Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers: “I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid” "It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. " #SOTU

Congressman Green removed. I am so proud of that man right now. More need to do this. Notice that a Black man was the first to stand up in front of the world against trump during this.

Not one single Democrat should be standing or clapping. Not. One. Single. One. Voting at local levels matter. Pay attention.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

I’m seeing a lot of “the events in the White House don’t reflect who we are”… Please stop. It is historically who we are…it’s how we got to this in the first place. They didn’t want a woman of color in a position of power.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.

The US Army Chorus performed two numbers from Les Mis at the Governors Ball. The first song, "One Day More," is about the people rising up to overthrow the corrupt government. They also sang "Master of the House" directly to the Trumps. It's about personal corruption. youtu.be/pIQh_5dZUwI?...

What happens if the courts can't stop the Trump Administration? “Then we’ve got to take to the streets in a different way,” Anthony Romero, the executive director of the A.C.L.U., tells David Remnick. “We've got to shut down this country.”

Professor Eddie S. Glaude: “The irony, he holds a Black History Month Reception as he’s issued all these executive orders around DEI. Touts the importance of Black folk to the history of the country mentioning Tiger Woods, Kobe guess that’s what we’re reduced to, athletics entertainment I suppose.”

So…whenever a cis white man shoots up a building…they scream mental health, not guns. With that brain worm lunatic at the helm and deciding that Americans don’t need medication for mental health issues…what are they planning to blame it on? 🤔

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.
