Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.
Representatives for Aretha Franklin confirm her death from advanced pancreatic cancer.

BREAKING: Chairman Grassley has unilaterally ruled 1/3 of the #Kavanaugh records to be “Committee Confidential” meaning anyone not on Judiciary Committee cannot see them. That’s 79 Senators & the entire American public. It’s an unprecedented level of secrecy. #WhatAreTheyHiding?

A president is not a king. Kavanaugh believes that a president should be above the law and immune from prosecutions and investigations. This is why we MUST #StopKavanaugh.

#AmbulatoryWheelchairUsersExist
Some wheelchair users can walk.
I need my wheelchair for anything longer than a minute or so, my ability to walk is on a timer with/without my cane.
I use a wheelchair for symptoms of #EDS; chronic pain, injury prevention/aid, & dysautonomia.
My prayers are with Aretha Franklin & her family during this difficult time 🙏🏾 LOOK BELOW @ what I tweeted at the top of the year we MUST CELEBRATE the Living Legends while they are here to see it. So many have given us decades of Timeless music...❤️
Brett Kavanaugh told the Senate in 2006 he had no KNOWLEDGE of torture or wiretapping.
Reporting and emails released through FOIA has cast serious doubt on those answers.
Kavanaugh's records would show whether he told truth, but Republicans are blocking their release.

Obama/Bush/Clinton/ etc. would have already visited California, toured as near disaster as feasible. Press conference in Sacramento w governor. National attention to those who have lost homes, etc etc etc. Trump might as well borrow Melania's "I dont care Do U?" jacket
Let's all stop pretending that the GOP was ever more than they are now: greedy, racist, misogynistic pigs who care ONLY for the 1% and shit on the poor and Middle Class.
trump just removed the slick veneer from their greasy facade. They've fallen greatly from days of Lincoln.
it isn’t just getting old. it’s getting clarity enough to think: holy fuck. when i die: what will i have done with the short time i had here? i am becoming less & less attracted to not telling the whole truth. and i’m a woman. and donald trump is the president. fuck it. seriously
When Trump criticizes "all types of racism" he's using false equivalence to wink at those who peddle in the distortions of white grievance. It makes a mockery of our history and our present. It's not calming and unifying. it's provocative and divisive. And it's intentional.
Today we honor the memory of Heather Heyer, whose spirit we see in every person who stands up to reject hatred and bigotry. Make no mistake: this fight goes on. The battle for the soul of this nation rests with each of us, everyday.
A few dozen nazis showed up in DC today. That’s it. Pathetic. They were too cowardly to even expose their faces. Because The Resistance has had enough. We won’t be silenced. We will shame you. And we’ll never let @realDonaldTrump forget. Her name was Heather Heyer. Period. 🇺🇸
