I was hired to help mobilize workers for a national strike. We would talk about their lives, their struggles, fairness and dignity. We talked about their unfulfilled dreams, their anger about the fact that their CEOs were millionaires and billionaires while they lived in poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Huge. My first political job was organizing fast food workers as part of the @fightfor15. Politicians in both parties and the media called us totally insane through 2016. But this is yet another example of progressives winning the war of ideas in the Democratic Party. — PolitiTweet.org

”Racism’s function in American politics has been in part to serve as a kind of scam. The Jim Crow South had the lowest living standards for white people of any American region alongside the even lower standards for African Americans.” -@mattyglesias https://t.co/w9JoanZG9a — PolitiTweet.org

“The left will have to challenge its orthodoxy that defines racism as something that wholly benefits whites and solely victimizes people of color...racism helped create the white middle class. Since the Reagan era, racism has helped destroy it.” -@hmcghee https://t.co/gPNryYwN04 — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

I wish there were more Democrats willing and able to articulate why racism is harmful to white people. Most of what I see in our political culture is white liberals trying to “out-woke” each other, moderates pivoting away from the issue, and right-wing race-baiting. — PolitiTweet.org

“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a white has no superiority over black nor a black over a white except by piety and good action.” -The Last Sermon of Muhammad, 630 AD — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats need to connect Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and corruption with his attacks on people of color, Muslims, and immigrants. Divide and conquer is an old playbook in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

Trump’s strategy: “The Democrats,” Steve Bannon said, "the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.” — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

Doesn’t really seem like the right moment to use Trump’s attacks on @IlhanMN to go after Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, but you do you. — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

The only reason he continues to be President is because corporate America and the Republican Party in Congress prefers tax cuts for their billionaire donors over human decency and the basic tenets of democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

Trump’s race war feeds his class war. Hatred, fear, and division to fuel a corrupt billionaire’s greed. Trump wants to hoard more wealth and power for those on top and defend every hierarchy in this country from movements for change. — PolitiTweet.org
