White supremacists will never, EVER, live in a world where they will see their fantasies come true which is why they rely on violence -
@AOC
taking us to churchhhhhhh
Y’all are mad at Joaquin Castro but not mad at a stadium full of people saying “send her back” or “shithole countries” the double standard. Also activists use public records a bunch.
What is happening in Colombia, the mass state murder in Brasil, the daily escalating violence against Palestinians, watching people in India suffer from a neglecting PM is exactly why we must be internationalists in struggle.
This is not a red wave a red tsunami. Honestly it’s one of the best midterms for an incumbent President ever. Does that mean we have to continue, obvi AND it’s because of the hard work of ORGANIZERS and progressive orgs that did this. Period dot.
I AM LIVID. Here’s why.
- I have been sick for weeks and haven’t been able to get a easy test.
- My uncle has been on a ventilator for a whole week.
- My Aunt passed away last night.
The government needs to
#PutPeopleFirst
and provide REAL relief + PPE & testing!
One thing I’m going to be talking a lot more about is COVID how it felt, how it’s absolutely Fucked me up. Not for a pity party but let’s actually talk about the lasting physical and metal effects
At every single debate
@JulianCastro
has named the names of victims of police violence. EVERY 👏🏾SINGLE 👏🏾DEBATE 👏🏾. No matter who you support this is important and should be uplifted by anyone who calls themselves a progressive or leftist.
#DemDebate
They are actively writing manifestos. They are acting on an ideology. This is a mission of white supremacy that is seeping through these men and murdering people because they think it’s their duty. We must end white supremacy and we must end gun violence.
Congratulations to Bernie and the organizations on the ground that put in the work.
And.... for all the folks asking Warren to drop out instead of Pete, Steyer, Bloomberg or Biden whom are not fighting in our interests at ALL. Have several seats.
Today marks the 110th anniversary of the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire.
Because of employers prioritizing capital over people (as they do to this day) 146 workers died.
The International Ladies Garment Workers Union grew in the aftermath and fought for change.
Pelosi says from jump invoke 25th or we will move forward with impeachment shout out to
@IlhanMN
&
@AyannaPressley
for calling it early and leading this fight
We spend $750 billion annually on "defense" and the center of American government fell in two hours to the duck dynasty and the guy in the chewbacca bikini
Today the financial markets crashed again, Biden’s team is looking into Jamie Dimon who was Chief at Chase Bank during the financial crisis. So folks should vote for
@BernieSanders
You know what’s sexist,
@SenatorSinema
?
Watching women account for 100% of recent job loss & minimum wage workers suffering during a pandemic, then voting NO to raise their wages.
#RaiseTheWage
#FightFor15
Just to be clear
#StimulusChecks
is the BARE MINIMUM of what the government should be doing. They should be ensuring
- Everyone gets paid until pandemic is done.
- Creating long term federal jobs programs for all.
#JobsAndCare
- Cancelling Rent.
It’s actually simple.
Remember when I said I was livid well here is
#MYCovidStory
I am a New Yorker. This week I lost two family members, I prayed for my uncle but unfortunately he passed last night. I don’t need your thoughts & prayers we need action.
#PutPeopleFirst
I’ve drafted & deleted several tweets about how I’m actually nervous about Pete’s rise, billionaires hopping in at last minute. Y’all this isn’t funny, it’s not cute. Also anyone who is like oh Bloomberg no big deal needs to talk to a New Yorker.
In a year where workers should actually be Time person of the year because of historic number of strikes + people not wanting to go back to jobs that treat them like shit they make the person of the year the biggest anti-worker lord.
The online left sometimes makes folks want to leave movement because there is no room to grow. The absolutist statements sometimes legit make ppl leave. I am REALLY glad the internet wasn't around in 2008 when I joined movement because I had room to grow. 1/
There are some people on social media that are up in arms that Easter fell on Trans Day of Visibility Day but have no problem with Jesus birthplace being bombed on Easter. This is when y'all telling on yourselves. Oh yea & Free Palestine.
Unpopular opinion. I wish housing, reproductive justice, climate change, police brutality, mass incarceration, unions got at least half of the airtime healthcare has gotten through a year of debates
#DemDebate
Dear Everyone in the media,
Give Elizabeth Warren a dang cover shoot with Bailey and her hybrid car! (I don’t know if she has a hybrid but it just seems like it)
Signed,
The rest of us.
Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico and the millions of U.S. citizens who live there. The Trump Administration's response was slow and ineffective—but one of the biggest constraints holding back the recovery has been Puerto Rico's debt.
Tonight was a perfect example of why pop culture is critical to shift narratives.
After tonight millions will be looking up why a union protects you at work
AND
Colonialism and honestly let the people look it up and question!
As a Tennessean, it makes me sick that there are monuments standing in our state that celebrate racist historical figures who did evil things. Edward Carmack and Nathan Bedford Forrest were DESPICABLE figures in our state history and should be treated as such.
Liz Warren is teaching a master class tonight. She isn’t taking media induced feud bait, when other people are fighting she says you know what will work, she is BBQing a Billionaire, has been centering race tonight. Yes President Warren
#DemDebate
Here’s what I’m going to be fighting for
✴️ 16 million new clean jobs
✴️ Cancelling Student Debt
✴️ Healthcare for anyone & everyone
✴️ The right to organize
✴️ Cancelling rent and guaranteed housing for our communities
✴️ Defund the police and invest in education!
Can I just say
@AOC
is holding
@AyannaPressley
reassuring her in her presence. These are fighters and this is what solidarity looks like. People saying enough is enough.
#CloseTheCamps
For all the women voting today that are ragey they can’t vote for a woman. Vote for the person that didn’t preside over the confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas, that was totally terrible to Anita Hill.
#SayItAintJoe
Vote for Bernie
Yes I’m pushy & if
@ewarren
calls us that it means it’s working, I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to push the next President of the United States. P.S. when does a presidential candidate is the US says she’s actually moving her stance on things because of BW? I’ll wait.
We also use mass hysterectomies currently in prisons across the country and was used to sterilize a whole generation of Puerto Rican’s. White supremacy is engrained deep and we must not allow this continue.
🚨The ICE Detention mass hysterectomies are NOT America’s 1st use of eugenics. Prior to WWII, the US sterilized ~70,000 ppl to breed out feeble mindedness, minorities, the disabled & more. American eugenics contributed to the rise of Nazi Germany then, & we’re doing it again now.
In 2012 I had an abortion, I wasn't ready in any means to have a child I am 1 in 4 and
#YouKnowMe
. Post procedure I immediately cried, it was one of the hardest decisions to make but I would have not been able to grow the way I did the last 7 years if I didn't make that decision
1 in 4 women have had an abortion. Many people think they don't know someone who has, but
#youknowme
. So let's do this: if you are also the 1 in 4, let's share it and start to end the shame. Use
#youknowme
and share your truth.
I watched Jeopardy with my abuelo every night when I was a kid and anytime I came over as an adult. It was my most memorable moments of our time together. Rest in Power Alex Trebek
A reminder anti means against, fa is short for fascism, put it together and you get the short hand for anti-fascist (antifa) my family who fought in WWII were anti-fascist, the people who went on the brigades to Spain against Franco were anti-fascist.
“The term “marijuana” itself was racialized, meant to associate the plant with Mexican-origin people, stigmatizing both. And ever since, Black and Brown communities have suffered disproportionately from draconian enforcement of anti-marijuana laws. “🧵
The very real issue was that cities were poor.
The very real issue was that crack was charged way more than cocaine which had per number more white users.
The very real issues is that Joe Biden is lying.
This is fucking bullshit the level of anti Semitism there is in this country is why we’ve seen shootings of synagogues and property being vandalized. Sending love to
@BernieSanders
who should not have to deal with this hate and EVERYONE should condemn this behavior
Re:
@JoeBiden
today on the View - he clearly is someone unapologetic about his authenticity, sincere and genuine in his apology, has a vision for America and understands how we relate to the rest of the world. Such a stark contrast from what we have now. Whew!
Dear Democrats,
You are in charge. Want to protect abortion? Get rid of the filibuster and pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
Instead of tweeting you can do something about it. Actually do it!
Elizabeth Warren G and Tio Bernie Sanders are the ONLY candidates not catering to Wall Street big money donors. Remember that this whole primary season. It’s exactly why bankers and the establishment are afraid of these two.
This is a list that includes people who said fire R. Kelly, leaders of street movement in Ferguson, Activists, families, working class black women and more and it’s huge!
#BWFWarren
This is the most 2020 thing. Give an Emmy to a man for performing on television while thousands of New Yorkers died on his watch.
While he cut Medicaid and healthcare benefits for New Yorkers.
I can’t.
Gov Andrew M Cuomo of NY will receive the International Emmy Founders Award in recognition of his leadership during the Covid19 pandemic & his masterful use of TV to inform & calm people around the world. The Emmy will be presented to
@NYGovCuomo
on Nov 23
I legit can not as someone who had COVID, who is still struggling with symptoms and lost two family members

What’s great about No NBA today is that they are showing that they won’t just wear

@TealBomb
People are really writing a bunch of think pieces when the opposition is really clear and tweeting about it. No need to write your pieces thanks lol
Happy
#PresidentsDay
I would not like the person who ordered this arrest & violently removed Occupy Wall Street to be President.
Psst the person was Mike Bloomberg
If I see thoughts and prayers I’m going to lose it.
Legit End White Supremacy.
Asian fam out here getting killed because of the hatred spewed by 45 and because of a deep legacy of white supremacy in this country.
What can we do to make a real difference in Cleveland, MS where families can’t afford the skyrocketing costs of living expenses? We put more money into housing so everyone can have a safe and affordable place to live.
I am gutted, I am saddened I am absolutely devastated. Michael was a constant presence in our house when he was a young dancer. He grew up as my cousins best friend. A member of our fam gone. Rest in Power Mike
NOPE. We had 50K people in the streets on Father’s Day for the
#SilentMarchNYC
to your house in 2012. I know because I and a lot of people organized the damn thing.
Former NYC Mayor
@MikeBloomberg
tells
@GayleKing
"nobody asked" him about stop & frisk until he started running for president.
"I'm sorry. I apologize. Let's go fight the NRA and find other ways to stop the murders and incarceration. Those are things that I'm committed to do."
Just to be clear.
Majority white folks w/ guns stormed capitols across the country weeks ago to reopen gov’t during a pandemic.
little to no one called them violent.
Uprisings happen across the country & apparently were to blame for stuff like an NYPD car running into us.
I’m actually kind of livid. Y’all said it would happen on Day 1.
Y’all said Warrens plan had to wait for term 2 and we couldn’t. Well four years is also a transition. I want October and November back.
Ahhh happy birthday to
@ewarren
she’s checked in on me during COVID and called me recently to tell me to keep up the fight. She’s a real one! Feliz cumpleaños!

@SecretaryPete
: " If an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach, [...] in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices."
