The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism.

It's Jim Crow 2.0.

[Kristen Clarke @KristenClarkeJD]

NEW: Almost every member of the Tennessee Black Caucus in the State House being PUNISHED and stripped of Committee assignments for speaking out against mass disenfranchisement of Black voters. This is the kind of racism we can expect to see more often in the wake of Callais.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

You can't celebrate Dr. King's legacy once a year in January and then spend the rest of the year trying to attack and dismantle his legacy.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump votes by mail. But this week, he signed an Executive Order so you can’t.

Why? Because he is scared of your power, and he is scared of losing the midterms.

Things we know for sure about Dawn Staley:

3× National Champion.
6 consecutive Final Four appearances.
Multiple-time SEC Champion.
2× Naismith Coach of the Year.
Olympic Gold Medalist—both as a player and a coach.

And most importantly, if you come for her, just know you’re getting the full-court press. So don’t shake unless you want to get shook.

We ride at DAWN.

Chicago in the summer is amazing.

I’m not going back to Target. And you shouldn’t, either.

[Preston D. Mitchum @PrestonMitchum]

The Target boycott is STILL on, btw.

Why is it that this President refuses to even pretend that he cares about following the law?! I’ve been stomping & telling people that this election is life or death!

CONGRESS, not the PRESIDENT, but CONGRESS has the EXCLUSIVE authority to declare war! Speaker Johnson needs to call us in IMMEDIATELY & it is time for the House & the Senate to pass a war powers resolution!

This is how you prove your love and respect for the constitution. This is how you show your constituents that you are truly patriots! It is time for us, collectively, as Dems and Repubs to stand up to this President. Please call your reps in the house and the senate and urge them to take a vote on a war powers resolution!

"The race isn’t given to the swift, neither to the strong, but to he who endures to the end.” Ecclesiastes 9:11

There are architects of America. And then there are the pillars. The kind you don’t just remember, you lean on.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson was not simply a participant in history. He was infrastructure. A living, breathing bridge between protest and policy. Between the pulpit and the presidency. Between what was promised and what was possible.

He was the son of Greenville, South Carolina who heard the spirit of Yes, We Can before it was spoken.

His 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns were not symbolic runs. It dared America to see itself differently. To count us fully. To hear us clearly.

He did not ask politely for inclusion. He demanded access. Ownership. Dignity. Not just for himself, but for those who marched until their feet blistered. For our parents who organized when it was unpopular. For the generations who now shape a future that once felt unreachable.

Today, we don’t just remember him.
We stand on what he strengthened.
We build higher because he built first.

May the Angels hear the chants of Hope being kept alive as the clouds welcome you to your rightful place.

Job well done. Ascend.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Today we lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson proved that a national political movement could be built from bold progressive ideals and an unshakable vision of radical love and justice. May he rest in power.

[Chicago Bulls @chicagobulls]

Today, Chicago lost one of its most influential voices with the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson.

[Alexi Giannoulias @Giannoulias]

A beautiful, hopeful, caring, loving inspirational family that has always represented the best of what America has always stood for, and has NEVER celebrated hate, inequality, bullying, racism or negativity. THIS is the family we should all try to emulate & be proud of. 🇺🇸❤️
