If Dems want to maintain Black women’s support you better keep VP Harris’ name out of your mouth other than saying to her,”Thank you!”

She understood the assignment and ran an excellent campaign. She was outstanding.

VP Harris will not bear the burden nor take the blame for the majority of white America’s obsession with racism and lack of responsibility to protect a multi-racial democracy. You will own this one.

While Nancy Pelosi talking about candidate scenarios perhaps she should figure out how to use her influence as a white woman to organize other white women and better understand how to end racism. I suggest that she starts with her own internalized thinking and actions first.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

I will not attend Prime Minister Netanyahu's political show in Congress.

After nearly 300 days, Netanyahu has failed to bring the hostages home and he has created a humanitarian catastrophe – this war must end.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Netanyahu is a war criminal committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It is utterly disgraceful that leaders from both parties have invited him to address Congress. He should be arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It is a dark day in US history when an authoritarian with warrant requests from the International Criminal Court is allowed to address a joint session of Congress.

40k Palestinians are dead.
Hostages aren’t home.
Netanyahu is a war criminal.
I will be boycotting his address.

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

I need people to remember that a black man won the popular vote twice and a woman won the popular vote once but lost bc (among other things) of electoral college/bad strategy. Do not let people say this country won’t vote for a woman. The majority of voters literally did lol.

[Christopher Bouzy (spoutible.com/cbouzy) @cbouzy]

VP Harris has my full support, but you can fuck all the way off.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

The United Farm Workers is proud to endorse VP Kamala Harris for President. Dime con quien andas, y te digo quien eres.

Kamala Harris stood with farm workers as CA’s Attorney General, as US Senator, and as Vice President. There is work to be done, and we’re ready. Sí, se puede!

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

This is an endorsement that matters to me

[Tori Lee @toriflee]

Me: Yeah the debate was bad, but I'm sure that the Supreme Court wildin' out will refocus the narrative on what's important.
SCOTUS: PRESIDENTS ARE KINGS
Trump: I had Epstein on speed dial.
RFK: I ate a dog.
Me: See.
Media: BIDEN MUST DROP OUT OF THE RACE
Me: [deep sigh]

[Christopher L. Castro @CLCastro1974]

I had something important to do on my last day of employment at the University of Arizona. Courage and Love. May we live like Tom.

[Christopher L. Castro @CLCastro1974]

[Yusra Abdullahi @ysabdullahi]

Teaching my first class this term, I dealt with a Dutch white woman student whose disrespect I was forced to tolerate for months. This person would roll her eyes at me in every class, gossip about me in Dutch, make comments about my face and hair, and question my qualifications.

Our own Kelly Nguyen taught a @ClassicsAtUCLA course on Asian and Asian American Classical Reception this spring--check out the students' final projects here on the course website + Dr. Nguyen's syllabus as ✨inspiration✨ for creating your own class!
