White supremacy. Structural white supremacy. Intransigent white supremacy. Rooted white supremacy. This is a dark day but there have been so many before.

"Blanket calls for D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood miss a critical difference: D.C. is the American capital. Puerto Rico is an American colony."
My bill with @RepAOC, HR 2070 is the only path that empowers Puerto Ricans to decide future political status.

Some hear the word #justice and immediately think of policing, jails, and prisons.
But justice is more than that.
Real justice in our communities is about access to:
▪️affordable housing
▪️trauma-informed healthcare
▪️quality education
▪️equitable economic opportunity
