"we can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist"

This is why when those two guys on that podcast tried to talk down on Rep Crockett a lot of us got heated.. she is fighting for ALL of us when we need it now more then ever.
We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.
It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.
This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.
@RoryTwoAll@thejordanelyse I don’t see how people can compare not being able to properly bathe or flush toilets with any of the other accommodations they’ve had. This takes the cake
FBI headquarters is named after J. Edgar Hoover, who used State power to destroy MLK’s reputation, undermine his movement, and encourage him to kill himself. If you value “fairness and justice,” denounce Hoover’s legacy, rename the building, and exonerate everyone you railroaded.
I dislike when people say "I know her, I went to school with her,” We graduated almost 10 years ago & you knew me as a teenager. I'm sure you can't even recall the last time you had a conversation with me.

🔥 JUST NOW — Rep. @Ilhan lights up complicit Republicans: “Those of us who escaped places like that, the one place we thought we would never experience this is the united Goddamn states… I am ashamed. And we must do all we can to bring back the 🇺🇸 we all escaped into.
So I know this is hard to believe but actually it really did used to hold a lot of academic merit when we had to perform true research and had critical thinking skills
On January 15, 1908, nine visionary women at Howard University established a sisterhood that has changed the lives of countless women — including me. And for 118 years, we have continued to lead around the world, with purpose and in service to all mankind. Happy Founders Day!
Happy birthday, Daddy. Thank you for being a bold purveyor of true peace. Thank you for living with purpose and for radically lifting the power of love. Thank you for believing that we can defeat injustice without destroying each other. Thank you for your courage and strategic, compassionate action. Thank you for teaching me so much, even now. I remember you today, on your 97th birthday. I remember you always.
