Win or lose, a lot more people voted for him this year, after watching him as president* for four years, than voted for him last time. These are people you work with. Perhaps you live near. Go AZ, WI, MI & GA.
Thank you US Congresswoman @RepJayapal . Where were the Federal Agents in the state of Michigan when white people carrying confederate flags, swaztikahs, assault rifles and nooses stormed state capitals to protest wearing masks #covid19?
While calling for the Governor of Michigan to be lynched. Yet, #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 protestors and allies are met with federal force during peaceful protests. barr, who is allegedly the US Attorney General, offered nothing. He’s a partisan hack doing 46-1’s bidding. #vote
We go hard, especially during Homecoming, because HBCU’s represent the four years in our lives in which we weren’t the minority, an affinity group, an ERG, or an afterthought. HBCU’s; It’s Black sacred ground.
It’s a family reunion, a block party, a cookout, a kickback, a fashion show, a festival, a black power rally, a revival, an oasis, a physical, and spiritual baptism in Blackness. #ifyouknowyouknow
Remove the names of slave owners, traitors, separatists, & domestic terrorists from the military bases. #america#blm #veteran
The Senate overwhelmingly passed a massive defense bill Thursday afternoon that includes the removal of Confederate names amp.usatoday.com/amp/5495545002
from army bases and creates a possible showdown between Congress and President Donald Trump, who opposes renaming the bases.
The bill passed by a lopsided count of 86 to 14, well over the number required to override a presidential veto.
The bill, which authorizes $736.9 billion in military spending, includes a provision to form a commission on the names of military bases and rename bases over the next three years.
Again, I have no respect; no admiration; no reverence for the #confederacy . Their goal was the continued enslavement, raping, murder, separating of families and oppression of my people. This is the heritage of the confederacy - there is no romanticizing that. #blacklivesmatter
On Nov. 13, 1862, the Confederate government advertised in the Charleston Daily Courier for 20 or 30 “able bodied Negro men” to work in the new nitre beds at Ashley Ferry, S.C. “The highest wages will be paid monthly,” the ad stated.
It was odious work. The nitre beds were large rectangles of rotted manure and straw, moistened weekly with urine, “dung water,” and liquid from privies, cesspools and drains, and turned over regularly, according to accounts at the time.
Let’s look at this, the Senate has “an affluent membership” composed mostly of white men, who are about 30% of the population but hold 71 of the seats” out of 100. Source- The Guardian.com May 20, 2019. White men are 30% of the U.S. Population.
White men are 30% of the U.S. Population. @senatemajldr & @realdonaldtrump have confirmed their 200th FederalJudge. 76% are men and of this number 85% are white men. Did you get that? 85% of newly confirmed judges are white men.
#moscowmitch has confirmed mostly young, conservative white men to the federal bench to life time appointments for a reason.
On November 22, 2014, Tamir Rice was throwing snowballs and playing with a toy pellet gun in a Cleveland park when a police car rolled into the snowy field. Within two seconds of getting out of his squad car, white police officer
white police officer Timothy Loehmann shot and killed the 12-year-old. The officer claimed he thought the pellet gun was a real firearm.
America’s systemic marginalization, criminalization and subordination of black and brown bodies killed Tamir, the officer merely fired the gun.
#america#blacklivesmatter #TamirRice#neverforget Murdered by a racist. Snatched from his mother, his father, his family and his friends. Catalyst for action. Sober reminder of our continuous struggle.
