I would say I'm suspending #ROTR, but Truth is one. I've been carrying around a lot of frustration for a long time that I no longer have a campaign to divert my energy toward, so allow me to vent, #TeamPete. I am FURIOUS at how dirty the media did Pete during this campaign. 1/20
The press couldn’t write a nice word about him without repeating the lie that he had no Black support-- and it was a lie. SC isn't the only place Black voters live, and he had 10% in Illinois MONTHS ago, for instance. But beat that drum enough, and it became self-fulfilling. 2/20

I've been waiting to talk about why @PeteButtigieg's healthcare plan means so much to me for a few months, now, because talking about it felt like I was jinxing someone I love, but I just found out about an hour ago that they are being sent home from the hospital today to die.
@PeteButtigieg My mother's best friend since her freshman year of college is a woman I call Aunt Peggy. She and my mom have been friends longer than anyone else in either of their lives. Until late September of this year, Peggy was always the stronger, physically, of the two of them.
