I wish Trump would treat elections the same way he treats debates. He loses one and then he quits. #TrumpIsACoward

An innocent woman is scheduled to be executed in #Texas on April 27 based on false evidence and a coerced confession. Five jury members say Melissa Lucio's conviction was wrong. Republicans and Democrats are uniting to ask @GovAbbott to act. innocenceproject.org/petitio…

When we first heard about this happening in Italy it was horrifying. We can't let Trump make it seem normal when it happens in state after state in America. #TrumpDeathPanels thedailyedge.substack.com/p/…
