Oysters (shucked by me) are 50 cents a piece. Prosecco for 13 bucks a bottle at the corner store. This isn’t brunch. This is a cheap Nola breakfast. And I’m sure all you haters can take your comments directly to the local fishermen who are barely hanging on who we are supporting!

Trump not conceding is much more dangerous than it appears.
After WWI a group of German soldiers never conceded defeat after Versailles. They became an armed militia - the Frei Corps- for 20 years and eventually became Hitler’s SS.
Trumps armed militia supporters are very...
similar. They pose a huge threat to the future and to democracy.
These people are racist, authoritarian, violent and they don’t care about what is true and what is not.
Bu the most dangerous thing about them is that they feel wronged. They feel cheated. They, like their...
predecessors, The Frei Corps, feel that they have to keep fighting until they achieve a victory. The more this smolders, the more dangerous it gets.
That’s where Trump comes in- if he clings to these falsehoods, and to these armed militias, he can bring enormous pressure...
1) I voted for @HillaryClinton in 2016, and campaigned for her.
I loathed her campaign and many of her positions.
I voted for her because the movement I am a part of helped shape the Democratic Platform and because I knew we could apply pressure.
But mostly I voted bc...
I wanted to own some small piece of responsibility for what came next.
I voted for her so that she would have been MY President and MY responsibility-to push her, protest her, goad her and move her at every stage.
Democracy is a responsibility. My vote for her was one small..
piece of the power we hold collectively. We must hold our representatives to account, and by my actions I was owning this responsibility- not excluding myself fro it. It was my commitment to the progress of our movement and to our mutual ownership of the government.
People stuck in traffic are witnessing NYPD beat up folks on their way home.
This was sent to me by a friend of the women in the car, @tommiesunshine. Stuck in traffic for nearly an hour on 50th street and third Ave.
Ridiculously, @CNN and @donlemon are interviewing the #Nypd chief and they are saying that protestors started the beatings at the brooklyn bridge. So what is this??? People running through the streets away from cops.
3)Like all the distributors of the film that I spoke t, FFA had not seen the film prior to posting it. I don't blame @FilmsForAction for this-they did it bc of @mmflint's reputation. But I think it's strange that Michael Moore would not let anyone see the film before distribution
There’s a lot of talk about @BernieSanders decision to stay in the race.
I think he needs to stay in and I’m going to outline why in this thread.
As a people’s movement, so many of our positions are overwhelmingly supported by the majority (cont.)
Medicare For All
15 dollar min wage
Green New Deal
Marijuana legalization and criminal justice reform
Ban on #Fracking
Billionaires and corporations paying their fair share of taxes.
Americans support these ideas and they need to be fought for.
Especially in this pandemic.
It is so clear that we need a fundamental shift in the way our government and our society works.
@joebiden’s campaign represent NONE of these things.
But we have enough delegates to create real leverage in the party. We have to organize that leverage and keep pushing.
