On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC.
They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth
I just landed at DCA for the first time since the midair collision and it’s a bit emotional for me. I thank God that we landed safely & truly & sincerely my heart aches for the lives that were lost & their families.
Please begin to blow up all members of Congress phones demanding real hearings & thoughtful legislation.
It’s the first day of Black History Month… it only feels appropriate to exasperate member offices with facts about DEI & request that they not remain silent as the Incompetent Inhumane imbecile blames everything bad on DEI…
If he’s gonna bring chaos to our lives.. the people elected to be your voices, not his flunkies, should hear from you.
Happy Black History Month!
America is facing a SUPER villain, but we are the heroes of our own story.
With resilience, grace, & unapologetic power, we rise. No villain can dim our light—our magic is unstoppable. My story is Unleashing Black Girl Magic: The Superpower Within!
The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury is leaving after clashes with DOGE over access to sensitive payment systems that control Social Security benefits, tax refunds, and federal salaries.
Remember: This isn’t Trump’s second presidency. It’s Musk’s first.
If you think this is ok, something is wrong with you. Explain an unelected, unvetted, unconfirmed, individual who hasn’t been subjected to the same security clearances or higher as these civil servants has the authority to do this?!
This feels as if we are being attacked from within, FULL FUCKING STOP!
In a minute, I think they are going to continuously ignore court orders that are granted against them. You see what happens, America, when you put a conman convicted felon into the White House… HE DOES NOT ABIDE BY THE LAW.
It feels like y’all literally told the robber to come on in and rob us blind. 😡
Courage is not where you stand in times of comfort, but where you stand in times of discomfort… I’m ready to see some Republicans find their spines! We have to do what’s right, TOGETHER!
Congrats to our new DNC chair, Ken Martin. Ken has done outstanding work in Minnesota, and will bring that same energy and drive to this new role. Together, we need to build a bold, responsive Democratic Party that can tell a compelling story about who we’re fighting for and where we need to go as a country. I am grateful to all who are stepping up to engage. Lots of work ahead!
We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history.
I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are not only upset about what’s happening, but are wondering how we best go forward.
Here are my thoughts:
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
This is how you know Trump has only attended churches where they try to co-opt Christianity! He got slapped with some basic teachings of Christianity & didn’t know how to take it.
I don’t know this servant of God… but I know that she has a relationship with the True Word… which teaches love, compassion, & mercy.
Just like he didn’t take his oath on the Bible… I’m doubtful he’s ever even bothered to open one of his grifter bibles.
