The incident involving the Ocean City Police Dep. over the weekend is deeply disturbing. We must have zero tolerance for police misconduct. I strongly urge the Att. General to begin an immediate investigation. There must be swift and strong consequences for any and all misconduct
The video from this weekend in Ocean City is deeply disturbing. Vaping on the Boardwalk is not a criminal offense. Black and brown children should not be tased while their hands are up. Officers should not kneel on the back of a minor. Vaping should not yield a hog tie.

Normally, at this point in season 90% of America's corn crop is in the ground. But thanks to endless rain, it's 58% this year. For soybeans, 29% planted instead of the usual 66%. A hotter planet=more rain and more drought (and horribly stressed farmers) washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/0…

Donald Tritt, a Gwich'in leader w/ @OurArcticRefuge, traveled from Alaska to Texas to be at the #ExxonAGM today to ask @ExxonMobil to stay out of the Arctic Refuge. Exxon wouldn't even let him speak. Here's what he would have said. RT to #StandWithTheGwichin! #ProtectTheArctic

It’s disturbing and unacceptable that @Yale has begun formal disciplinary trials to punish us — on top of the police citations. Yale’s priorities are clear: Intimidating peaceful protesters, but refusing to end unethical investments. bit.ly/2GPIP0I

Taxing the rich is extremely popular: @AOC’s proposal for a 70 percent top rate polls well, and Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax polls even better with a crushing 60-21 victory that includes majority support from Republicans vox.com/2019/2/4/18210…
The age of #GDP is now over. It belongs to the time of linear economic growth. Genuine Progress @GPIndicator is the way to go.
