Beyoncé: I am not here as a celebrity. I'm not here as a politician. I'm here as a mother. A mother who cares about the world our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided

Barack Obama has the unique ability to both calm us about our state of affairs and convince us we need to act - the balance to inspire without making us feel overwhelmed by the sheer scope of it all. He reminds us who we are as humans and how much we can (and will) do together.

#Kristalnacht was 85 yrs ago. Jewish ppl are attacked in the US because they are Jewish. Jewish shop owners are being targeted because they are Jewish. Loving #civilrights means denouncing #antisemitism. #NoMoreHate @civilrightsorg https://t.co/znnwqjmJnR
BREAKING: Luanne Peterpaul just won her race to New Jersey’s AD-11, becoming the first openly LGBTQ+ woman ever elected to the state Assembly!!
She spent her career standing up to bullies and will be a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. Congrats Luanne & @TeamMonmouth!
Ohio Sen. @SherrodBrown (D) on @Lawrence now: "My three opponents, there are 3 Republicans running for the Senate seat… All of them have said they want a national abortion ban... We’ve gotta make sure that doesn’t happen. And that’s really my mission for the next 12 months."
In another kick in the jewels for the former president*, Yusef Salaam, of the Central Park 5, wins a NYC council seat. Donnie wanted him executed once.
Psaki: I would love to know what passage in the bible told Johnson to become one of the most important architects behind trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election. Which passage? Was it god whispering in his ear to ignore the constitution and disenfranchise millions of voters?
@Kelseyplum10 We all saw the big picture: two great teams on the biggest stage. The only detractor in this moment was your personal shots at the other team instead of just celebrating your win. As a NYL fan the disrespect bothers me way more than the loss. Congrats on your historic win! 🙏
@Kelseyplum10 Yeah I can see how saying "they are not a team" and "they don't care about each other" came up naturally while you were talking about your own team....
