Today we honor the members of the labor movement past and present. #LaborDay

On this day in 1955, two men fueled by racism, hate, and anger took the life of 14-year old Emmett Till in Money, Mississippi. His tragic death was a catalyst in the Civil Rights movements and remains a reminder of our fight against racism and bigotry #RememberingEmmettTill

When folks ask how I am feeling, I have two answers.

1. I am perpetually outraged. Every single day.
2. I am grateful to be alive in this moment.

As difficult as these past few years have been, I believe we were chosen for this time. We got this.

50 yrs ago, Shirley Chisholm began her service as the first Black woman in Congress.

She was often frozen out by men and alienated by the feminist movement.

Chisholm's courage helped create a pathway for the 20 Black women in Congress today.

There are 492 days until the 2020 election.

Make no mistake, Florida is not the only state that will be undertaking wild voter suppression measures to silence and disenfranchise voters.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

This notion that criticism of a government employee who failed to do her job with the integrity the public is entitled to is somehow hateful or inappropriate is pretty smarmy, coming from folks who criticized Obama’s tan suit.

[Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters]

No one should be shocked at Trump admitting it's ok for Russia to interfere in our elections. Trump has colluded w/ the Russians for years & YES they helped him get elected. I told you so. I insist Trump must be impeached. Finally, more Dems calling for an impeachment inquiry.

@Jaime_SanchezJr @Princeton @RosinaLozano @KevinMKruse @julianzelizer Proud of you, honeybun!

This is REALLY important.

On American soil, it's neo-Nazis, the KKK and violent white supremacists who pose the greatest threat.

Northam now claims that he:
--dressed up as Michael Jackson
--put shoe polish on his cheeks and
--learned how to do the Moonwalk.

Northam's statements are OUTRAGEOUS, dismissive and show lack of character.

And regardless, this is him conceding that he dressed in blackface.

[Derrick Johnson @DerrickNAACP]

We are deeply disappointed in Governor @RalphNortham's failure to take accountability today. Using shoe polish on his face in any form to mimic Michael Jackson showcases his lack of awareness of the discrimination against Black people. We stand by our call for his resignation.

Today marks the 100th birthday of baseball legend Jackie Robinson. He became a living milestone for racial equality and changed the sport of baseball forever.

Happy 100th birthday 42

Texas lied. Turns out the non-citizens are citizens who have the right to vote.

Paxton recklessly threatened criminal prosecution.

Repeated attempts to suppress the vote in Texas show why we need Congress to restore the Voting Rights Act NOW.

[Brighter Days for Justice @BrighterJustice]

Sending love and light to our brother @JussieSmollett who was attacked last night with this horrific hate crime. Racism and homophobia will not be tolerated! https://t.co/qBkUtB2snj

Who is your favorite black poet?

.@DerrickNAACP: Unlike previous presidents from both parties, Trump has appointed no Black women to federal bench. Not one. Individual courts are losing diversity & number of African-American women on federal appellate courts is perilously low. #DiversityMatters

[Atlanta Black Star @ATLBlackStar]

McDonald's employees call a Black customer a N*gger and then call the police to lie that “he threatened to kill the manager.”

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

To those who say, “Trump should give DACA, Pelosi should do the wall,” we must say a clear, “No.” The wall isn’t negotiable b/c it’s based on lies, racism & white nationalism. It’s like saying “White Only” signs were OK as long as Black folks got clean restrooms.
