I sincerely hope that every time the hurricane names circle back to S, someone in the World Meteorological Organization suggests naming it Hurricane Schmurricane
@NotOccupying Seriously. My cat has PTSD from them I swear. They start earlier and end later every year. That was the weirdest set of fireworks I've ever heard...
New: Here’s a breakdown of the 17 executive actions President Biden will sign this afternoon in the Oval. Many directly undo Trump's touted accomplishments. @cbsnews
Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
What we witnessed yesterday was not dissent — it was disorder.
They weren’t protestors — they were rioters, insurrectionists, and domestic terrorists.
I wish we could say we couldn’t see it coming, but that isn’t true. We could.
Every single Black person, every single brown person, every single queer person I know was worried about THIS in 2016.
Most of us were called crazy or hysterical.
I've been sitting here trying to figure out how to best describe my thoughts of what's been going on right now. The passiveness of the police, the irony of signs/flags, the ignorance and privilege of these people..
Disgusted, Embarrassed, Baffled.. yet not surprised.
Trying to find the right words for today is really hard. I’m disgusted and scared, but no longer surprised.
We protested for our lives and were faced with brutality. These “protestors” walked straight into the Capitol with no push back.
White privilege is real.
trump just said “we love you, you are very special” to these TERRORISTS.
he said “when the looting starts the shooting starts” during the black lives matters protests.
SEND HIM TO PRISON NOW
On behalf of America @jack and @twitter you need to pull the chord on him now. He can't have this platform anymore. Don't be complicit in the violence he is instigating. Anyone out there want to co-sign?
nazis storming the capitol and the police are just asking them to stop calmly. when people asked for basic human rights they were shot with rubber bullets, tear gassed and run over by the police. remember that. remember it forever.
