[screams into the void]:

Elizabeth Warren created an entire government agency dedicated to stopping corruption by the rich. She’s the only one who wanted to prosecute the big banks after the subprime collapse and is the only one promising to prosecute Trump’s criminal ass.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was Elizabeth Warren's idea.

She proposed it BEFORE the financial collapse bc she knew PREDATORY lending was going hurt people.

It has returned *$12.4 BILLION* to working people cheated by financial companies.
nytimes.com/2017/01/28/opi…
Elizabeth Warren follows in the footsteps of FDR, JFK, and Barack Obama.

She is a smart as hell, tough, results-oriented bad-ass with an undying commitment to a GOOD GOVERNMENT which works FOR THE PEOPLE, protecting us from deeply-entrenched, corrupt, financial interests.
"We need someone who got into politics for the right reasons, someone smart who wanted to stop financial corruption. Also someone who defeated an incumbent Republican."

"Elizabeth Warren did all those things"

"Hmmm...I don't know. There's just SOMETHING I don't like about HER."

@drvox It’s a different understanding of power. One believe instituions must be changed from the top, from the inside. The other believes institutions are often impediments and must be remade, dismantled and resembled in order to do the will of the people. Each had its strengths.
@drvox The ACA is a great example of the first understanding of power working very well. Obama didn’t get everything he wanted but he insured 22 million. Those to the left of him wanted to walk away over the loss of the public option. This would have killed the whole thing.
@drvox The civil rights movement, the marriage equality movement, the protests against the Vietnam war, are all examples of power wielded outside institutions meant to remake them to do the will of the people they are supposed to serve.

Baby Boomers had a living wage.
Baby Boomers had (mostly) free college.
Baby Boomers enjoyed an infrastructure built with a 90% marginal tax rate on the rich.

Bernie is crushing the youth vote simply because he wants to give them the same things Baby Boomers had.
The massive caveat of the above tweet is that these privileges were overwhelmingly enjoyed by WHITE (mostly male) Baby Boomers.

To be perfectly clear: health care is a right and a living wage should be available to all people from all backgrounds and it wasn't during this time.
Dear Baby Boomers,

Millennials own *4%* of real estate value in the US.

At their age, Baby Boomers owned *32%* of the country's real estate value.

Call me old-fashioned, but I sorta think kids should have a BETTER world than their parents did.

Roger Stone is a rich white man convicted of OBSTRUCTION of justice & PERJURY. His sentence is being reduced.

Willie Simmons is a black man from Alabama currently serving a LIFE SENTENCE for stealing $9.

Never let anyone tell you justice is blind in America. It only sees color.
Willie Simmons is an army veteran who spent the past *38* years in jail because he stole $9.

He is a victim of the cruel, racist habitual offender law (similar to 3-strikes laws) which rob people of their humanity for political points.

He should be free.
blackenterprise.com/alabama-man-se…
Sentencing in America is NIGHTMARE of racist precepts designed to imprison black men.

Black people are sentenced to life without parole for non-violent crimes at *4 TIMES* the rate of white people for the EXACT SAME CRIMES.

Persist Until #PresidentWarren

@darylsturgis @therealzanetta 1/ #Warren is the smartest, the toughest, and the most likely to beat Trump. She is the world’s leading expert on medical bankruptcy so she understands both the economy and the health care system. Watch her in hearings; she can eviscerate Trump.
@darylsturgis @therealzanetta 2/ She understands people. She knows what its like to almost lose a parent and to almost lose a house. She understands what it’s like for a woman to hear a man say “she just misunderstood my joke.” She’s been a single mom and a champion debater.
@darylsturgis @therealzanetta 3/ She dropped out of school to get married, as so many women did, and she came back to become a great professor and Senator. Her life is her resume—and while there are a few books about her life, she has also written a dozen that weren’t about her at all.

Elizabeth #Warren has just proven she cannot unify the Democratic party.

For those not aware, she attacked Senator #Sanders directly today by reviving smears from the 2016 primary and recast herself in the performative victim role of Hillary Clinton that we all found so

(1/16)
very endearing. This is the first time either Warren or Sanders attacked each other directly and given the desperation one might expect with her declining numbers, it was Warren who launched the grenade. She used an unverified and heavily disputed report of a lower level
(2/16)
volunteer canvassing script that distinguished her GE electoral coalition as "affluent and highly educated" to claim that Bernie was sending volunteers to "trash" her. Quite a stretch. She then launched into a nervously delivered pathetic 2-minute long monologue

Probably. They're so bad at it it's hard to tell though tbh

It's weird, because @ljmontello's affidavit mentions the 2004 (Paragraph 6), 2007 (Paragraphs 7-8), and 2009 (Paragraph 9) conventions

She never claimed to be at Tekko 2010. Why are you lying?

That's just for starters

(1) Do WE, THE PEOPLE realize that Sanofi Pasteur’s Tripiedia DTaP vaccine listed AUTISM as one of the adverse reactions to their vaccine? If parents knew that, they might have reconsidered giving the child the vaccine.
(2) That particular brand DTaP vaccine is no longer available on the market as of 2014, but the serum’s insert – last updated in December 2005 –under a section on page 11 describing “ADVERSE REACTIONS,” researchers acknowledged “autism,” among other serious complications...
(3) The insert warns:
"Adverse events reported during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, AUTISM, convulsion/grand malconvulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea."
