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...

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…
All roads lead to Greensboro for Moral Monday on September 30. Help us spread the word! #PoorPeoplesCampaign m.facebook.com/events/4640263…

In the cold winter weather or Oregon, I just stood and talked with PPC organizers who are part of the homeless union fighting for dignity.
They go home tonight and live in the woods, because America that is rich in empty houses and empty buildings refuses to open them to members of the human family.
But these brothers and sisters said they have joined the rising, and they won’t be silent anymore.

I have deep respect for @WhipClyburn, but I strongly disagree that black ppl have a generational problem w/ gay ppl like @PeteButtigieg. Have we forgotten all the gay people who’ve been a part of the fight for liberation, from Langston Hughes to James Baldwin to Bayard Rustin?
When you read the record, the same people who want to block gay rights are against voting rights, labor rights, health care & basic humans rights.
In America we don’t have a race test, religious test, or a sex test for political office.
Instead of worrying about someone’s sexual orientation, Black ppl, white ppl—all ppl—should be worrying about where they stand on health care, living wages, voting rights, climate change, & public education.

White nationalism has a “we won” logic that is dangerous. Winning in their mind means “by any means necessary.” We destroyed the Native American population, therefore we have the right to place them on reservations, mistreat them & they don’t have any say.
It said, “We won over Africans by snatching them & making them slaves, breaking them, hanging them & destroying them. They are in chains; we won. Therefore, they don’t have anything to say.”
It said, “We won with the Dred Scott decision, so shut up & accept your slavery. We won in Plessy, so why are you fussing about Jim Crow?”

Folks, it is happening

Largely because the anonymous book isn’t out for another week and a dear friend of mine asked me to do both

It is time for Linda Reads Books So You Don’t Have To, so everyone grab a whiskey and we will reconvene shortly!
By “shortly” I of course mean that I’m going to go smash some china and when I feel ready to tackle this waste of trees and ink I will be back!
The last book we read together was of course called “American Carnage”, and here’s the beginning of that thread! A few tweets down you’ll find links to the other books we have reviewed, if you’re curious

Hi @egg509!

I feel as though we need to have a discussion about your 3 tweets below 👇🏾

I invite you to have an adult conversation with me. Allow me to address your tweets directly, mmk? /1

#Bernie2020 #FeelTheBern #NoMiddleGround
Let's tackle your tweet about how us Berners have no respect, morals, integrity etc.

We actually do! And a LOT of it!

Bernie's movement is a moral movement which has lots of similarities to MLK's #PoorPeoplesCampaign.

#Benie2020 /2
We believe in human rights that many Democrats themselves don't believe, like giving those incarcerated the right to vote as example. We also believe things like EDU are human rights along with housing.

This will be the beginning of my LIVE thread of the Barr hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. This is where I am watching and is the only live feed popping up right now. Feel free to share others below:
Here is the link to Fox and there are others in the comments:
The members are beginning to take their seats and the press is settling down. Please excuse typos and abbreviations as I move through and attempt to provide an accurate portrayal of what's said along with some commentary. If you have notifications turned on, you may want them off

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
