I'm proud to announce my policy agenda to empower Michigan’s Black communities. For generations, Black communities in Michigan have received promises of federal investment that never fully arrived, or arrived without any way to track whether it actually improved people's lives.

Pete Hegseth is now going after service members and their families for speaking out about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, even after a sailor going overboard was confirmed. Instead of addressing those concerns, Hegseth says the reports are “completely misrepresented.”

Today in American history, Andrew Johnson avoided conviction for high crimes and misdemeanors for his obstructionism with Reconstruction post Civil War. Johnson repeatedly attempted to veto Reconstruction Acts, forcing Congress not only to override his veto, but to seek a supermajority to stop him.

Black text over a white page that reads: 

Today's Supreme Court decision is a direct assault on the promise of the Voting Rights Act. It risks disenfranchising millions of Americans along racial lines and weakening the very foundation of our democracy.

Democracy is not self-sustaining. We must build, preserve, and defend it together.

Here in New York City, we will always lead a government of, by, and for the people — all of the people.

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.
