They told us Natives to go back to where we came from. So we did. And we were arrested for trespassing.

Why didn't Republicans build the wall when they had total control of government for two years?
House Democrats do nothing on the border for 7 months, but are going to spend the entirety of today fighting for Speaker Pelosi’s ability to break House rules and call the President a racist on the floor. This is your Democrat majority.

The President’s tweets were racist, xenophobic, deeply offensive to many Americans, & have no place in the dialogue of the world’s greatest democracy. Many Americans yearn for the day when we stop fighting each other & realize that diversity is our promise—not our problem.

If you’re a Republican, please ask yourself if the party really represents your principles and values. You don’t need to become a Democrat. Simply stand up for what is right. America’s tradition of liberty is beautiful, and it depends on our love and respect for one another.

I have covered fascist rallies and Trump rallies. This Trump rally was a fascist rally.

This is not going to end well. Donald Trump is making clear he will burn American democracy down to help win in 2020. We cannot stand for this.
Though he's known to go off script, President Trump read from the teleprompter as he lashed out at the four Democratic congresswomen he's been in a brawl with for four days. White House officials had been saying all day that tonight would be one of his most fiery rallies to date.

Trump, the president of the United States, tells supporters at his rally he can stay all night because he has "nothing to do."

You don't have to agree with everything (or anything) naturalized US citizen Rep. Ilhan Omar says to stand with her tonight. I hope you will RETWEET this if, like me, your response to the vile chants of "Send her back!" at Trump's hateful North Carolina rally is #IStandWithIlhan.

For hundreds of years rich people have used racism and xenophobia to convince poor people that rich people are not the problem.

Our Nation is at an historic crossroads—whether we will be a divided, racist, & bigoted society as espoused by @realDonaldTrump & the Trump Party, or a country that prides itself on diversity, inclusion, & freedom of expression. Our future & domestic tranquility are at stake.
