Avis Collins Robinson, the love of my life, passed away Saturday after a brief battle with cancer. She was an extraordinary woman, and my profound grief is tempered by gratitude that she allowed me to share her extraordinary life.
Today is @SpeakerJohnson’s fourth day as Speaker.
Just this Congress, he has co-sponsored three different bills to implement a national abortion ban, eliminating the right to control your own health care decisions.
Every NY Republican voted for him. New Yorkers deserve better.
"Why in God's name would Americans give up the progress we made for the chaos they're suggesting."
Powerful words from @POTUS as he continues to make good on his promise to strengthen our economy.
Two million people. Half children. Starved. Bombed. Cut from communication.
Have those facilitating this thought much about the future this leaves us? No.
Some may dismiss a ceasefire as naïve or worse. Yet who has a plan for what follows this destruction? What do we call that?
Shanquella Robinson died 1 yr ago today while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas. Shanquella’s family is still looking for her murderer. Often times Black families must fight to get justice for their loved ones — today is a reminder we can’t stop until justice is served. 🙏🏾
Dear Jim Jordan,
I woke up at 5AM today, drove an hour to Columbus Airport, got on an hour-long flight to Washington D.C, took a car all the way to the U.S Capitol, waited in line for over an hour…
…JUST so I could see your face the moment you LOST today.
Oh, There’s more:
I’m here for the OSU kids you didn’t protect.
I’m here for the voters you failed to represent.
I’m here for every American who sees you as the traitor you are.
You violated our Constitution and you violated our trust.
You deserve to lose Jim Jordan.
Get used to it.
Because I am going to beat you in November too.
George Floyd would’ve turned 50 years old today, if his life had not been horribly cut short by a knee to the neck. He should be here to celebrate this milestone with his family and friends. Instead, we grieve as we remember and honor his story and the national movement his death sparked! Rest In Power. 🙏🏾
Humans can only survive without water for about 3 days. Gaza has run dry.
The blockade on water, food, and electricity is an indiscriminate, collective punishment and a crime.
It is cruel and unjust. To save millions of people in Gaza - nearly half children - it must end. Now.
Black men make up less than 2% of teachers in the U.S. The Literacy Lab is working to change that. Having a teacher of the same race is important for students of color! We need more exemplary Black men in the classroom!

RFK Jr is a huge threat in 2024. He’s backed by a massive and growing war chest and Cambridge Analytica on steroids. And he’s taking dead aim at the Biden/Harris ticket as a 3rd party spoiler. He could assure a Trump victory and the end of the republic.
Michael McFarland and Marckus Williams recently opened Indy Fresh Market — a Black-owned grocery store in Indianapolis! They opened the store to offer fresh food in an area that was previously a food desert! EVERY community needs access to healthy food! https://t.co/WngobhPG8g
Ted Cruz just voted to shut down the United States government.
He voted to force thousands of Texans serving in uniform and federal employees to work without pay.
He is too extreme for Texas, but we don’t have to be stuck with him – join us at https://t.co/2dROrrPU0n

1. Cutting Social Security
2. Slashing funding to schools
3. Criminalizing abortion
Democrats put #PeopleOverPolitics.
An appeals court has ordered a Black venture capital firm to pause grant apps supporting Black women founders
A conservative group sued the Fearless Fund, alleging racial discrimination for only helping Black women

They wont pay Black people reparations for slavery
They wont pay Black people reparations for Jim Crow
They won't give Black farmers the COVID19 aid white farmers got
And now they won't let Black people use their own money to elevate Black people
White supremacy—alive & well.
