No hard feelings, guys. I'm the 1st Black woman ever elected in Baltimore's whitest district. Twice elected, now, thanks to my wonderful constituents & supporters. It's an honor to serve - and fun to make tikety toks to say, Thank you! 🥰 #mddems #BlackWomenLead

I detest high gas prices too but it’s wild that people buy GOP outrage on gas that’s $5 instead of $3.50—then excuse GOP for blocking an anti-price gouging bill, keeping min wage at $7.25 instead of $15, insulin at $1200 instead of $35, & paid leave at 0 weeks instead of 12 weeks

In 2014 when I ran for delegate, I championed expanding transit options for Baltimoreans and MDers… this year we passed the biggest funding mandate for MTA but @GovLarryHogan vetoed it… and now the White House is tweeting about transit in Baltimore! WOW! Let’s #FundMTA!

Again—Billionaire philanthropy is PR. Stop falling for it. Yes, $50M is a lot of money, but had Musk simply paid his taxes at the actual 37% rate, he would’ve paid $5.18B in taxes—which is 104X his donation.

Taxation of Billionaires > Philanthropy from Billionaires

When we say ‘yes all men’ this is what we mean

I seldom ask for retweets, but please amplify this. The sheer pettiness of the Hudson American Legion Lee-Bishop Post 464 needs to be called out. Apparently, even giving credit to African Americans is too much for some people to bear. Amazing. https://t.co/Lm3p94zMRc

About 51% of the US population is under age 40.

There is only one person under age 40 in the US Senate. It is a deeply unrepresentative body that mostly caters to old people, partly because its average member is nearly at retirement age.

Do you live in Baltimore City and haven’t been vaccinated yet? I’d love to hear more about why you’re trying to ruin my life

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, I confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals ⤵️

If we can tell 20 year olds they are too young to be leaders (they aren't) then we can tell 80+ year olds it might be time to consider retirement (they should)

@oureric watching R Eric speak at the MLA conference... Fabulous, and flawless zoom room!

What I imagine being an OpEd writer for a major newspaper would be like:

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

My version:

Daunte was convicted of a victimless crime. His punishment was to pay money. A cop stopped him to extract more money but realized he already owed money, which is a crime. While attempting to electrocute him & arrest him for owing money, she shot him

That’s the story

[American Library Association @ALALibrary]

While libraries are among our nation’s important institutions, many are underfunded. The Build America's Libraries Act would help fix that, providing much-needed upgrades to library infrastructure, especially in underserved communities. #BuildLibraries https://t.co/sWrn5fy64o
