In my recent graduation address to students at @Tougaloo_1869, I stated that I’m older than: Medgar Evers, MLK, & Malcom X were when they were assassinated. I am a few years younger than @BarackObama was when he was elected President.

No low is too low for MAGA… now explain to me why an institution would be receiving threats because of the commencement speech that I GAVE. This type of behavior is why I’m constantly having to be protected & I understand that truth telling in this country;

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️. Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires? (Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security) Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.

UPDATE: The House just passed the SAVE Act with a 220-208 vote that included 4 Democrats voting in support of the bill. This bill effectively codifies one of Trump's executive orders and will disenfranchise tens of millions of American voters.

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

Hate won the election! We are only UNITED in our current suffering! It’s sad that social issues that have nothing to do with if you have food, clothes, nor a home, divided us. The hate for groups of people allowed him to make us less safe domestically, economically, and frankly mentally.

The stock market is collapsing, and that means the retirement savings of everyday Americans are disappearing by the hour. This is all because of Trump's reckless mismanagement of the economy. Now, these tariffs that are being imposed will raise the cost of goods for everyday Americans.
