Justin Duckham @Jduckham @TalkMediaNews Desantis used some very troubling language, incl saying Gillum speaks so well, which is a dog whistle.
Andrew Schwartz, @schwartzandrewp policy analyst of Economic Policy at the Center for @amprog @CAPeconomy Elizabeth Warren said the markets are set up for corporations to do well, not for workers to do well.
Denisha Jones, @denisha_jones @BadassTeachersA Board of Directors Teachers want less standardized testing. Education seems to be about data points now. We want teachers to do what they were trained to do: teach.

@AndrewYangVFA To me, Trump's election demonstrates a real desire for change. @venture4america #UBI #FreedomDividend
Mike Olseker @talkmedianews Trump's job was to express his feelings as the leader of a nation, and once again, he failed miserably.
@C_Stroop The best we can hope for is to expose how authoritarian, anti-democratic white evangelicals are. #churchtoo #empythepews #EvangelicalContributions

Chris Stroop @C_Stroop We need to expose white evangelicals & explain why they're threats. They'll undermine democracy and the rule of law. It's past time to take them seriously. #churchtoo #empythepews #EvangelicalContributions
