A Dangerous Precedent: Criminalizing Black Womenβs Leadership
The arrest of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver during a visit to a migrant detention facility in Newark is about authoritarianism, not justice.
Read @glyndacarr.bsky.socialβs latest @wordinblacknews.bsky.social op-ed. The arrest of @replamonica.bsky.social isnβt about law enforcementβitβs about punishing Black women for leading with integrity.

@algreen.house.gov stood up for the people, and Congress sat him down for it. Imagine getting censured for defending Medicaid while the House tolerates insurrectionists. History wonβt remember the boos, but itβll remember the courage. Keep shaking that cane, Congressman.

Earlier this week, @replamonica.bsky.social (NJ-10) introduced the #MERITAct to reinstate federal workers unjustly fired under Trump & Muskβs DOGE. With 66 cosponsors & union backing, it restores jobs, back pay & justice. Black women are leading the fight β when #BlackWomenLead, the people win.

I walked out because I refused to sit through one of Donald Trumpβs lie-filled speeches. His actions threaten to rip food from the tables of families who rely on SNAP, gut Medicaid, and heβs already put federal workersβmany of them in the #FightingFifth βon the chopping block.

A cover photo that reads: Rep. Ayanna Pressley walks out during Trump speech in protest
Rep. Ayanna Pressley walks out during Trump speech in protest:
βI attended this joint session tonight to honor my guest Claire, a former HUD employee who was unjustly terminated as part of Elon Musk and Donald Trumpβs unprecedented and unlawful attacks on our federal workers. Federal workers like her make our communities stronger, and I was proud to uplift their experiences by having Claire as my distinguished guest tonight.
βHowever, I could not in good conscience sit through this speech and give an audience to someone who operates with lawless disregard for Congress and the people of this nation. Donald Trump has used his bully pulpit to spread lies, demonize vulnerable communities, and double down on the hurt, hate, and harm in his first 43 days in office. He does not respect Congress as a co-equal branch of government, and he has spent his time in office attacking our communities and letting an un-elected, unaccountable billionaire ransack our federal agencies and gut the essential services our families depend onβall to enrich themselves and their billionaire friends.
βThis speech was just a reminder of that. It was chilling.
βI remain squarely focused on my constituents, our community, and working to do everything I can to stop this Republican majority from making horrific cuts to Medicaid, halting cancer research, and attacking our dedicated federal workers.β
I walked out.

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech."
This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.

-dehumanize immigrants, BIPOC folks, & trans kids
-brag about unjustly firing federal workers
-read from Putin's dictator self help book
What we won't hear is why he's gutting government services to enrich himself & his billionaire friends.
