Sending all my love to the families of Angela Michelle Carr, Anolt Joseph Laguerre Jr. and Jerrald De’Shaun Gallion—families who never wanted their loved ones to be on the latest page of racist White terror in a state that has banned that history book. 1/2https://t.co/cZuWG8BKVZ

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on…
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
