Note the bust of Cesar Chavez behind the resolute desk. Whose granddaughter now works for the 46th President of the United States, @JulieR2019. That’s pretty remarkable stuff. And I’d imagine something he’d never imagined in his wildest dreams.

Let's just sit with this for a moment and what it means.
Tomorrow, Kamala Devi Harris will be the first woman sworn in as vice president of the United States.
So incredibly proud of my talented friend @AReneeJ, take a moment to read this article on @Apple’s efforts towards racial equity & justice! #BeTheChange 👏🏽🍎 https://t.co/dATZ7KVqLp via @bustle
.@paoramos: The beauty & power of yesterday is that when #KamalaHarris takes office she is bringing a story, an identity, that has the power to change power as we know it. When we can finally center people of color & immigrants at the center of power that can be incredible #AMJoy
A century ago this August, white women in the US won the right to vote - an important step but an insufficient one. This year, @KamalaHarris won the vice presidency. That’s 100 years of marching, protesting, organizing, and breaking down barriers that once seemed insurmountable.
I’m sick of ppl trying to cast Latinos as the reason Biden lost FL + TX:
✅FL + TX aren’t the only Latinos in America
✅In both states white swing voters swung back to Trump
✅HISTORIC WIN IN ARIZONA
✅Latinos in MI + WI helped put Biden over top
What we're seeing from Trump and his allies today is an autocratic attempt. It's not a competent one, and it probably won't be an effective one. But that's what it is. And far worse would follow if it succeeded. https://t.co/t66o0mTPuK
I'm just going to keep repeating this: the only reason we're still waiting on PA is because GOP legislature refused to allow election officials to count mail ballots before Election Day. And then they weaponized delay they created to undermine legitimacy of election
I’ll never forget the comfort that @JoeBiden brought Corey after he lost his dad in the Parkland shooting. This powerful new ad from @Your_Americans illustrates Joe’s character. He has the compassion and leadership to bring this country together.
