In 2016 & ‘17, I paid thousands of dollars a year in taxes *as a bartender.*
Trump paid $750.
He contributed less to funding our communities than waitresses & undocumented immigrants.
Donald Trump has never cared for our country more than he cares for himself. A walking scam.
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.
Every day that Breonna Taylor's killers walk free, it becomes more and more apparent that cops can walk into your home, kill you, and get away with it.

59 years ago today I was released from Parchman Farm Penitentiary after being arrested in Jackson, MS for using a so-called "white" restroom during the Freedom Rides of 1961.
I’ll just say it: a lot of politicians are scared of the political power of the police,and that’s why changes to hold them accountable for flagrant killings don’t happen. That in itself is a scary problem.

I need to learn how to sew pockets. Thinking of using my husband’s pant pockets as a template since they’re actually functional. Why the fuck don’t women get pockets that can hold more than a dime?
Food workers.
Grocery clerks.
Cashiers.
Delivery drivers.
Warehouse stockers.
They were never “unskilled workers.”
They were always essential.
And it’s WAY past time they got the respect they deserve w/ a living wage, paid sick leave, guaranteed healthcare, hazard pay, & more.
This is not merely the latest @AOC Viral Clip, nor would I think she'd want it to be. It is a clarion call. The Midwest is flooding right now, as is Mozambique. Climate change is ending American lives right now, and many more all around the world. Wake up.
