I’m thankful for @SenatorAgard & @Rep_Jimmy for stepping up to the plate and putting forth legislation to protect our 1st amendment rights here in Wisconsin.
Exec Dir @NicholasMRamos: Wis is 1 of just 19 states that has not passed anti-SLAPP protections. A bipartisan bill is possible. The chilling effect of SLAPP suits is undeniable. We must safeguard free speech protections of journalists and citizens alike. bit.ly/No_More_Slapps_in_Wis

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.
That amount of capital is only possible through exploitation: of the people, of the system, and of the environment.
Tax them out of existence.
No one was gonna tell me it’s #GroundhogDay?

Guaranteeing 7 paid sick days to rail workers would cost the rail industry a grand total of $321 million a year – less than 2% of its profits. Please don't tell me the rail industry can't afford it. Rail companies spent $25.5 billion on stock buybacks and dividends this year.

Yet again a Republican Governor is using vulnerable migrants to play political games. The lack of humanity is as stunning as it is expected.
But I know Philadelphia will step up, because that’s who we are.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.
