The GOP is threatening to tank the entire economy in the name of โ€œfiscal responsibility.โ€

Whatโ€™s responsible about tanking the economy, exactly?

๐ŸงตMarjorie Taylor Greeneโ€™s words about Rep Bowman are a result of the exclusion of Black History being taught in schools

Stating she doesnโ€™t feel safe around a Black man is what a racist would say โ€” itโ€™s a line that has been used to justify the killing of Black men for centuries

George Floyd.
Trayvon Martin.
Breonna Taylor.
Ahmaud Arbery.
Jordan Neely.

Itโ€™s white supremacy thatโ€™s killing us.

I stand with Jamaal.

Sheโ€™s not a victim. Full stop.

This is the same playbook that perpetrators of police brutality and gun violence use to justify killing Black people.

โ€œI was afraid.โ€

After they killed Michael Brown.
After they killed Tamir Rice.
After they killed Philando Castile.

Not only is MTG a white supremacist, her playbook isnโ€™t even original and the response is all too predictable.

By drawing a false equivalency between being called a white supremacist vs. the n-word, and claiming she feared Rep. Bowman, sheโ€™s making herself out to be a victim.

Reparations Now!

Reparations Now!

Slavery.
Black codes.
Jim Crow.
Redlining.
Mass incarceration.

Every step of the way, Black Americans have been intentionally pushed back economically. A debt is owed.

Itโ€™s time to pay that debt. Itโ€™s time for reparations.

Black women carry more student debt than any other group in America โ€” and carry it the longest.

Itโ€™s no coincidence that the GOP is standing in the way of canceling student debt.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetzโ€™s PPP loans can be canceled, we can cancel student debt.

Thomas Helped Kill Eviction Ban Threatening Benefactorโ€™s Business Harlan Crowโ€™s company said tenant protections threatened its profits. Thomas twice voted to end them while Crow lavished him with gifts.

Four nights.
Five days.

Thatโ€™s how long we stayed on the steps of the Capitol demanding an extension to the eviction moratorium.

Meanwhile, Justice Thomas was looking out for his โ€œfriendโ€™sโ€ business.

Itโ€™s time to impeach him. https://t.co/STDc5ZuS3w

In 2023, over 400 anti-trans bills have been introduced across our country.

We need to call it what it is: a deliberate campaign by the GOP to erase trans people.

Itโ€™s an attack on human rights.
