Big problems on the ferry from Freeport to Florida — announcement just made that any Bahamian without a visa must now get off. This is not normal. Nornally Bahamians can travel to USA with passport and a printout of their police record. This is a mess.
Love this effort by @thenext100 to envision & manifest new headlines. Here is one from us: "Pres. @StaceyAbrams announces her third nomination to @SCOTUS. Once confirmed this nominee will become the second queer woman of color from the South to ascend to the highest court."
A U.S. appeals court ruled in our favor and rebuked a new Indiana law that sought to aggressively cancel voter registrations, agreeing with a lower court ruling that blocked the law last year. bit.ly/2MFVcAM
Indeed. Weakening disaster resources violates the most basic responsibilities of government. As New Orleanians we know disaster planning and relief *is* border protection and national security.
As another hurricane season begins, President @realDonaldTrump is stealing millions in disaster relief funding for American communities to fund his hateful border rhetoric. Congress must take back OUR power of the purse. newsweek.com/tropical-storm-…
.@Mattel, your blurb on how Rosa Parks "led an ordinary life as a seamstress until an extraordinary moment on Dec. 1" is just plain wrong. I wrote a book detailing her life of freedom fighting - 2 decades of activism before her arrest & 4 decades after. Can I help you do better?
Trans and non-binary people shouldn't have to face invasive and dehumanizing screenings to travel. We must do better—and I’ll keep working to ensure that every trans and non-binary American is able to live without fear or discrimination. propublica.org/article/tsa-t…
Interesting proposals. We are all for a robust conversation about the structural incentives creating and accelerating many of the current failures in American broadcast media. Crucial to move beyond blaming any one station or ideology. The problems are systemic.
Corporate conglomerates and hedge fund vultures have decimated independent and local news.
We'll protect independent news and a free press by enforcing antitrust laws, empowering journalists to form unions and increasing investment in local public media. cjr.org/opinion/bernie-sande…

Immigrants—all immigrants—deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Our value is not conditional on the size of our bank accounts.
