On Friday night, I came to the Capitol with my chair. I refused to accept that Congress could leave for vacation while 11 million people faced eviction.
For 5 days, we’ve been out here, demanding that our government acts to save lives.
Today, our movement moved mountains.
It’s 2 AM on Sunday. We haven’t slept since Thursday night. The eviction moratorium expired, so we’re now in an eviction emergency. 11 million are now at risk of losing their homes at any moment.
The House needs to reconvene and put an end to this crisis.
If you are police, dont pull over in a cruiser in front of us walking our dog, stand in our path, tell us “i have something to show you in my trunk...dont be scared” and proceed to pull out a corgi. Just say you have a corgi too. #Thingsthathappenedtoday
EVERYONE. WE HAVE NEWS. 🎉

♥️ the emphasis from @kaappiah about attention to language in working w primary sources: specify communities (southerners vs. slave-holding white southerners) + avoid passive voice (invisibilizes harm and agency)
Getting ready to hear @CarrierScarier from @WilsonLibUNC & others on a panel talk critical race theory + primary source pedagogy at #RBMS21. Feels...topical? Crucial? Critical??
