THIS IS MY WHY. Why I fight. Why I never back down. Why my heart beats. Why I RESIST. Why I stand against hate. I will give ALL I have and ALL I am for these babies & ALL who are treated with hate. OUR VOICES & ACTIONS make a difference. #BeTheChange#WhitePeopleAgainstRacism
@tedcruz Tragically, Cruz has a lot of expertise running to Cancun while allowing his constituents to freeze and die…. You might just want to shut your mouth already.
There's a local story in FL about a cop called Zachary Wester, who for several years planted meth in the cars of people he'd pull over in traffic stops.
@jeffberlew is covering the story and it's truly paranoia-inducing.
I just spoke with a very upset Officer Michael Fanone. It’s #PoliceWeek and for weeks Ofc. Fanone has made multiple requests to talk to @GOPLeader. He wants to show McCarthy what he experienced on 1/6. Today he was hung up on by McCarthy’s staff. RT if Kevin should meet a hero.
The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009.
For tipped workers, it’s been $2.13 for 30 years.
The problem is NOT expanded unemployment assistance.
There is no form of protest against racism that will be acceptable to racists.
There is no method for teaching the past and present harm of racism and white supremacy that will be palatable to people who are comfortable with where we are and with being benefactors of oppression.
After crap GOP doing to @RepLizCheney, I don’t wanna hear any Trumper whining about “being canceled”. They should call it, “being Cheney-ed”.
How can these eunuchs live w/themselves knowing they’re betraying a colleague for refusing to repeat the cult lie?

Today, someone said to me, "If Ma’khia Bryant wanted to be alive right now, she'd not have swung a knife."
Actually, if she wanted to guarantee she'd be alive right now, she'd have carried a still-smoldering AR-15 and been white, but...
The Right doesn't just immediately blame a 16-year old for her death at the hands of police, they do it with malice, they do it with perverted joy, they do it with a strident arrogance that shows that they really simply don't give a damn about people of color.
Some people saw the video of a man being murdered and are pissed off at a guilty verdict. They are being very loud about it right now. Remember them. You don’t have to be friends with them anymore. You don’t have to go to their stupid fucking wedding or help them move. They suck
Don’t you dare say 16 year old Ma’Khia was shot to death by police because she had a knife!
Kyle Rittenhouse had AR-15 style rife and walked around police after actually killing two people!
He wasn’t shot. WHY WAS SHE?!
Message to my fellow white people
Don't tell anyone what to do or not do this evening. Don't say you understand. Don't say what's best or isn't best for communities. Just be an ally, and not just for today. That's it.
Dear white ppl: Stop lecturing us on the proper way to react to racism & police terrorism. That’s exactly what Dr King discussed in his Letter From A Birmingham Jail. You did it with Kaepernick, John Carlos & Tommie Smith, Ali & now #MaxineWaters That’s not how any of this works
