A 12-week abortion ban in NC is not about life. If extremists who claim to be Republicans were serious about life, they would pass healthcare, living wages, family leave and fully-funded public education. Please, just stop lying.

We are at a critical point in our country’s history. If you do not understand the complexities and promise of our past, you cannot imagine a better future. We either invest in the humanities, including history and civics, or we forfeit our democracy. https://t.co/kMzhDRpj7x

@TuckerCarlson says that 3 white men -"Trump guys" severely beating up one "Antifa kid" is "not how white men fight." It's not? Really? Umm, that's debatable.

When fascist ideals threaten to drown out democracy, we must fight back. Voices like State Rep. Justin Pearson are exactly what America needs in this moment.

@SpeakerPelosi Correction @SpeaketPelosi, trials are not to prove innocence. They are to prove guilt. I'm confident his guilt will be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and he'll finally be held accountable.

Racist @RonDeSantisFL wants to control Black people by banning the truth. An old playbook. #resist Who’s Afraid of Black History? https://t.co/D4Z4cWM2pj

@nyknicks don't suck anymore. They're only 3 games over. 500 and 7th in the Eastern Conference, but they don't suck anymore. They ain't gonna do shit in the playoffs, but they don't suck anymore. They play hard, play defense, and play together. I like this team. Go Knicks!

Hey everyone! I made this for you. Print it. Post it. Share it…

@ewarren @ewarren right on point, as usual. She's been calling out the corruption in our political system for years now. Hope she runs again in 2024.

@andrewcuomo @andrewcuomo knows better. DOJ should not comment on an ongoing investigation. DOJ obtained the warrant only after convincing a federal judge that there was probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime would be found at the location.

[Legal Defense Fund @NAACP_LDF]

Progress toward racial justice has historically been met with swift, virulent backlash. The Orwellian efforts to ban books and censor conversations about race are just the latest example of how the law has been used to suppress Black history and voices.

It’s disingenuous for Republicans to claim to be tough on crime.

If you’re soft on guns, you’re soft on violent crime. Period.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Twelve years ago today, the Supreme Court hung a big “For Sale” sign on our democracy with Citizens United. We need to overturn their disastrous ruling, get big money out of politics, and root corruption out of Washington so we can put power in the hands of the people.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

One year ago, a violent attack on our Capitol made it clear just how fragile the American experiment in democracy really is. Here’s my statement on what the anniversary means, and what we need to do today.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Ah yes, the right wing: forcing people to give birth against their will while advancing policies that made the US have the highest maternal mortality in the developed world.

Then for after birth, they work to stop paid leave policy👍🏽

No wonder they need voter suppression to win

[Charles King @CharlesKing3rd]

Good riddance @realDonaldTrump . Get to steppin '

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

In the end, I think Trump will end up in history in the same category as Andrew Johnson: the only other president to be impeached and only serve one term. Extremely fitting.

If you haven’t yet, do your brain and heart a favor by reading this important book by @Isabelwilkerson. I’ve been thinking about it a lot these last couple days.
