Stop telling ppl to just vote this Fall when we know voting faces many challenges like voter suppression & gerrymandering. Abortion is basic health care, when the basics won’t be upheld, we have to reevaluate the power structure not just the people in power. #SCOTUS#RoeVWade
What about outside the womb? Nationally, there is a shortage 7 milliion+ affordable homes for 10.8 million+ low-income families. Nearly half of the 43 million renters in the U.S. are housing cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing. #proequity
While 64% of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck and 90 million are uninsured or underinsured, not protecting abortion access speak volumes. We know who they are. Now let’s act accordingly. #abortionrights#RoeVWade#RoeVWade#fighthepower#SCOTUS
The Wampanoags, who trace their history 10,000 years in this land, helped undocumented Europeans adjust to a new environment thru hospitality. A mythology emerged after. Suppression of the Native story brought forth a #NationalDayofMourning#History#Thanksgiving#NativeAmerican
Please take a few moments to go through this thread. Most of us are disconnected from where our food comes from & who/what labor is involved in making it possible to bring that food to us. They need our respect & appreciation. ❤️ #NationalDayOfMourning#ThanksgivingDay
Today is a #NationalDayOfMourning for many Native people. However, despite the best efforts of European settlers 400 years ago, we are still here, and for that I am THANKFUL
Thanksgiving epitomizes a make-believe nation’s fake history of cordial Native-colonizer relations as its founding. We are thus compelled every year to counter a Disneyland story erasing European invasion, land theft, and Indigenous genocide. #NationalDayOfMourning
Why is it relevant @AnnissaForBos? @MbahCouncilor he is Somerville’s mayoral candidate w/ Cameroon roots. Are you suggesting voters should only vote for candidates native to their city? @wutrain has served the @CityOfBoston well & in 2021 diverse roots are a strength! #boston
It’s 2021 and a mayoral candidate basically said another candidate isn’t really “one of us”. That’s triggering on so many levels and indicative of so much more. @AyannaPressley has Chicago roots and that has served Boston and the MA 7th well

You want to thank Black women?
Cancel student debt -- all of it.
Black women carry more student debt than any other group in America.
Save your words of appreciation. Policy is our love language.
Joe Biden is going to win. But what people of color have long understood should be clear to everyone now:
Donald Trump is not an aberration, he’s a mirror. And that ugliness we see in him is America’s.
