Let’s be clear about what’s happening.
The President is failing. His agenda is deeply unpopular.
So he’s panicking, calling up governors and demanding they manipulate the maps so he and his loyalists can hold on to power.
He’s trying to steal your vote and silence your voice.

We’ll be taking our statewide tour to my hometown of Columbus this week with Leader Carolyn Hugley. Hope to see you there!

I support @jasonesteves for Governor of Georgia.
“As a Black man, I often get asked how I got to where I am. I wish that I could say it was solely because of hard work. But when I look at friends that I grew up with, I can only conclude that a big piece of it was luck. We need a governor who is going to build a state where your success in life is based on merit and not luck.”

This is what Donald Trump wants you to forget.
America never will.
Exclusive: The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History removed references to President Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit — an apparent change to its plans to update its collection of artifacts about the historic U.S. proceedings. wapo.st/3HdVwo2
Let’s be clear. Puerto Ricans are born US citizens since PR is a US territory.

This happened at The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture in Chicago's #HumboldtPark. This weekend it will be celebrating the Barrio Fest - a cultural activity for the community.

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."
Thank you @SenBooker

Proud of this Jersey Boy. Go @SenBooker Go!
From AOC in 2019. Dead on.
Calling on my senators @ossoff & @SenatorWarnock to vote NO on the GOP funding bill no matter what @SenSchumer does. Dems need leadership w backbone who will stand up for the people.

Republicans won the House, won the Senate, won the White House, brag about their mandate, refuse to negotiate, waited until the last second...
...but want to blame Democrats if there's a shutdown caused by *their own* incompetence?
Yeah, no. People see right though this shit.
#InternationalWomensDay. Today let us uplift the women who surround us. Am grateful for being a woman - I hold w/in me endless possibilities/hope of a glorious future; not only through my actions, but through the actions of the daughters who I pour my life's force into.

🧵 ‘Remembering Bloody Sunday…Restoring and Strengthening the Voting Rights Act’
Today marks the 60th anniversary of #BloodySunday, labeled as such because of the state-sanctioned violence inflicted upon marchers determined to end racist-laden voter suppression.
Bloody Sunday and the later march on Montgomery brought national attention to the injustice of voter suppression and to the inhumanity that transpired that day.
Bold, strategic nonviolent direct action, including the courageous commitment to dramatizing the issue and highlighting the injustice even in the face of violence, shifted public opinion and contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Today, some of the protections against racial discrimination in voting and representation found within the VRA of 1965 have been rolled back and gutted by the Supreme Court, and others are currently threatened.
Let’s remember.
Let’s honor.
Let’s act.
We implore you to call your Congress members.
Tell them to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Amplify the #JohnLewisVRAA.
Advocate for its passing,
