Scott Dworkin We have lots of former Trump supporters who are now joining #TheResistance, and we welcome them all.
@Funder @TheDemCoalition
Greg Palast, Author and Filmmaker of the Best Democracy Money Can Buy
@Greg_Palast Asians vote about 60% Democrats so now they won't be allowed to vote, either. Same with members of the black community.
Miranda Peterson, Research Associate on Energy and Environment Policy at the Center for American Progress
@MiraJPeterson @CAPenergypolicy @CAPAction We do need better policy and more science-based decision maker.

David Weissman, former Trump Troll I began to understand the Fox News is just propaganda. @davidmweissman
Bob Ney, I don't think anything comes of John Kerry's conversations in Iran; he has a history of talking with them. @TalkMediaNews @BobNey
Sergio Flores, California Teacher I don't want my kids to go across town to go to a better school. I want to have a better school in MY neighborhood, too. @BadassTeachersA
Sarah Burris: Trump is also a backseat driver. Funny, since he's probably never driven a car before, especially living in NYC. @SarahBurris @RawStory

@TomSquitieri @TalkMediaNews
Helaine Olen: Kavanaugh is still lying; I think his finances are mysterious and need to be investigated. He's backwards on union rights, women's rights, reproductive rights.
@helaineolen
Sarah Willenbrink: This fight for a good contract will be great for other campaign workers, too, to show them what can be done.

Sara Nelson, President, Association of Flight Attendants-CWA We need the true spirit of Americans. We saw that 17 years ago on 9/11. @FlyingWithSara @afa_cwa #NeverForget #NeverAgain
Khary Penebaker, Gun Violence Survivor It's not cowardly to commit suicide. That person was in the deepest pit of despair you could imagine. Be more considerate. Be more kind. @kharyp @MomsDemand @Everytown @NoRA4USA #GunViolence
Lisa Graves @thelisagraves It's tremendously important that the American people know who Kavanaugh is. He does not deserve a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.
Luke Vargas @thecourier @TalkMediaNews It seems to be a big milestone between Russia & China with their joint military exercises.
