7 years ago, President Obama nominated Debo Adegbile, leader of @NAACP_LDF, to lead the Civil Rights Division at DOJ. He was the perfect pick — decades of experience fighting for civil rights. But his nomination was met with vile & racist attacks that I won't repeat here. 2/13
Those vile & racists attacks were allowed to fester. In the end—because we in the civil rights & progressive community were not loud enough—his nomination failed in the Senate, despite a narrow Democratic majority. 7 Democrats, including 3 still in Congress, voted against him.

At the direction of the White House, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, in coordination with AG Jeff Sessions’ anti-immigrant DOJ, announced that he directed the Census Bureau to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census. nytimes.com/2018/07/24/us/…
45's attempt is blatantly political & would lead to an undercount that would lead to the taking of seats in the House of Representatives, electoral college votes, & federal funds from from big states with immigrants & give them to rural—mostly red—states.

Studies show that roughly 19% of foster youth identify as #LGBTQ. They experience worse safety, well-being & outcomes than non-LGBTQ youth. For states to improve these outcomes & identify best practices, data collection national data collection level is vitally important.
It is an unfortunate fact about our society, that parents sometimes reject their children for being #LGBTQ. LGBTQ children are disproportionately in foster care (1/5 foster youth) and homeless (2/5 homeless youth).
