Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

there’s no age problem and no Kamala problem either just the White backlash problem that comes out with blackness in power.

Hi Twitter fam —going radio silent for a bit till our power is restored bc phone battery is low —saving for emergency 🆘—it is not looking good here—over 3hr without power. Feels like our community is at the bottom of their list. I’ve layered clothes and bundled in blankets
In Tennessee House committee last night, GOP leadership did NOT have the necessary two-thirds vote to end debate on school vouchers. They did it anyway.
Before the Little Rock Nine. There was the Clinton 12. On August 27, 1956, twelve African American young people from Clinton, TN became the first students to desegregate an all-white public high school in the South.

For anyone who is researching this topic or would like to enlighten others, here is one of my playlists, featuring Russian propagandists, government officials and combatants promoting war crimes and genocidal ideas. This is only a partial compilation.

Whoopi ask is it time for a 3rd party?
No! What we need is for all citizens to be able to access the ballot.
It doesn’t matter how many parties we have if ppl don’t have equal rights and access to the ballot.
When Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders staged photo op for the signing of her vaunted LEARNS Act, an education “reform” shoved through a rubber-stamp legislature with virtually no debate, she chose a private school in North Little Rock. Not a single Black face was in evidence.

Billionaire outsiders are relentless in their efforts to destroy our public schools and began their grifting—so anti-democratic 😡
We must be just as relentless in our voting to hold lawmakers accountable and let AFP and others know they can’t bully us or our representatives!

Geeez thanks for explaining that! It shouldn’t cost a fortune to run for *public* office. I hate the obscene amount of money going to elections! Better investment would be towards infrastructure!

Just thinking about the nearly 300 flag and general officers across the services caught up in the Tuberville holds since February and how it harms our national security every single day.
Preparedness and continuity matters the GOP chaos —is dangerous!

Two years ago this month, I called on states to expand their Medicaid postpartum coverage from 2 months to 12.
As of today, 42 states have done so.
I challenge the final eight to join our critical work to address the maternal health crisis.
