[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

MAGA literally canceled an election to wipe out a Black district.

This is Jim Crow 2.0.

Don’t stay silent.

[Esther Lemus @JoinEstherLemus]

Yes! 👏 👏👏

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The system is broken.

Billionaires get richer. Workers get replaced by algorithms.

The economic disruption is here. And California is taking action today.

We have to build a future that protects workers, supports small businesses, and ensures the new economy works for everyone, not just a handful of tech companies.

It’s time to rewrite the rules to make sure THE PEOPLE benefit.

Why are people afraid to acknowledge our country’s history?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of “corrosive ideology.

This famous photo is one of them.

Please paste this image everywhere. Don't let them erase history.

Information at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, where George Washington kept slaves is also being removed.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

.@AnnTelnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share.

Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

Cowardice by #LATimes and owner Patrick Soon-Shiong

Breaking exclusive from @thewrap: the #LAtimes editorial page editor @marielgarzaLAT has resigned in the wake of the paper not endorsing a presidential candidate. https://t.co/xNt7G0nHFS

[NightOwl☮️��🇦🌈 @seboskoff]

@sharonwaxman @TheWrap @marielgarzaLAT @marielgarzaLAT - A courageous and important statement, but you shouldn’t have had to resign. #LATimes used to be an esteemed Fourth Estate leader. Now it’s a barely dressed up tabloid.

BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris is the first Black woman to be formally be a nominee for President of the United States, and on November 5th, we’re going to elect her the first Black woman President. Retweet and follow if you’re in.

[Esther Lemus @JoinEstherLemus]

@RyanElward Agreed. As a current Teamster, I couldn’t be more disappointed.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Six years ago this week, Donald Trump's administration started the horrific practice of ripping children away from their parents at the southern border.

1,400 children still haven't been reunited with their families.

We cannot go back to this.

Odd that the tweet and headline don’t highlight the fact that Trump came in dead last, and that even Republican participants in the survey viewed him as being among the five worst presidents.

Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble
- John Lewis

[Esther Lemus @JoinEstherLemus]

This visceral emotional reaction that was felt by so many in 2016. We still have a chance to prevent this from happening again. Please vote, donate, do whatever you can to keep Trump from being elected President. Our country and democracy are in danger.

Woman screams 'NO' as Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States

Truth 👇🏽

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Instead of erroneously using my father to criticize #DEI and other efforts to correct hundreds of years of rigorous discrimination and racism, use his words and teachings to enact legislation and establish practices for true peace, which includes justice. #MLKDay #MLK #MLKDay2024

🧵of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he courageously speaks truth; shares about Kingian nonviolence; and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be.

Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary.

16 incarcerated individuals recently graduated from the Northwestern University Prison Education Program — marking the FIRST time a top-ranked U.S. university awarded degrees to students in prison! Incarceration and setbacks didn’t stop them from pursuing their dreams!
