Aunt Christine (Dr. #ChristineKingFarris) passed two years ago today. She was an amazing woman...a leader of leaders and an exemplary educator. I truly miss her. 🖤

Women’s History Month is a chance to honor the women who have helped pave the way to a brighter future. This month we’ll be shining a light on #ObamaLeaders in our network who are blazing new trails, creating lasting change, and supporting women around the world.

60 years ago, a group of brave civil rights organizers marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in the pursuit of justice and equality. Today we’re reminded of their courageous sacrifices, and tasked with the responsibility of doing what we can to carry forward their work.

#OnThisDay in 1965, 600 marchers were attacked on #Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge during a Voting Rights protest. Known as #BloodySunday, this march was one of 3 from Selma to Montgomery. More: https://t.co/OIqWpgi0OS #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory

[City of Atlanta, GA @CityofAtlanta]

Mayor Andre Dickens released the following statement:

Like cities and municipalities across the nation, the City of Atlanta received no warning from the Trump Administration on the freezing of federal funds. These actions adversely affect not only the City’s funding for affordable housing, assistance for our unsheltered residents, economic development projects, salaries and investments in our infrastructure and public safety—they also affect partner agencies like Atlanta Housing, Partners for HOME and other organizations who currently cannot access the portals they use to pay people’s rents, operational costs or fund economic programs; in turn placing an even heavier burden on the communities we collectively serve.

More than 18,000 residents who rely on housing vouchers currently do not know how their rent will be paid next month, and workers across various federally funded programs risk losing their pay. The Dickens Administration calls on all White House decision makers to immediately restore this funding for Atlanta and the entire region—and the families from all stations of life who will suffer the consequences.

Today, I'm commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses.

This is an important step toward righting historic wrongs and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their communities after far too much time behind bars.

Maryland could not be more proud of our newly sworn-in Senator, Angela Alsobrooks!

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

For the first time in our nation’s history, two Black women are serving in the Senate at the same time — Senators Angela Alsobrooks and Lisa Blunt Rochester.

It was my honor to swear in these history makers to the 119th Congress today.

Looking forward to delivering for Marylanders and the American people alongside my fellow freshmen!

I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.”

I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people.

So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as billionaire Mark Cuban and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman join forces and unite over 100 venture capitalists to back Kamala Harris for president.

And it gets even better...

"We spend our days looking for, investing in and supporting entrepreneurs who are building the future," reads the "VCs for Kamala" website. "We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress."

"We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation," the site goes on. "We believe that strong, trustworthy institutions are a feature, not a bug, and that our industry — and every other industry — would collapse without them."

"That is what’s at stake in this election. Everything else, we can solve through constructive dialogue with political leaders and institutions willing to talk to us. In this pivotal moment, we are united in our support for Vice President Kamala Harris," it reads.

The announcement is a powerful rebuke to far-right Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk who have thrown their support behind Donald Trump's fascist movement in the hopes of more tax cuts.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Mark Cuban and his allies for supporting Kamala — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

It is with profound sadness that we share our condolences for the passing of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX).

As we send our thoughts and prayers to her family, may her spirit of resilience and dedication to public service be forever remembered and cherished.
