5 years ago 72 people died because they were trapped in a government mandated death trap. 5 years later and we can’t forget their names. We must continue to fight for justice for them and their families. 💚💚✊🏾 #Justice4Grenfell
Why is @BET's president on the board of the NYC Police Foundation? By sitting on the board, Scott Mills is abetting the NYPD. #BETPoliceFoundations https://t.co/DB5FY0taAS
One year later we remember that the United States is powered by amnesia —Black people have spent more time in jail for weed than have the white nationalist insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government #January6th
Nearly 4 in 10 student loan borrowers don’t have a degree. They tried college, but life caught up, they had babies, somebody got sick, they were working three jobs & then had to drop out. Now they're getting crushed with debt. @POTUS should #CancelStudentDebt.

Thank you for showing us that we are never alone. Rest in eternal peace 💜
Most of Congress doesn't bat an eye when it comes to giving $768,000,000,000 to the Pentagon, but when it comes to building a social safety net that actually supports people?
Now you say we don't have the money.
When we say poverty is a policy choice, this is what we mean.
Homelessness is a policy failure, not an individual one.
That's why the Senate must pass the #BuildBackBetterAct, which will fund the construction of and improvement of over 1 million affordable homes.
Communities like the Bay Area need this now more than ever.
Housing is a human right & it's time we invested in it as such.
The #BuildBackBetter Act must fund housing so we can expand affordable housing, tackle racial wealth gaps & promote safe housing 4 all.
Proud to join my @FSCDems colleagues to call for these critical investments.
Pentagon budget: $750+ billion/year
Build Back Better Act: $350 billion/year for 10 years
Guess which one of these we rubber stamp every year, and which one is "too much"? It’s time for us to invest in people and communities.
Black Lives Matter means Haitian Lives Matter–period.
There must be accountability for the inhumane treatment of Haitian migrants by @CBP agents.
@POTUS must lead with compassion & #StopTheFlights.
If you live in a huge new luxury condo in a gentrifying black neighborhood, that displaced a bunch of POC owned businesses and a grocery store, part of me feels you should just hold off on the BLM sign.
