BREAKING: #ElizabethWarren is leaving the race. I am in mourning for our nation. Her exit is clear evidence of the level of trauma we have suffered over the last 3yrs; causing us to cling to the familiar, stunting our capacity to dream, limiting faith.
nytimes.com/2020/03/05/us/…
We MUST remove Trump. Our democracy will not hold another 4 yrs of the Trump admin, GOP Senate and white nationalist judges. The lesson of #SuperTuesday is this: To win, we MUST heed the pain of those who’ve borne the brunt of and are VOTING in the context of Trump’s terror!
REMEMBER: In the middle of terror, dreaming becomes nearly impossible.When terrorized, you literally have ONE GOAL: Make it stop.
And remember this: There is truly ONE QUESTION facing our nation as we choose between the two remaining viable candidates:

“WHAT TIME IS IT?”

Is it time for revolution?
Or is it time to stabilize the nation and rebuild in the direction of change?

That is the question.
In case you missed my #SuperTuesday take, here it is:

Have you checked in with your family and friends, today? I’ve connected with almost everyone. Everyone is well and prepared.

Let’s take this #covidcraycray as an opportunity to knit together our shattered world. 1/ #Covid_19 #CoronaOutbreak
Here’s a family check-in checklist:
* Check on your elders.
* Make sure everyone has at least two weeks worth of frozen/canned goods, toiletries, toilet paper and prescriptions.
* Make plans for how you will care for each other in case there is need. 2/ #Covid_19 #COVID
Contact your “In case of emergency” people and make sure they have your medical info. (Preferred hospital, Health Insurance ID#, medical allergies). 3/ #Covid_19 #COVID

Poverty is the core driver of #Abortion. We MUST hold politicians accountable when they say they are “pro-life” with one side of their tongues then advocate tax cuts for billionaires and cuts to Medicaid and Food Stamps and public education with the other. #freedomroadpodcast
When the GOP cut taxes for the uber-rich in 2017, they promised to pay for those cuts by cutting programs that help the poor. They followed through in 2019 with cuts to Food Stamps and continued cuts to Medicaid and the attempted annihilation of women’s health clinics. 2/
The normal impact of that legislation would have been a rise in abortion rates; as it was in 1980s with impact of Reaganomics and the impact of Bush 43 cuts to anti-poverty programs. 3/

So, what happened last night?
“Joseph R. Biden Jr. won in states where he didn’t campaign. He won in states where he didn’t have offices. He won in states where he was overwhelmingly outspent... He won in states where rivals had a better organization.” 1/
nytimes.com/interactive/20…
My first thought was: How can America choose a man who didn’t really even campaign and arguably lost every debate—even graded on a curve?
My first response was: This shows how profoundly patriarchal we are as a nation. And I still believe this. 2/

#SuperTuesday
But, I don’t think Biden’s wave was fundamentally abt patriarchy. Leading Black womxn across the US threw their weight behind #ElizabethWarrenforPresident. I was one of them. Yet, Biden won overwhelming support frm Southern Black women—who tend to be matriarchal. 3/ #imlistening

 While France seeks to further appease #Iran's mullahs, the Trump administration takes action against a large shipping network directed by & financially supporting the IRGC Qods Force & its terrorist proxy Hizballah.

Over the past year, the IRGC-QF has moved oil worth hundreds of millions of dollars or more through this network for the benefit of the Assad regime, Hizballah & other illicit actors. Senior IRGC-QF official & former Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi oversees this sprawling network.
@almostjingo @drawandstrike @SecStudiesGrp @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @rising_serpent @cvpayne @HNIJohnMiller 3)
“Iran continues to take provocative actions to destabilize the region/world. Treasury’s action against this oil network makes it clear that those purchasing Iranian oil are directly supporting Iran’s militant/terrorist arm, the IRGC-Qods Force,” said Treasury Sec. Mnuchin.

#BREAKING: Internal @Facebook docs about to be made published. Watch this space.
@facebook For quick ‘where are we now?’ — these docs are central to US lawsuit brought by Six4Three, a startup that sued FB over access to FB user data. They’re still sealed in the US, though UK parliament seized them last week
@facebook And it’s all a bit dodgy, with @DamianCollins, Six4Three and certain media outlets (not naming them, but you can guess) all having a vested interest in these docs being made public
