On this day in 1883, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld the criminalization of sex between persons of different races and outlawed interracial marriage. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice https://t.co/pBRNNImIDk
#RemainInMexico makes it difficult for families fleeing persecution to access attorneys, file necessary paperwork in a timely manner, and secure evidence. @shepherd_kt shares more on the @AILANational blog. #RestoreAsylumNow https://t.co/ri3Tax6KF4
#RemainInMexico makes it difficult, if not impossible, for #asylumseekers to find lawyers and have a #FairDayInCourt. That’s why I am calling on Congress to allow public access to the port courts and to halt the program. #RestoreAsylumNow https://t.co/PF7odkfyDW
Let’s remember: Trump has been impeached & Netanyahu was indicted. Releasing a plan without negotiating with Palestinians isn't diplomacy, it's a planned distraction.
I reject this pro annexation plan, it is a step in the wrong direction.#PeaceSham
I just left the Senate floor after a fact-free summation dripping with innuendo & insinuation, but utterly devoid of evidence. If my colleagues put on blinders, they can’t complain about what they can’t see.
I met this morning at the White House with Jared Kushner and Ambassador Friedman. I appreciate the meeting. I gave them my unvarnished opinion on their so-called "peace plan", which in reality is a total abandonment of decades of U.S. Middle East policy.
Here's what I told them:
Trump’s lawyers argued he has a right to abuse his power as much as he wants, and Congress can do nothing about it.
Sounds familiar:
Trump: “I have an Article 2, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.”
Congress can do something: hold a fair trial.
“For several years now, Trump has trained his nativist ire on Muslims and Latinos. The travel ban suggests he’s adding a new target, just in time for the 2020 elections: Africans.” @TheAtlantic

@AlisonMorrisNOW That was not a stutter. Sounded like you refer to the team as the Los Angeles N****** with your inner circle. Rolled right off your tongue #Racist#MSNBC
@AlisonMorrisNOW Nope,not buying it. Sounded like the 'N' word with a strong 'ER'. You should be FIRED @AlisonMorrisNOW. But then again @MSNBC along with other mainstream news outlets are white supremacist & corporate controlled establishments. You spoke/slipped your true sentiment. #RIPKobe24
Compassion enhances our self-confidence because a calm mind allows our marvellous human intelligence to bloom. When we’re angry, our thinking is distorted and we don’t see the different aspects of reality. A calm mind enables us to take a broader, more realistic view.

Nearly a quarter of a million students have been on school grounds during s shooting. An important new study digs deep into the long-term effect on survivors. https://t.co/kUxtjf93rg
My son Dylan was shot at least 5 times in his classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary. He died at just 6 years old. Yet in the years since, Congress hasn't taken action to save lives like Dylan’s. Sign our petition demanding Congress take action to prevent school shootings. -Nicole
Today the Senate confirmed Steven Menashi to a lifetime federal judgeship. Menashi:
- Helped Stephen Miller craft the family separation policy
- Wrote offensive remarks about women, Muslims, & the LGBTQ community
- Has never even tried a case
Even for Republicans, this is low.
