NBA players are courageously on strike (withholding labor), NOT boycotting (withholding their $ /purchase). The diff is important bc it shows their power as *workers.*
The courage this takes is profound. WNBA organizing in this moment MUST be recognized too. #StrikeForBlackLives
What a day.
As I walked to my early voting site, I realized it was the Sonia Sotomayor Community Center.
When she was named 1st Latina to the SCOTUS, a Bronx Boricua, it made a younger me feel like there was a place for me in the world.
Today I cast my ballot under her name 😭
Actually you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID

NEW: Harris County Commissioners Court just approved a $15 mil coronavirus relief. To be eligible, residents must have a household income below 70 percent of the federal Area Median Income; which is about $53,400 for a family of four. Stay tuned for more details.
I keep getting asked who I’m voting for, if I’m going to endorse anyone, if I’m going to run. Let me be clear: I have ZERO confidence in Democrats and Republicans. I refuse to vote for “the lesser of two evils” because in the end, that’s still choosing evil.
