Fighting for those who need it, using my privilege to make a change, and always learning from people who have a voice to share.

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

This is it. No other tweet is necessary. Only this perfect tweet is needed to explain the true madness of these past 4 years under the Trump presidency.

[Ed Stern is on BlueSky @EdStern]

Well that escalated steadily for four years.

Impeach. Remove. Indict. Incarcerate.

@sassandsmiles Just finished watching everything and started the new season. Good luck catching up, it's a wild ride! Please watch the international shows too, Thailand Season 2 is honestly my favorite season of all time.

Roger Stone was just sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison.

A man I represented is currently serving a sentence of 3-6 years in prison for stealing a jacket.

IN WHICH I TOLD ELIZABETH WARREN TO “TAKE CARE” 😭🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you @TeamWarren for making this happen and saving the Internet from my most embarrassing rambling!!!

[Doug Jones @DougJones]

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to uphold my oath of #ImpartialJustice

Growing up in Alabama I learned right from wrong.

What the President did was more than wrong. Someone has to stand up & say so. I will fulfill my oath & vote in favor of both articles of impeachment.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Voters need to trust the election process, regardless of who is operating the system. Mistakes were made in Iowa, and voters' confidence has been shaken. But people should not lose faith in our democracy. We must keep voting, while we demand accountability and improvement.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

After much deliberation, I have decided that I will not use my presence at a state ceremony to normalize Trump’s lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution.

None of this is normal, and I will not legitimize it.

Consequently, I will not be attending the State of the Union.

[Queers Against Pete @QueersAgnstPete]

The queer community has been raising concerns about Pete since well before Iowa. Now that we’ve seen him declare victory without the votes being counted, we are more concerned than ever.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The Iowa caucuses are just three days away—so we got some friends together to talk about what you can do these next few days to help!

[Rhea Liang @LiangRhea]

Today a patient made jokes about not shaking my hand because of #coronavirus. In front of my team.

I have not left Australia. This is not sensible public health precautions. This is #racism.

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

My question to the Senate: In his impeachment, President Clinton was forced to testify. Why doesn't the same rule apply to the current Prez? He's a tough guy on Twitter- let's see how he does under oath...

[FiveThirtyEight @FiveThirtyEight]

Do you think the country will elect a woman president in the next 20 years?
Stacey Abrams: Yes.

Do you think they'll elect a black woman?
Stacey Abrams: Yes.

Do you think they'll elect you?
Stacey Abrams: Yes. That's my plan. And I'm very pragmatic.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

You cannot be acquitted if you don’t have a trial. You don’t have a trial if you don’t have witnesses and documentation.

If Republican Senators choose a cover-up, the American people and history will judge it with the harshness it deserves.

The South Dakota legislature just dropped another anti-trans bill, this time forcing mental health professionals to out trans youth to their parents.

If we don't want to live in a country where politicians intentionally attack children, now is the time to be loud about it.
