My last message to my dear sister and friend, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, was to thank her for all she’d done to build up a movement for love & justice in this nation. May we honor her life by continuing her work.

[Leader Reives Press @ReivesPress]

Just one of countless examples across the state where legislative inaction will lead to real, negative impacts on working people in North Carolina. #ncpol #ncga https://t.co/UZp6xBAR9p

💰 The myth of trickle-down economics is unraveling in NC.

While tax cuts may have benefited corporations & the wealthy few, NC families are feeling the pinch. We must demand state lawmakers put communities over corporations! @tax #ncga #ncpol

Extremists in the NC General Assembly need to STOP trying to terrorize immigrant communities by forcing sheriffs to become extensions of ICE. HB10 is cruel and will make communities less safe. NC stand up with our immigrant families! #ForwardTogether #ncga #hb10

I understand that tents and flags and things are a violation of university policy. But trotting out dozens of police in riot gear to apprehend students at a peaceful protest is a wildly disproportionate response AND it almost always makes the situation worse

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

With my mother. Daddy’s funeral.

He wasn’t assassinated because he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.”

But for dismantling racism, poverty & militarism.

He wanted corrective measures to eradicate racism, not the delusion that it doesn’t exist.

📍Wilkes County tonight y’all! @Staley4NCSenate had me so excited to see him represent Senate District 36. Darren’s someone who’s benefited his entire life from the work of Democrats. We’re going to remind folks next year which party really fights FOR the people. ✊ #ncpol

UNC-CH and NC State students shame NC legislators for their racially gerrymandered, unconstitutional and anti-democratic maps #ncpol @will_doran @LauraLeslieWRAL @RaleighReporter

[Barbara Lee @BarbaraLee_CA]

On this day, 22 years ago, while the nation was mourning 9/11, President Bush put forward a 60-word resolution allowing any president to go to war at any time, in any place, for any reason.

I voted against it—knowing it would lead to endless war.

@AdamSchiff voted for it.

[UAW @UAW]

STAND UP.

[Kai Newkirk for Congress @kai_newkirk]

Powerful.

Holly Cook Macarro of @ndncollective reads a statement from Leonard Peltier as hundreds of indigenous leaders and allies from across the country rally at the White House for Leonard’s freedom on his 79th birthday.

Now is the time, President Biden. #FreeLeonardPeltier

Yesterday, #UNC and @ncatsuaggies students advocated for stricter gun laws at the state legislature two weeks after a professor was shot and killed @UNC.

Today, students are on lockdown again.

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

Surely the "constitutional conservatives" would all agree with @GraigMeyer to follow our own state constitution - right? #ncpol
