This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This part is called: Achieving Racial Justice and Equity/Only one party has a specific plan for healing the wounds of systemic institutional racism & the legacy of slavery and for achieving equity-the other party denies they still hurt 1/12 
Historic wrongs & abuses against Native Americans, 2 1/2 centuries of slavery, a 100 yrs of Jim Crow & a history of exclusionary immigration policies have created profound & lasting inequities in income,wealth,education,employment, housing,environment & health care for #POC 2/12
#Democrats are committed to standing up to racism and bigotry in our laws, in our culture, in our politics, and in our society, and recognize that race-neutral policies are not sufficient to rectify race-based disparities. 3/12 #DemPartyPlatform #racialjustice #WealthGap
On Monday, I called on the CEO of @netflix to remove “Cuties” from his service due to the great harm it causes to kids in Louisiana and beyond.
This “film” whets the appetites of those who wish to harm our children in the most unimaginable ways – criminals my office spends countless hours finding, apprehending, and prosecuting.
By airing “Cuties” on such a large platform – Netflix is effectively normalizing horrific crimes on our most vulnerable and further emboldening manufacturers, possessors, and distributors of child pornography. They should #TakeItDown immediately!

You can claim "heritage not hate" all you want, but you can never avoid the fact that the Confederacy, and all its supposed heroes, stood for the enslavement of people who look like me.

The celebration of the Confederacy is simultaneously a veneration of race-based chattel slavery. Whether one intends this or not (and plenty do), the two cannot be separated. This is also why other Confederate monuments, emblems, and statues need to come down. #TakeItDown
