I haven't got patience left for empty promises or Democrats who won't fight for us.

I fought all my life for my family , for all of my neighbors, for People of Color, for First People, for people to love whom they chose, for people with disabilities, for people to worship whomever they chose, for the health and future of the entire planet.

I have paid many a price for this and consider it justice performed in good faith.

it's well past time for All Democrats to work as hard as I have and get the justice we All deserve. DAMN WELL!
