@notcapnamerica Not educated white women. This is hard enough @notcapnamerica without you throwing gas on this fucking fire.

For us to be of any use in a Trump world, we have to pay grave attention to our inner states, so we don’t perpetuate the autocrat’s goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion or constant disorientation. https://t.co/kdstPGm42K

Curious what you are saying to concerned students today?

Thank you @TempestWilliams for this today. Needed it.

Believe the words we can’t bare to hear.. Today is a day to feel our losses, deeply. This is it its own form of resistance — to feel — This is not despair, this is grief —. and grief demands our presence. It moves with us, through us. This is what it feels like to care and to love all that is vulnerable and at risk. This, too, is what Democracy looks like— to believe, to enlist our courage with a sustained focus toward justice for all; to continue to do the work that is ours. It is never over. We are here for the duration — the long view in the desert is the seedbed of inspiration. The revolution is ours, it isn’t what we thought it would be — but transformation comes in unexpected forms. We will meet this moment with the gifts that are ours — and we will take care of each other — and not look away — This is not the end, nor the beginning, it is the truth of our lives. Our power lies in our capacity to keep loving and engaging with this beautiful, broken world. We can no longer look for leadership beyond ourselves. If we are present. we will know what to do.
By your side. One day at a time. Here.

BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.

This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.

"In a New York Prison, Trump will be guarding his rectum against insurrection!" Sang some Jay-Z and gave a sermon at Penn Station during the Trump Rally 💙🌊🌈

When I took office, we faced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Today, we have the greatest economy in the world.

44 scientists have issued a stark warning about the threat of a major ocean circulation change, causing a detrimental disruption of climate patterns lasting for centuries to come.
Check out this short video explaining what this is all about.

Puerto Rico has more U.S. Citizens than Iowa but lacks any Congressional Representation. Iowa has two U.S. Senators and four House Representatives. In addition Puerto Rico, as with other territories, has no representation in the electoral college. It’s time Puerto Rico was offered statehood so all citizens have representation and can hold national candidates accountable. @nytimes @washingtonpost @DMRegister

I want you all to have this.

Sit down, @AGIowa.

The DOJ is ensuring that @IowaSOS, you, and @IAGovernor don't block NATURALIZED American citizens from voting legally.

You know this. Your statement is false and you don't have the balls to use your official account to lie.

Iowa deserves better than you.

@WxJedi94 @RobSandIA Dylan you need to take down this tweet. That word is so incredibly offensive to all women. Stick to facts. She is incompetent, narrow thinking and owned by a few in this state.

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
