Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

This is for all Black voters in Michigan! A vote for Mike Roger over Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will GUARANTEE a right wing Supreme Court for the next 50 years. DO NOT leave that race blank. We MUST vote for Abdul al-Sayed. Share and repost!

I have a friend who is a social worker doing the same work as this social worker. She has also told me stories of women like Amy Acton's mother.

Conspicuously absent from your list. These Dems are running for closely contested congressional seats too. In fact, El-Sayed is running one of the most impressive campaigns in the country WITH Obama's support. And yet 🦗 🦗. Gee,I wonder what these candidates have in common 🤔

Why can’t we have a decent life working 40-50 hours a week? As soon as you figure out a way to make a dollar more, they’re going to take it away from you.

We're losing our health care here in Maine so Susan Collins can give billionaires like Elon Musk more tax cuts. I support Medicare for All so people across the state have health care.

🔥 @katiephang.bsky.social (With Deniro behind her): “I’m suing A.G. Todd Blanche — Trump’s cosplaying personal lawyer — for the unredacted Epstein files… as an independent journo 🗣️ I don’t have a corporate oligarch telling me what to say… Trump has been violating federal law every day.”

I’m so excited! The galley of #BlackForward arrived on my doorstep today! The book drops on Feb. 2. But I want to sell 5,800 copies by my 58th birthday on 11.14. Order here a.co/d/08y3eY8h or through your favorite bookstore. Let’s put this on the NY Times Books bestsellers list!

Sorry? Not sorry. If you're upset and trying to prevent history from being taught to hide the truth, then fuck your feelings. You learned nothing and are the exact same assholes as your ancestors.

Here’s the thing. Rula was already very clear about how racist and offensive “monkey” is when used against Black men. She knew exactly what that word meant. She knew exactly why it was unacceptable. Then she used it herself.

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

Andy Beshear, the Governor of Kentucky, can be reached at (502) 564-2611. A very nice lady will answer, and will direct you to a voicemail line where you can leave your thoughts about Mitch McConnell. Make sure to call be 5 eastern.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, teammates, and loved ones of Nolan Xavier Wells. Too many Black men and boys are denied the opportunity to grow older, to fulfill their purpose. May his legacy live on through all who knew and loved him ❤️

I’ve spoken with Jason Watson. He knew exactly what this would cost him. He gave up his military career to take a brave stand for democracy. Patriotism that only works with obedience isn’t patriotism.

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

And don't forget: we don't have to help Bezos get richer. A lot of products on the Amazon site can be purchased directly from the vendor on their own website.
