/ @TheDemocrats & pray the @GOP will accept request to hear our demands too. We can’t revive American democracy w/out 43% of us who are poor & low wealth.
And we can’t tackle poverty w/out challenging the systemic racism that has kept black, white & brown people from coming together in fusion coalitions.
We know how to come together thru moral fusion organizing. It’s the only thing that’s ever pushed this nation toward a more perfect union. #PoorPeoplesCampaign. Join us! poorpeoplescampaign.org

I’m glad to be home in NC this week as the #PoorPeoplesCampaign’s “We Must Do More” Tour links up w/ moral movement partners to build up a movement that votes! Please share events below w/ folks across NC...
I’m at @DukeSanford tonight to give a public lecture on “Reviving the Heart of Democracy.” This is a movement w/ a plan & we need policy makers who are ready to work hand-in-hand w/ impacted people.
You can register here to sign up to canvass in Greenville, NC this weekend, as we go door-to-door w/ neighbors to register people for the movement who vote. actionnetwork.org/events/north-c…

If conservatives want to disavow racism they must reject policies that have a disparate impact on people of color. #PoorPeoplesCampaign has written @GOP to request an opportunity to present our analysis of 5 interlocking injustices. We’re ready. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
If GOP wants to separate itself from Trump, McConnell should join Pelosi & demand Trump stop attacks on immigrants, pass immigration reform, restore the VRA, make just policies toward Native Americans, & support living wages & health care—all of which impact people of color.
And stop callling every program that helps people “socialism”—a scare word that’s been used in racist ways to attack black leadership for years.

Pastor John Hagee said before Trump, judges were being appointed slowly. Not true. McConnell blocked Obama nominees.
Hagee says socialists are anti-God. Truth is, the Bible says nations that don’t care for poor, sick, hungry & immigrants will face judgement.
Those he supports give tax cuts to the greedy, but he dosent say anything. Yet he speaks out against health care for all.

Listening to CNN giving Trump Campaign Free PR again....
tagging it with news?
Over and over they have done this all day.

Running snippets with his code words repeated over and over.

Are they really that stupid?

Or is @CNN owned & directed by #GOP sponsors?
@CNNPolitics
CNN must have a short memory.

Trump attacks them as Fake News all the time.
Can't they recognize a #TreasonousTrump

When they hear him?
#Dictators control the News in all forms.
Net Neutrality is hanging by a thread.
Trump uses Twitter to attack News media every day.
Listening to CNN
Trump is calling Democrats stupid.
I'm innocent. No collusion. No conspiracy. Just those big fat
Democrats attacking me.
Then they explain He is just an entertainer and not a Statesman.
What the hell do they think they are doing?
Rerun all day long.

1. The founders believed that the synergy of free, informed individuals with three independent branches of government would make democracy thrive. They didn't consider that the synergy of a campaign, a foreign power and a complicit majority party could destroy democracy.
2. The knew a free press was integral to our success, but they couldn't have envisioned the mass spread of propaganda - spawned and disseminated by foreign entities - through social media. Nor could they anticipate a major news network becoming a propaganda arm of the WH.
3. Further, they didn't likely imagine that our country would become so powerful that the choices of a rogue administration could inflict significant and lasting damage on a global scale - impacting economies, alliances and stability. Yet, here we are.

I'll say this clearly for you people in the back who just don't get it: I'll take a government full of establishment hacks over a fascist bigot threatening the existence of American democracy any day of the week. Hell, I'll fight for that "establishment" if it saves this country.
You want to make new law, pass progressive legislation, build a fairer country? Me too! First, save the system of laws by casting out this criminal regime. It's the whole ballgame. We will advance NOTHING till he's gone.
I have zero patience for all of your "well, Hitler was just a symptom of something larger" bullshit. Ride or walk, it's your choice. Do you even care? Is it all an intellectual exercise? Does this fucking BORE you?
