Listening to the #January6th hearing is like reflecting on a toxic relationship. You knew it was bad at the time but after you’ve healed a bit it’s just so glaringly obvious that Trump was determined to overthrow American Democracy. #Jan6th#Jan6Committee
Psst. To all of you minimizing the January 6 insurrection. You do know there is video from the day, right? Lots of it? And it’s not hard to figure out what happened, who is to blame, and how outrageous it all was - and is?
Mitch “100% of my focus is on stopping this administration” McConnell now also says he won’t confirm a Biden SCOTUS nominee—at all—if he's Majority Leader.
We're wasting our time watering down our agenda with this party. It’s time to move forward, go big and bold, and deliver.
Don’t blame the workers who aren’t rushing back to frontline jobs to make $7.25/hour.
Blame the companies who aren’t willing to pay them a living wage.
I testified in front of Congress about nearly losing both of my children during childbirth because doctors didn’t believe my pain.
Republicans got more upset about me using gender-inclusive language in my testimony than my babies nearly dying.
Racism and transphobia in America.
In Mitch McConnell’s world, if you are a multi-billionaire campaign contributor it's okay to receive a $1.4 billion tax break. That’s how the system works. But if you are a carpenter who makes $75,000 a year, a direct payment is “socialism for the rich.” Give me a break.
If we take a knee, they’re mad. If we speak up like I do, they’re mad. If we protest like Martin Luther King Jr. taught us to do, they’re mad. What is it that they expect us to do when police keep killing us?
During Derek Chauvin’s trial, police around the nation killed Adam Toledo, Daunte Wright, and over 60 other people who were disproportionately BIPOC. We can’t forget that.
For George, Adam, Daunte, and every victim of police violence, we have to pass the Justice in Policing Act.
@TheCounter Why don’t people want to go back to a public facing job in a high risk environment for a low wage that doesn’t offer healthcare or paid time off during a pandemic? Can’t imagine why people would look for alternative work, shocking.
@amandamsnyder Not sure. Strangers are making eye contact and small talk walking around the neighborhood. At least we’re all still hiding under our masks. Will update after prolonged sunshine.
DMX So sad such an amazing person and artist. Last time I saw him we just talked about our kids all day. If anyone out there has a friend or family member that suffers from addiction don’t judge just show them love and support. Childhood Trauma is real.
Thinking about the fact that we all watched George Floyd get murdered, but as we watch this trial, we all have this gut-wrenching fear that Derek Chauvin won’t get convicted.
That shows you how unjust this system truly is.
