Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

When you build warehouses and camps to imprison 10s of 1000s of ordinary folks you not only create fear, you create epidemics. This is a perfect storm--an admin that doesn't believe that measles vax are a good thing, and shoves people together under terrible conditions--this is how epidemics launch.

There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one. If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving. Either we all get saved or none of us do.

My grandpa John M. Perkins (94) is a civil rights icon; I routinely meet people from all over, who’ve heard or read one of his many lectures or books. Whenever he mentions the eldest son of his eldest son, he brags about my intellect—he knows I get it from him. He’s where I get my confidence from 🖤

Two things that shouldn’t be for profit: prisons and healthcare, because the incentive for harm is too great. Keep ’em sick. Keep ’em locked up. keep the checks coming.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

California’s #1 import is oil, much of it from Iraq. To get it, ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz, controlled by Iran. California is the 4th largest economy in the world and pays $90 billion more in federal taxes than it gets back, to subsidize red states. Have a nice day

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.
