Carter resolved complex trade issues with Japan by having a commission of 6 diplomats appointed by both nations. They made unanimous recs. Instead of a new Cold War with China, Carter asks can we not have diplomacy to solve common problems like climate change & global poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

Carter asks what should it mean to be a superpower. Would it not be an America that everyone in the world seeks to emulate and learn from when it comes to peace, to justice, to concern for our environment, to racial harmony, and to human rights? — PolitiTweet.org

President Carter asks congregants: How many of you think if you do one good thing in the next month for one person, and if every American does that, that we would have a better nation? Heads nod. That’s the type of ethical leadership our nation is missing. — PolitiTweet.org

A debate on climate change would allow Democrats to articulate to voters how we will solve this existential crisis that threatens our entire way of life. The DNC should host a climate change debate. https://t.co/EbHiZ9Vxo9 — PolitiTweet.org

Seated in the pews of Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia with ⁦@BLeeForCongress⁩, waiting for President Carter’s first Sunday school lecture since his recovery from the hip surgery. We left Atlanta early this morning, listening to the loud thunder during the drive. https://t.co/5SlHYUuR9u — PolitiTweet.org

Even with all the progress we’ve made on LGBTQ+ rights, there is still much work left to be done. Together we are going to make workplace discrimination illegal. #PrideMonth https://t.co/DWeaJvk3eW — PolitiTweet.org

Colorado and Maine have become the latest states to ban conversion therapy. Nobody in this country should have to go through this horrible, traumatizing experience. We must ban conversion therapy nationwide to protect LGBTQ youth. https://t.co/vQkJq6oXa4 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s no surprise that teachers go on strike when: ➡️ Salaries are 4.5% lower than a decade ago after inflation ➡️ They earn 21% less than similarly educated and experienced professionals Under @BernieSanders' education plan, teachers would earn at least $60,000/year. — PolitiTweet.org

The cost of education, food, healthcare, housing, and transportation continue to rise, while millennials actually have a lower net worth than the same age group over 20 years ago. We need to build an economy that works for all, including young people and rural communities. https://t.co/LNvz7kHDuO — PolitiTweet.org

Rising hospital costs are one of the biggest problems. Medicare for All will reduce these costs and the absurd pay of many hospital CEOs. We also need tuition-free college, universal childcare and preschool given the soaring costs of those services. https://t.co/WnX0GlBSq6 — PolitiTweet.org

When Tom Sullivan’s son died in the Aurora shooting, he became a strong advocate for gun safety and successfully won a Colorado House seat in 2018. Republicans can try to recall him, but they won’t stop our movement to end gun violence in America. https://t.co/fbKGu0CqhC — PolitiTweet.org

Recent graduates shouldn’t have to rely on the generosity of their commencement speaker to start their adult lives debt-free. We need to fight for student debt relief and debt-free public college before this crisis gets any worse. https://t.co/3oVVhJb7iJ — PolitiTweet.org

Why is it that while working class Americans can be sent to jail for not being able to afford fines and court fees, some of the richest Americans are able to get away with tax evasion? https://t.co/1oxWsBHxP4 — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this year, the House passed #HR8, which would expand background checks and require them for every gun sale. Even though most Americans support, the Senate won’t even bring it up for a vote. I urge @senatemajldr to advance this legislation before more lives are lost. https://t.co/AkAdF0OSLa — PolitiTweet.org

“In the eyes of the people there is failure, and in the eyes of the hungry there is growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.” — PolitiTweet.org

The max a Californian, including vets, can get for food stamps is $192 a month. How can anyone get basic nutrition on this? Many will eat $2 meals at Denny’s in the morning, skip lunch, and get cheap, high salt food at night. How much have we evolved from Grapes of Wrath? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The same president who falsely said that Mexico would pay for the border wall now claims that his tariffs will hurt Mexico and China. Don't fall for economic nonsense: These tariffs will increase consumer prices and hurt working class Americans. https://t.co/v639jAj405 — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are sitting in local jails without being convicted of a crime because they can’t afford cash bail. Meanwhile, not one banker has been held accountable for the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s great news that 77,000 people in Nevada will now have their voting rights restored. Once someone convicted of a felony is out of jail, they should be able to participate in our democracy. https://t.co/hMK0FZEeJJ — PolitiTweet.org

Harvey Milk’s election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors made him one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. He was a trailblazer taken from us way too soon. We must continue fighting for an end to discrimination and hate. #PrideMonth https://t.co/WyzTOVwJbD — PolitiTweet.org
