Both my mom and grandmother fought for civil & human rights. Can’t believe I’m fighting the same fight - same issues - 70 years later.

The people who support $12B in corporate welfare to farms and forgave $80B in auto bailouts and forgave $700B in bank bailouts and forgave $755B in PPP loans want you to know that forgiving medical debt and student debt is socialism😐

Today, we honor the lives lost and the courage of the first responders who were impacted on September 11, 2001.
We remember not only the tragedy of that day, but the deep scars it left on families, communities, and our nation.

Hats off to @robertgarcia.bsky.social and @oversightdemocrats.house.gov for forcing publication of this Epstein material over the objections of the Speaker, the vast majority of the Republican majority, the White House, and the President — despite being in the minority. Well done

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his historic I Have A Dream speech at the March on Washington 62 years ago today.
Today and every day, we honor him and all those who demanded an end to racial segregation when they marched all those years ago. Our fight is far from over and we're not slowing down.

The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC.
All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC.
This was never about "fighting crime."

LET’s! Because Trump & his circle have insulted & disparaged brilliant & substantively credentialed Black people as incompetent, while elevating the most mediocre, unremarkable & unintelligent white men.
Let's focus on qualifications: Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no distinction. Dissertation: No focus on labor or data collection. Zero publications. One lifetime citation (by a former colleague).
This record would not earn you a job as junior economist at BLS.

Trump's nominee for BLS commissioner, EJ Antoni, is disastrously terrible. He's a 1200%, 1300% maybe 1400% in-the-tank Trumper, with few credentials beyond a history of misrepresenting or misunderstanding economic statistics. He has shown no commitment to truth

Dems should fight on every front.
If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.
We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.
Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

The American people need to raise holy hell and not stop until the full Epstein files are released and EVERY person implicated in them is brought to justice, despite their party or position.
We're either a nation of human decency or we're not.
This should be a nonpartisan demand.

We forced—and passed—the vote anyway.

The girls they raped have been threatened, silenced, ignored, disrespected and forced to watch one of their abusers go on to become President, twice, even with multiple felony convictions to his name, and an insurrection under his belt.
It’s time for women to take a stand and fuck up the patriarchy.

A classic sign of authoritarianism is destroying the independent press.
Trump just defunded PBS. He’s threatening to sue WSJ for linking him to Epstein. Colbert was fired after correctly noting CBS had bribed Trump.
Let’s support independent media against this fascist assault.
