Anti-semitism, or fear of open debate on Israel?
@marcsteiner, @clenchner, & @PhyllisBennis discuss Congress's shifting history on Israel, why they're now so mad at @IlhanMN, and whether it involves her being a woman of color (hint: yes). ⬇️

A huge pile of data shows that medical cannabis helps people reduce or eliminate opioid use for chronic pain.
If lawmakers want to combat the opioid crisis, medical marijuana has to be on the table.

The news cycle is already saturated with presidential hopefuls—for an election over 600 days away.
If you hate campaign season, mega-donors can be blamed—luckily, a new anti-corruption bill could finally quiet the Super PACs.

Nobody “earns” a billion dollars. “The very wealthy do produce some value, but most of them are rentiers, piggybacking on the work of others” marketwatch.com/story/billiona…

Even weeks after the shutdown, 4 million federal contractors—including low-paid support staff—still have no pay for their 5 weeks of lost work.
We must have collective power to protect workers from injustices like this.

America is not the "land of the free" unless we celebrate those who learned what freedom is through being denied it for centuries.
Freedom for all begins with freedom for the most marginalized. #BlackHistoryMonth

The U.S. Senate Majority Leader mocked a bill expanding ballot access while staying silent on foreign threats to our elections.
Mitch McConnell's suppression of the vote is racist, corrupt, and traitorous to democracy.

Older generations really seem to love painting millennials and Gen Z as apathetic.
But when it comes to the climate crisis, it's dynamic youth movements that are bringing the energy while their elders drag their feet.

Polluting corporations are directly responsible for the sea level rise and wildfires destroying thousands of miles of land.
If property rights were real, climate-destroying companies would be sued out of existence.

Only when her dream of creating a Poverty Council was rejected by the DNC did activist Susie Shannon find out the Democrats' dirty truth: They don't want to address poverty.
This avoidance has to end now.

Ilhan Omar is one of the first-ever supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement in Congress. That's why pro-Israel figures are attacking her. jacobinmag.com/2019/02/ilhan-…

“Our communities can no longer be used as sacrifice zones.”
The #GreenNewDeal is a broad, bold piece of legislation—but for it to be the overhaul we need, it must center climate justice specifically and strongly.

Issues that would cost Trump $0 to mention:
- Declining wealth in black families
- Maternal mortality rates for black women
- How 33% of prison pop. is black when only 12% of U.S. pop. is
Trump every time he sees a podium:

Surprising no one, this study shows that giant corps swearing they'll create tons of jobs usually find loopholes not to.
NYC is exactly right in telling Amazon and their shiny new headquarters to get lost.

"Trump said he would protect families. Then he deported my husband."
If Trump's policy was based on anything but racism, the only people he'd be arresting are the CEOs who close factories and cash in while workers are laid off.

While Ilhan Omar was bashed for her AIPAC tweets, Israel's leader was preparing to meet with his good friend Viktor Orbán, who blatantly praises Nazis.
The Omar hate isn't about antisemitism. It's about Islamophobia & racism.

Thanks to a few key politicians, taxing the rich went from a pipe dream to real plans.
Now it's time to make those plans into policy, or as they say, "Tax the hell out of the rich, when they’re alive and when they’re dead."
