The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Tamika Palmer says she can finally breathe after four years of seeking justice for her daughter, Breonna Taylor. With a guilty verdict for former LMPD detective Brett Hankison on civil rights charges, Palmer feels a “new-found purpose" We are so sorry it took so long, Bre. 🙏🏿

@chrisharris101 Exactly right Chris! The only anguish felt is for the cop to be held accountable for taking the lives of two people unjustly. It’s unfortunate that STILL only certain lives matter to some

Kamala Harris has released the first video of her presidential campaign, featuring Beyoncé's song, "Freedom":

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

On May 31, 1921, a white supremacist mob attacked a thriving business district known as Black Wall Street. Hundreds of residents in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa were killed as Black homes, businesses, and churches were burned to the ground.

103 years later, this history must be taught and remembered. I am grateful for Mother Fletcher, the oldest known survivor, for continuing to underscore the horrors of what happened in Tulsa.

Together, we must fight extremists’ attempts to ban books and rewrite our past. Moving toward progress, justice, and opportunity for all requires that we speak the truth.

Melissa Lucio was coerced into a confession after hours of aggressive interrogation. Then prosecutors failed to share information that pointed to her innocence.

An injustice to one of us is an injustice to us all! We have to be in solidarity or we stand no chance at creating change. There is no infraction too big or small to be addressed. All are moments to teach and grow.
