Please. This.

I know we are tired. I sure am. I feel like I’ve been fighting for what’s right 24/7 since that orange snake slithered down that gilded escalator. His evil has encouraged the evil in others.

It’s always on us to fix it. But the alternative for us is death.
Yes, we will have to organize AGAIN.

Yes, we will have to register (and in some states RE-register due to their suppression tactics) to vote AGAIN.

Yes, we will have to donate to Democratic candidates even in states we may not live in AGAIN.
Yes, we will have to vote AROUND the things newly put in place to make voting even harder for US.

Our ancestors had to count how many marbles were in a jar.

Our ancestors like @repjohnlewis were literally BEATEN.

Our ancestors like #MLK were assassinated.

This is our portion.
This is our fight.

This is our civil rights movement.

TODAY.
NOW.

And yes, it sucks that we are in 2022 and we still have to fight to be seen and treated as equal in a country they STOLE from Native Americans — a country WE built.

It’s a tale as old as time.
Racism & hate LIVE in them. That mess is their primordial ooze to slither out of—or not.

OUR source is divine.

We love. We share. We celebrate. We build.
WE always BUILD.

And just as we built this country we will build a way around their suppression of our votes & our Spirit.
Take a moment.
Take a knee.
Catch your breath.

And then, RISE UP and fight — AGAIN.

That is what WE do. That is how WE’RE made.

And we will do it for the ancestors who carried OUR dreams this far on their backs.

We will carry the next generation’s on ours!

WE must.
It’s is dark right now. But WE are the Light.

We can do this AGAIN.

We MUST do this AGAIN.

WE will do this again because it is OUR lives and livelihoods on the line AGAIN.

So we fighting’ or naw?

Kidding.

We FIGHTIN’! #SuitUp

❤️✊🏾

Know what’s wack?

Every time a Democrat is elected President, it comes after some Republican yahoo has ran up the deficit, started a war or FULLY spearheaded the rebirth of racism & white supremacy via a four letter cult.

1/
The Democratic President gets in & gets right to work. They get as many laws passed—the kind that actually help people!—that disgruntled Republicans allow & work to fix the economy.

They are judged, ridiculed & doubted every step of the way — even by some fellow Democrats.

2/
Democratic Presidents are never allowed to truly set an agenda & get busy implementing it on day 1 because they always have to clean up the 💩show from the previous GOP Administration.

Think about it. Do a deep dive if you must.

I’ll wait ‘cause I know what I said is true.

“You have to be 3x better & work 3x harder just to get HALF of what they are freely given.”

Imagine Obama doing ANYTHING TFG did.

Sadly, I can’t compare @SenatorSinema’ antics to the excellence of a Black woman in the Senate because:

🗣 THERE AREN’T ANY BW IN THE SENATE‼️
All the care and flair she puts into her curated appearance every single day yet when scheduled to preside over the Senate of the United States of America @SenatorSinema chooses to wear this?!

It’s not about fashion or taste, it’s about the solemnity of the moment. #Sheesh!
It shows a lack of respect for the position she holds and for the Arizonians who placed her there. @SenatorSinema represents THEM. And she chooses to show up in their name like this?!

Then Senator now @VP #KamalaHarris would NEVER.

🚨THREAD!🚨

Okay Californians, this is an emergency! I’ve been out of the loop on the recall of @GavinNewsom but just heard that there’s only TWO questions on the recall ballot.

1) Should Gavin be recalled

&

2) Who should replace him, if he is.
If more than 50% of the voters say @GavinNewsom SHOULD be recalled, he will be — IMMEDIATELY.

If you’re a Democrat and that doesn’t scare ya, this will:

Whichever Republican gets name-checked the most for question two BECOMES CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR.
If you think what’s happening in Florida and Texas is scary, imagine what a Republican Governor could do in California.

#LarryElder and #CaitlynJenner are running. All it takes is for 50% of the voters to think it’d be funny to cite for one of them and we are toast!

But wait there’s MORE!

#HelloSomeBotty 🥴

Why do you need to do this “bowl of 💩” lady?!

ShontelBrown.com
This is getting embarrassing and this is only a smattering of those who popped in to attack me, my mom ❤️🕊, @ShontelMBrown or Democrats in general in the name of the “bowl of 💩” lady.

I am running for President of LA local of @sagaftra because I don’t believe divisiveness, lies & pettiness help US get things done. We’ve seen that mess play out in DC the last five years. It’s poison.. We are all on the SAME side. Campaign clean or not at all. #Sheesh #U4S
Further, taking jabs at someone who isn’t even running sounds like sour grapes from a past loss.

Celebrate your new quest to lead. Talk about the changes YOU want to bring.

If you can’t get folks excited about the idea of you w/o 💩ing on others. What does that say about you?
I don’t have beef with anyone. ❤️ I think we all want what’s best for actors because we are ALL actors.

We can disagree without being disagreeable. Everything isn’t a cage fight. NOTHING should be a fight to the death.

And if it is, check your Spirit.

As you all know, I am in Ireland & unable to come back home until August. My brother & I were just told that my mom’s building would not extend grace & allow us to continue to pay for her apt. thru Aug. when I’m back & can save him from having to remove her belongings on his own.
My brother held vigil by my mom’s bedside 12 hours a day while she was in the hospital. And held up cell using FaceTime for me for 12 more so I could see her face as we both held vigil when she was dying.

He has done ENOUGH on his own. 💔
I want to be there for my brother .
The person I just talked to — a woman named Blanca — refused to discuss the issue with me at all and told me her attorney would be handling it.

I asked, “Why is an attorney involved when it comes to dealing with grieving family members asking for kindness and grace?”
