The March to #DeliverForVotingRights in Phoenix Arizona is in #Solidarity with the legacies of Dr, King, John Lewis, and all those who have sacrificed so much to protect the right to vote. #GoodTrouble
Here in Phoenix we stand in #solidarity with the King family, Indivisible members nationwide and all Americans who cherish voting rights! @ezralevin@IndivisibleTeam
“We cannot be anyways tired, we cannot lose hope, because we’ve come much too far from where we started” - @OfficialMLK3
“The coup is ongoing, now it is fancy lawyers, it is corporate lobbyists, that are going to our statehouses and changing the laws to make it harder to vote, to make it harder, more importantly, to protect ourselves”@RepRubenGallego #DeliverForVotingRights #BeAHeroForVotingRights
“Today we are at a crossroads we have reached for the foreseeable future what may be our last best chance to rescue this nation from a generation of racist minority rule” @MondaireJones#DeliverForVotingRights#Arizona
“And of course we wouldn’t be in this situation if one major political party was not uniformly opposed to the exercise of the fundamental right to vote in this country” @MondaireJones
“If at the Statehouse it takes a simple majority to take away our rights it should take a simple majority to restore our rights… our time is now, our moment is here and the fight for democracy could not be more clear” @reginaldbolding
“I want you to start thinking of yourselves as founders of a new nation. A nation in which America is equitable and inclusive and just, and that all people are treated with dignity and respect” @MsLaToshaBrown
“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime.” @repjohnlewis#GoodTrouble
The Oath Keepers on #60Minutes tonight are the same group who bullied, harassed and intimidated students and senior citizens at a #BlackLivesMatter rally back in September.
It was nothing short of terrorizing under the guise of 'protecting downtown'.
Last week the #LofgrenReport published 177 pages detailing Paul Gosar's efforts to aid the 'Stop the Steal' movement and push the #BigLie that led to the 1/6 insurrection.
Notice that some tweets are still up & some are deleted. But there has been no retraction, apology, or acknowledgement of his role pushing the #BigLie & resulting insurrection or the promotion of the America First white nationalist agenda. #RemovePaulGosar
It's as though Paul is brazenly pushing it to see how much anti-democratic behavior large donors like @AmerDentalAssn@AmerAcadPeds & @SRPconnect will let him get away with.
Why do they continue to fund an insurrectionist who emboldens white nationalists? #RemovePaulGosar
1/ Truth and reconciliation are sequential. This is something that white people must come to grips with, too many white folks are inclined to want to just skip over the uncomfortable truth part to get to reconciliation.
<THREAD>
2/ That's not how it works. It is why we have these recurring cycles of violence going back generations, because white people can and do opt out of really wanting to know.
3/ Until something happens where they can't, but even then instead of confronting the uncomfortable truth of our shared past they choose to opt out by making it about themselves, and thus we have "All Lives Matter" intended to invalidate the lived experiences of black people.
