VP Kamala Harris: Our founders imagined that there would be a moment where there may be a tyrant occupying the White House. They created 3 co-equal branches of government. This is the moment where the voice and the power of the people influences another of those branches of government, Congress.

My response to the videos circulating online of white supremacists rallying on Danbury:
The videos circulating online of white supremacists rallying in Danbury are horrifying. This vile demonstration serves as a grim reminder that racism is not a problem of the past or confined to other places—it exists right here and is deeply traumatic for everyone who calls Danbury and Connecticut home. Hatred has no place in our communities, and we must confront it at every opportunity. While some may attempt to instill fear, we will not be deterred. 
In this moment, I am reminded of a quote, “There are two types of evil people in this world: those who commit evil acts, and those who witness evil and do nothing to stop it.” We stand firm in our commitment that the diversity makes our communities stronger and should be celebrated. 
I am in close communication with local leaders and will continue to assist in any way I can.

#ResistanceRoots Henrietta Lacks died on this day in 1951 in Baltimore, Md. She only became well-known for what she contributed after her death. However, she deserves to be remembered as a beautiful young mother who was much more than her immortalized human cell line used in medical research. /1
Henrietta Lacks, ca. late 1940s. Lacks is the unwitting mother of modern medical research whose exploitation forced the world to reinvent medical ethics. As the source of the HeLa cell line, she unknowingly gave humanity its first “immortal” human cells, enabling medical advances that have touched millions of lives worldwide. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is the stark reality of paternalistic, Jim Crow-era medicine, where a poor Black woman’s body could be harvested without her knowledge or informed consent. For decades, Henrietta was reduced to an anonymous laboratory code. Today, her descendants, artists and global communities have fought to ensure she is remembered as a person. Her final resting place is marked with a granite headstone honoring her not just as a medical miracle, but as a mother who loved to cook, wear bright red lipstick, and take care of her family.
