BREAKING: We just led a brief in support of the #USWNT's fight for equal pay, alongside @WomensSportsFdn + the support of 63 of our allies. We’re proud to join their fight for equal pay — it’s time to end pay inequality everywhere for women. https://t.co/DHw1nQZCjf
COVID-19 has reinforced that care work is critical infrastructure in our country. I hope you’ll join @RepBowman, @RepNikema, @aijenpoo and me – along with the #MakeCareCount campaign – for an important discussion at 7:30 PM ET about the #CareForAllAgenda.
A @DCPoliceDept officer says off-duty police officers and members of the military, who were among the rioters, flashed their badges and I.D. cards as they attempted to overrun the US Capitol. https://t.co/iIupUMIr9H via @politico
We will not normalize what happened yesterday. We will not excuse it. This is terrorism called for by the president of this country, and the last gasp of white supremacists trying to wield their destructive power.
Trump must be impeached immediately.
There was also a blatant disregard for the lives of the regular people that work in the Capitol and in the city. Terrorists were allowed to descend on our town, and Capitol building staff, service workers, hotel staff, and more were expected to simply do their jobs.
The police’s actions yesterday were an unsettling reminder that saying Black lives matter invites tear gas, rubber bullets, and worse — while being a neo-nazi means you can simply walk into the Capitol.
It’s been 4 years of relentless gaslighting from this administration and its supporters. The cruelty, recklessness, & blatant hypocrisy is almost unsurprising at this point. But even in the final days of this wannabe dictatorship, we can’t allow what's happened to be normalized.
