Today marks the 66th Anniversary of the Brown v. Board Supreme Court decision declaring racial segregation unconstitutional. The case combined five cases but the very 1st case was Briggs v. Elliot a case challenging school segregation practices in Summerton, SC. #BrownvBoard
The families involved suffered tremendously. Their lives and livelihoods were threatened. Nonetheless, they persisted.

One of my greatest joys working for @WhipClyburn was helping to write the law & design the congressional gold medal to honor these patriots. #BrownvBoard Image
We’ve made progress but there are many inequities like funding and broadband access that we have yet to tackle! Time to roll up our sleeves and get to it! #BrownvBoard

Wisconsin, there are some great Democratic downballot candidates that you need to learn about ahead of Election Day.

Take a look at this thread below:
@tammybaldwin is running for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and needs your support to keep getting the job done!! We need to send her back to the Senate so @KamalaHarris can pass transformative legislation for the American people.

Wisconsin, let’s vote for Tammy Baldwin!
@RebeccaforWI is running to represent Wisconsin’s 3rd congressional district, and this election could determine control of the House of Representatives.

Her opponent attended Trump’s rally on January 6 and is one of the most divisive members of Congress. Let’s elect Rebecca Cooke and bring common sense back to the House!

Still thinking about how incredible this year’s Democratic National Convention was… here are some of my favorite moments 🧵
I launched my TikTok account before the convention began, and got to highlight some fun moments and give you a behind-the-scenes look at the party of the summer!
I also had a great time taking part in the Sexy Liberal Podcast recording with @StephMillerShow, @JBPritzker, @MarkHamill, @janschakowsky, and @JillWineBanks!!

As we brought voices of voters of color to the forefront and embarked on the most inclusive Democratic primary in history, Democrats across the country – from South Carolina to Nevada, from Michigan to Georgia – have chosen @JoeBiden to be our party’s presumptive nominee. Image
Four years ago, President Biden ran on the values that bring us together: honesty, decency, and fairness. We've made historic progress — creating 15 million jobs, lowering prescription drug costs, and rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure — but there is more work to be done.
This November we face two different visions for America.

Donald Trump is running a campaign focused on revenge, retribution, and his own self-interest. President Biden is running a campaign focused on what makes our country so great: the American people.

🧵 Sharing a life lesson I learned as a young staffer for @RepJamesClyburn.

One day I was complaining to the Congressman about the need for more youth involvement. He agreed but cautioned me to not be singularly focused on age. He said: “Jaime, which would you prefer an old Thurgood Marshall or a young Clarence Thomas?”

In the end it isn’t about the age of a leader, but the values, perspectives, & fundamental beliefs of that leader.
Joe Biden’s age and experiences have provided him wisdom, insight, empathy, and a fundamental understanding that the American Dream is meant for all of America’s people.

Biden inherited the reins of a nation in the midst of a pandemic, with a crippled economy, and a democracy bludgeon from an insurrection… but despite it all he brought us back from the brink of disaster and achieved some of the greatest legislative achievements of a generation. From investing in the nation’s infrastructure, to creating millions of new jobs by rebuilding our manufacturing capacity, to repairing our reputation on the world stage, to lowering healthcare costs & investing in the fight against the climate crisis, Joe Biden navigated the chaos of Washington and delivered for America.
I can’t say that about an old and unhinged, twice-impeached, Donald Trump, who has done so much to destroy our democracy, abandon our foreign allies, embrace brutal dictators, attack our nation’s veterans, and rip away the fundamental rights of women to control their own bodies. (There aren’t enough characters to cover all that he has done to hurt America and the American people.)

Thread: We’re launching a historic effort to reach voters where they are and in the languages they speak to ensure we are building a broad coalition of support as we head into election year 👇🏾

The stakes have never been higher and through this Get Out the Vote campaign in South Carolina and Nevada, voters will get the information they need in their local papers, on the airwaves, online, and in their communities to make their voices heard at the ballot box. I Will Vote and Get Out the Vote ads for the Nevada and South Carolina primaries
In South Carolina, we’re investing in a six-figure ad campaign to mobilize and reach Black voters, young voters, and rural voters. With this innovative campaign, we’re reaching voters to make sure the #FITN primary on February 3 is a success!
