"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute πŸ”₯

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

@governorwalz.mn.gov How do you feel about coming back to District 1 and Rochester to have a townhall? It seems Rep. Finstad is ignoring any event that isn’t Republican only 😬

Trump on β€œTruth Social”: β€œAll Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests.
Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Had the honor of attending Rare Disease Week on Capitol Hill this week and got to speak with multiple patients and advocates who were supposed to speak at this event. To say they were disappointed would be an understatement πŸ’”

Federal agencies bar Black History Month and other 'special observances' A number of federal agencies have banned celebrations related to MLK Jr. Day, Women's History Month and other such observances to comply with Trump's executive orders.

We know Black history is American history thanks to generations of Black Americans who worked and persevered to deliver on the promises of justice and equality for all.

MAGA can’t stop the generations of Black Americans who keep leading us to become a more perfect union.

Happy Black History Month.

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.

To my DISABILITY COMMUNITY in the FEDERAL workforce:

I know you are scared and frightened of retaliation. The stories of Federal workers being terminated for not having their reasonable accommodations met are DISGUSTING. I PLEAD for you to come forward & share info. Our country needs your voices.πŸ™πŸ’œ

To disabled/chronically ill people: activism takes on many forms. Refusing to go around a non-disabled person when they’re in your way/walking towards you is activism. Wearing a mask is activism. Caring for your LGBTQ+ friends is activism. You don’t have to use all your spoons to make a statement 🫢
