When I was interviewing for a job, I asked for a certain salary. The editor, a Black woman, made sure to say “Nah” and offered me $20K more.
Even when I didn’t negotiate my salary well, she used her power to make sure I was paid well. Grateful for people like her.
You know how many kids and staff books killed at my high school? Zero. You know how many kids and staff a former student killed with an AR-15? 17
Guess which one the Florida legislature is working on banning.
Please join me in calling on @POTUS to immediately denounce and cease the horrendous and inhumane whipping of Haitians by our Border Patrol agents.
PLEASE RT TO CONDEMN THIS.
It all comes down to Florida. This race could determine control of the Senate. I'm within a thin margin against Marco Rubio. Join the movement to help flip Florida blue in 2022!

Help me reach 500! @TheView is the most watched show on #DaytimeTV. Imagine the platform I would have to amplify disability and #DisabilityRights issues. They have never had a visibly #disabled cohost and they have definitely never ever had a #Muslim. https://t.co/h23dr0VrXG
When Jim Crow was first established, the process was slow, one outrage at a time. The state laws were systematically altered over a decade. I’m sure some ppl thought, “look at that, another crazy thing” and went on with their lives. DON’T REPEAT HISTORY. https://t.co/i0tyxx6Ff0

So many lessons from my friend @nhannahjones, this morning.
Go where you are embraced, celebrated, valued and supported.
Go where you don’t have to fight for people to see your brilliance.
And, avoid spaces if they barely tolerate you, even if they’re familiar and beloved.
And if I can do that after being blown apart, then I have hope all of you can too. And you don't need to see war to do it.
This life can be gone in an instant. Live and love well; it's the best way to memorialize this day.
❤️
I strongly condemn the rise in anti-Semitism and islamophobia we’re seeing across the country.
Let me say it again: our freedom and our destinies are tied.
The struggle for liberation and justice requires all of us to reject hate and division in any form.
I believe every woman should have exactly as many children as she wants, when she wants, if she wants. I believe children should be wanted, not a consequence or requirement. I believe people control their bodies, not the government.
