As someone who has been brutalized by police, I continue to stand in strong solidarity with Palestinians rising up against military, police, and state violence.

Congress must stop funding human rights abuses by the Israeli military.

do people deserve a living wage?

republicans: 👎
democrats: 👎☺️💁‍♀️

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

A vote against a $15 minimum wage is a vote to keep people in poverty.

That was not a moderate vote.
That was not a conservative vote.
That “NO” vote in the Senate was an oppressive vote.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Y’all the Republicans are not in power. The fact is that we’re getting a reduced COVID relief package & the passage of new voting rights legislation is in limbo solely because Democrats aren’t fully backing it. You can’t blame GOP for Dems not backing their own party’s platform.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Modern-day voter suppression efforts led by Republicans are an explicit attempt to reinstate Jim Crow-era apartheid systems in states with significant % of Black voters. Any narrative that attempts to frame it otherwise is deliberately missing the point.

[Mckayla @MeetMckayla]

Prince George's County, Charles County, and Baltimore City are the 3 jurisdictions in MD with the lowest proportion of their population vaccinated.

They're MD's 3 Blackest jurisdictions. We need a real plan from @GovLarryHogan to address this disparity.

It’s NOT voter fraud.

It’s historic Black voter turnout. An increase in voting in the 2020 elections has resulted in an increase in voter suppression bills in multiple states. We showed up, showed out, and now they are trying to limit our access to the ballot in return.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Just because Black History Month is over doesn’t mean we stop celebrating the Black history that is being made every day. Black excellence should be celebrated 24/7, 365 days a year.

@dyllyp I relate to this. Mine is possibly my most prized adult possession.

[John Iadarola @johniadarola]

One of two things is going to end:

The filibuster, or Democratic control of Congress.

It's on the Dems to decide which it is.

[Fred @WaywardWinifred]

Democrats have 2 options
.
A: VP Kamala Harris overrules the parliamentarian.

B: Senate Dems eliminate the filibuster.

Failing to do one or the other means the $15 minimum wage increase dies.

If that dies, Democrats will lose in 2022.

[Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan]

Bill Maher and Megyn Kelly say children shouldn’t be burdened with race issues.

I’m sure young Tamir Rice would agree with them, but he couldn’t be reached for comment.

[Marco Rogers @polotek]

Biden ran on diet white supremacy. Let's laugh and have a beer before I continue fucking you up. And unfortunately it works. I'm not mad. I went into it with eyes open. I haven't forgotten where we were headed with Trump.

[Stephen Semler @stephensemler]

Rep. Hoyer opposes Green New Deal and Medicare for All but backs the strikes on Syria. And of course his justification offers no empirical/legal basis: this is the same guy who voted for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Support his primary opponent @MeetMckayla

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

Biden's bombing of Syria is both unconstitutional and illegal under international law

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

What decency? We’re in a pandemic and there’s been zero move towards universal health care, no stimulus checks, no student loan cancellation, no mass housing projects, they’re still dropping bombs, and those kids in cages? Yep. Still there. What does decency mean to y’all?

[Dylan Park-Pettiford @dyllyp]

His last words were “Please don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me.” And they killed him.

Fuck. The. Police.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

One year ago today, Ahmaud Arbery went on a run. He was hunted down and murdered.

We cannot forget his life. We cannot forget his story. We cannot forget that the system almost let his killers get away.

Ahmaud, we continue to fight for justice for Black lives in your name.

Sorry but this is the best bird story I’ve ever read. The update is *chefs kiss*
