Democrats often say “Texas isn’t a red state, it’s a nonvoting one.” The second clause is definitely true. But I traveled the state talking to folks who aren’t planning on voting this year, and found they aren’t as ready a target for the Dems as assumed: https://t.co/MkSY3BmkBj

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

(1/9) Gordon Ramsay and Martha Stewart are being outperformed by Doña Angela, a grandma from rural Mexico and her daughter’s phone camera.

The student debt fight is why understanding the history of race construction, racism, race hierarchy is critical. Our divestment in public goods begins with integration & Black people getting access.Large # white people oppose economic policies if they think Black people benefit.

If you were given a copy of Preparing for Adolescence in place of an actual conversation about sex and bodies, you’re in therapy now.

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

We had very special guests at the Capitol today. 2022 @CTKidGovernor Makhi Ettienne-Modeste of Windsor and his cabinet, including Elizabeth Becker of Hartford, came today to meet with Speaker Matt Ritter, @GovNedLamont, the House of Representatives, and myself.

Thanks to Connecticut’s magnet school leaders who joined me today at the University of Hartford Magnet School to talk about my legislation to increase and improve federal funding for diverse, career focused magnets.

This is Amir Locke. He was a son, a brother, a new business owner and wanted to make music like his father who is known to many in the Twin Cities music community as “Lil Buddy McClain”. Instead Amir was fatally shot by a Minneapolis officer seconds after he woke up Wednesday

Sheff v. O’Neill was filed in 1989 to address the severe racial and economic segregation in Hartford, CT schools. This settlement would represent a significant stride toward achieving educational equity and remedying decades of systemic discrimination. https://t.co/ATqczDWxNz

[Walter Smith Randolph @WalterReports]

Every Black & Latinx student from Hartford who wants a seat in a high-quality integrated school, should be offered one. That's the new commitment from CT officials in an agreement reached in the #SheffvsONeill desegregation case. @jacquelinerabe reports.https://t.co/H3QldNP2fD

Attendance incentives during a pandemic is reckless and dangerous.
