I have been saying this since 2016. Everyone listens to WIIFM- “What’s In It For Me”. We need to tell them in unique detail. I am so impressed with Zohran. We need more like him, and the Brandon’s in Baltimore and Chicago!

Consequences: beyond trial and punishment for every illegal act. America needs to amend our constitution, returning power to the people.
A #21stCenturyBillofRights.

Our constitution is old and focused on what the state cannot do to us. It does not affirm the rights we take for granted🧵

Trump called the generals and flags together to get them to send American troops after Americans. He is declaring war.

This is why I say- when Americans* put this man in office- all of this- his lunacy and stupidity- was known or knowable. So why did we* do it? The only thing that makes sense is that we* took an irrational decision that aligns with our* irrational racism. (*White Americans mainly)

Sherrilyn is right. Right thing AND popular thing to do. All of the positions on the left are popular- from voting to sensible gun control to abortion. These are our values. When we allow slick pundits to launder our message to gain the fickle center is when we lose the people.

“This isn’t the America I know”

Black People:

When (if) we get past this dark era, we need a serious investment in mental health services.

This is why we said to pay attention to their anti- DEI rhetoric. Some people didn’t think that was too serious or maybe secretly agreed. But the rhetoric is pretext to remove their political foes, and satisfy their racist impulses. Just as this irrational crackdown has real harmful intent.

This is, of course, illegal.

This is not the most important thing. But @symonedsanders.bsky.social is brilliant, beautiful and always always ALWAYS put together. #slayseverynight

I don’t think we can understate how much trouble we are in. Our children’s life expectancy just took a nose dive. For no reason whatsoever. God help us.

One “right” is enshrined in the constitution. The other is not. We need a #21stCenturyBillofRights

Please, someone in Iowa go film a heartfelt thoughts and prayer post for her in a graveyard.

Now ask yourself-

Why does this administration have no problem offending family members of Union soldiers or the enslaved, but when it comes down to offending confederate sympathizers that calls for the erasing of history?🧐

This is the signal to ICE: Don’t arrest white people

It’s brilliant- and backed by studies and science.

i want white people to fight this and i want white people to also start accepting the horrors of slavery too. like we can be mad at DT and what he might do with the archives, but i also had a white person tell me slavery wasnt that bad cause we got blue jeans and iphones so like ya know.

There is so much to unpack in this unhinged tweet. But let’s focus on the racism at the heart of it, at the heart of the anti-DEI project that he is committed to. See how tempting it is for some Americans? It’s a dangerous gateway to the oppression we are seeing in our cities.

And to broadcast his racism to the receptive cult members

This isn’t about crime.

13 of the 20 U.S. cities with the highest murder rates are in red states—Trump never names them.

Instead, he targets blue cities in blue states with Black mayors & declining crime.

Trump is fabricating crises to grab power & mask his political weakness.

This is why the anti-DEI platform
is at the CENTER of the Trump agenda. It should not be simply appeased or ignored.

This is an outrage.

Follow up question: and why do you ban books about slavery?

Didn’t the Supreme Court rule on this the last time he was in office?
