12 Republicans voted against granting a Congressional Gold Medal to the US Capitol Police. They say they support police but they don’t. These folks are hypocrites... VOTE THEM OUT!

Epic twist—The Georgia sheriff who said the man accused of killing six Asian women & two others at spas had "a bad day" previously shared & promoted racist T-shirts on social media that said "Covid 19 IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA."

Can’t make this up.

Congressman Tim Ryan unleashed hell on the House floor today over all GQPers refusing to do any good for anyone other than themselves. This truth is what’s needed daily. 🔥

Please note how much of this commitment will rest on the labor of Black women, yet there is no mention of hiring Black women for the SLJ staff.

@DarkLiterata Great point. Unfortunately it certainly does.

My Facebook response to how white women are treating Black women this week about the February SLJ issue.

How many layers of approval did this get through?!? I can’t actually think of a clearer example of centering whiteness in the diversity discussion. I mean, you literally centered whiteness on the cover and in the cover story ... in February. Shameful @sljournal

In the Oval Office with the @VP, the New Defense Secretary and the Joint Chiefs Chairman looking on, @POTUS signed an Executive Order allowing transgender individuals to serve in the military.

If condoning President Trump’s behavior is required to stay in the AZGOP’s good graces, I’m just fine being on the outs. https://t.co/2rzCTu1AcZ

Senate to-do list:
1. Abolish the filibuster and pass COVID-19 relief for our communities.
2. Convict Trump.
3. Legislate like Democrats control the White House, Senate, and the House of Representatives. Because we do.
