At least 2,143 incarcerated people have died from COVID-19-related causes, including hundreds detained pre-trial and not convicted of a crime. Many family members of incarcerated people weren't even told their loved ones were sick, until it was too late. https://t.co/NLUf4tojgs
Kalief Browder was 17 when he sat in solitary confinement for 2 years for a crime he did not commit.. and was denied bail. He ended up taking his life due to the trauma he endured while incarcerated. But when you’re white and daddy works with the feds, you’re chillin.
Make no mistake – yesterday was no accident.
It was the result of four years of gaslighting and concerted attempts from within to weaken our democracy.
But our democracy proved more resilient than the deranged conspiracy theories.
God bless America.
The scene that unfolded yesterday in the Capitol Building will go down as one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.
This was not a protest. It was an act of domestic terrorism spurred on by the president himself and his minions.
People were just allowed to leave? After forcing their way into a federal building, damaging federal property, ignoring law enforcement, and jeopardizing the safety of lawmakers, staff and the press?
Switched to Fox News to see what the conversation for that half of America and the first thing I heard was “Unlike the BLM protests there’s no vandalism other than the breaking into the Capitol” and I confess to screaming out loud.
Teamed up with some fellow New Jerseyans to encourage everyone this holiday season to wear a friggin’ mask. Let’s all come together and #MaskUpNJ so we can get back to what we do best – singing along and dancing together. @FirstLadyNJ@NJ_PRF@NJGov
Income and wealth inequality is soaring. Today, 1 in 4 U.S. workers are either unemployed or earn a poverty wage of less than $20,000 a year. Meanwhile, the 50 richest Americans own more wealth than the bottom 50%. We have got to create an economy that works for all, not the 1%.
