We know racism exists in Mexico, we know the lighter your skin, better treatment you’ll get. But being murdered like George Floyd by our own police? Outrageous!! #justiciaparavictoria

Republicans could trip over their own shoelaces and they’d still find a way to blame me, immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, the Green New Deal, BLM, anything but accept responsibility for their own actions and dealings.

Ineptitude, bigotry, and corruption. Disasters in their own right.

Van Jones was emotional talking about Joe Biden becoming the next President of the United States

[Katie Hobbs @katiehobbs]

My office has been putting out information for months about how election processes work in the state & all we do to ensure security & fairness. If you haven’t been paying attention, that’s on you, but don’t show up when you don’t like the result & scream fraud w/no evidence.
