As you commemorate #MLKDay, please remember my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no MLK Day.

@alan_chazaro@KQEDarts So excited for you friend! Can’t wait for all your adventures ahead ! We’re all a little bit better because of your words in the world!!!
The bipartisan @January6thCmte has extensively covered how Trump’s use of Twitter played a critical role in the violence of that day.
Review their extensive work & ask yourself why a billionaire is toying w/ bringing back the person responsible for this:
Idk man, last time he was here this platform was used to incite an insurrection, multiple people died, the Vice President of the United States was nearly assassinated, and hundreds were injured but I guess that’s not enough for you to answer the question. Twitter poll it is
Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.
Let’s start w/ why:
- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years
- 1 of those seats was stolen
- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…
WATCH: Democrats must realize that the implications of the Roe decision are "not just a crisis of Roe" but "a crisis of our democracy,” @AOC says. #MTP
“The Supreme Court has dramatically overreached its authority. … This is a crisis of legitimacy.”
WATCH: @RepAOC (D-N.Y.) responds to Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-Ark.) and Arkansas’ abortion ban.
“This decision and this policy will kill people no matter what their spin and what their talking points are.”
And when and if power refuses to protect our kids, then we must organize and challenge power like the lives of our kids depend on it; we must seize power like the lives of kids depend on it. Our kids lives are on the line.
An extremist Supreme Court is poised to overturn #RoeVWade and impose its far-right, unpopular views on the entire country. It's time for the millions who support the Constitution and abortion rights to stand up and make their voices heard. We're not going back—not ever.
My father didn’t just happen upon death.
White supremacists assassinated him to silence his voice & stop his work of eradicating the “Triple Evils”: Racism, Militarism, Poverty.
Those who unrepentantly benefited from these evils railed against their eradication. They still do.
Reminder that Brett Kavanaugh *still* remains credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple accounts w/ corroborated details & this year the FBI admitted it never fully investigated.
Yet the court is letting him decide on whether to legalize forced birth in the US. No recusal.
Just a reminder that these men were only arrested after people shared the video of them murdering Ahmaud Arbery, AND THEN more people demanded that just be served.
Once again, ACTIVISM WORKS!
Breaking News: The jury has finished deliberating in the trial of three white men accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was out jogging. Watch the verdict being read. https://t.co/6Tr6MMLtaM
Well, besides the fact that it happened at a Black protest.
That’s EXACTLY what the lynchers in Memphis said.
That’s what Daley said.
That’s what J Edgar Hoover said.
That’s what the troopers in Selma said.
They will NEVER SAY it’s about race.
It’s an American tradition
The judge. The jury. The defendant.
It’s white supremacy in action.
This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free.
I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken.
