In that Inspire Change commercial, the NFL forgot to show the part where they blackballed Colin Kaepernick, have only 3 black NFL head coaches and no majority black ownership.

#CancelStudentDebt

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

The last thing people should be worried about is their student loan debt.

In Minnesota, there are 750,000+ student loan borrowers and each owe $34,932 on average.

I promise I won’t stop fighting until we have cancelled student debt for everyone in America.

Early this morning I was proud to watch VP Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to push forward necessary aid to help get us through this pandemic.

This never would have been possible without the people of Georgia. This is what democracy looks like.

Congratulations to my friend, President @JoeBiden! This is your time.

[Mervit Sam @MervitSam]

@Paul_Brown_Bear Wow.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

U.S. Capitol security failures need to be fully investigated.

We spend billions of dollars on national security and today failed to protect our Nation’s Capital from a lawless mob.

Unacceptable!

[Linda Sarsour @lsarsour]

There’s no way for these white folks to get to this place without the complicity of police and other law enforcement. Trust me, I know the Capitol grounds well - there’s no way.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Keep the faith, guys. We’re gonna win this.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

The hearings this week have done nothing to alleviate the concerns raised about why this nominee was chosen and why this process is being rushed.

My Republican colleagues are doing great harm with this illegitimate process, and great damage to the people and the Supreme Court.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The Republican Party is engaging in massive voter suppression. They know that if people vote in large numbers they will not only lose this election, but we will move toward a government which represents all of us, not just the few. Stand up to voter suppression. VOTE!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Nobody should have to wait 11 hours to vote, but we’re all grateful that you—and all those in line with you—stuck it out. Keep making your voices heard, everybody. Our democracy depends on it.

[Mervit Sam @MervitSam]

Love @lsarsour

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

I couldn't agree more. I am so sick and tired of folks going after @lsarsour and other Palestinian activists for speaking the truth about oppression and injustice. You don't get it yet. We don't stop until everyone is free. We will always outwork the hate.

[Ady Barkan @AdyBarkan]

Just now seeing that the Biden campaign issued a vile and dishonest statement against my beloved sister @lsarsour.

Linda is a fierce advocate for justice and freedom, and a leading antiracist and organizer against antisemitism.

The Biden campaign must retract and apologize.

The Georgia high school that became infamous for hallways crowded with unmasked students will temporarily go online after six students and three staffers tested positive COVID-19.

The district said it needs time to disinfect the school. https://t.co/nHK3O3rJAh

I had to keep breathing. Episode #1 nearly broke my heart, however I’ll keep watching. This is essential viewing for EVERY American! As essential to your understanding of America as was, ROOTS! #bydhttmwfi

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today reminds us that progress might be slow. It might take decades. But no matter what things might look like today, it’s always possible. Happy Pride month, everybody.
