When I first started calling @RonDeSantis a fascist, I got blowback from folks in both parties. Now, he’s being so overt about it that people are coming around. Calling DeSantis a fascist isn’t hyperbole, it’s defining what he is.
This is a Nazi symbol. 👇🏾
It’s 2023, and I’m shocked we even have to say this… slavery did NOT BENEFIT Black people. This country was built on our backs — America benefitted from Black people. ✊🏾

In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.
They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.
This weekend marked the 400th mass shooting in the US this year.
Absolutely insane.
Everyone deserves the Right to Safety.
Time for a Constitutional amendment to end these tragedies. https://t.co/9MQlm24XBZ
After Roe was overturned, states that have the highest populations of people of color were the first to ban abortion. Black women are nearly 3 times more likely than White women to die in childbirth, bearing children the state is forcing them to bear.

New rules in a handful of GOP-led states that could criminalize or fine those who help voters with their ballots or registration forms have created fear and confusion among voter advocacy groups. https://t.co/GmxbryFGjZ
Wow. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin just secretly removed suicide prevention resources for LGBTQ youth from a state website. He did so after facing a backlash from MAGA influencers telling him to remove the resources.

In 2022, about six people in Mass. died of opioid overdoses per day, on average. Deaths among Black users rose by 42% from 2021. Part of the reason is that "Black drug users are less likely to receive medications used to treat an addiction."

You should DEFINITELY not retweet this so others know as well. https://t.co/mJ010XTcru
Anything on storming the Capitol to overturn an election a cult didn’t like? Or do you just comment when folks disagree with racist decisions you’ve made?
Reminder: the Constitution does not specify the number of seats on the Supreme Court. This power was left to Congress, which set the Supreme Court's size at one chief justice and five associates in the Judiciary Act of 1789. It was legally changed seven times.

Discrimination is wrong.
Using religion as an excuse to discriminate is wrong - and unconstitutional.
The Court’s minority is right: the Constitution is no license for a business to discriminate.
Today’s ruling will move America backward.
So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CAN’T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.
