Domestic Terrorism

Black people can’t even sleep in bed safely at night without getting shot and killed by police. But when white nationalists attempt a coup, suddenly cops can’t even find their handcuffs. https://t.co/01Luv6s9bV

I'll say it again: there are no good Republicans. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Not only elected Republicans, but honestly, voters, too.

Just a reminder of what those Capitol steps looked like during BLM protests. Miss me with the “overwhelmed” and “unprepared” law enforcement. There’s no such thing. pic.twitter.com/tbVINclUHg

The way they would have dropped a whole bomb on the capitol if this was us.

Every single Black person, every single brown person, every single queer person I know was worried about THIS in 2016.

Most of us were called crazy or hysterical.

I saw more arrests during protests in Minneapolis this summer than I have watching people storm the US Capitol.

Why y’all keep asking where the police at? Y’all ask where Miley’s at when Hannah’s on stage?

Black people died for PEACEFULLY PROTESTING.

Stop saying the bullshit of this is not what our country is like or looks like. It’s ALWAYS been this. The audacity is just at an all time high and privilege is not being covered up. But America? Oh, AmeriKKKa is lookin real AmeriKKA right now…

With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go…but well done!

Love Black women every day, not just on election days.

Joy comes in the morning. Thank you, Georgia. pic.twitter.com/Dw8wPWAMeI

White women today: Thank you Stacey Abrams!!!!

Same white women tomorrow on Zoom w/ a Black woman at work: I just feel intimidated by you and don’t like your tone! I don’t feel comfortable working with you. (Insert tears) pic.twitter.com/esf0I6U71V

Not non-Black women saying "Black women are heroes", but gaslighting Black women at work, you actually hate to see that.

Dear white women praising Stacey Abrams, Okay now find the black women in your sphere, in your office, in your PTA and listen to them too. Stacey would want you to, and she wouldn't have to work so damn hard if we had already done this.

Now do you understand why Republicans suppress Black votes? I hereby declare that the Southern states are not red. They are suppressed.

— Midwin Charles, Esq. (@MidwinCharles) January 6, 2021

Now I’m waiting for a thousand stories with BLACK rural diners and BLACK suburban soccer moms in Georgia and why the Republicans did so poorly and how they need to change.

A Black man and a Jew winning election to the US Senate in the deep south is evocative of the old civil rights alliance in a way I find … emotionally resonant.

Congratulations to the new senators from Georgia, and to everyone who organized and voted to get them there. It's a new day. pic.twitter.com/OUdkopv96G

The Voting Rights Act was only signed 55 years ago. Tonight I'm thinking about all the Black folks in Georgia who have lived on both sides of it. Who voted in this election and who remember a time when they wouldn't have been able to. It wasn't that long ago. Not at all.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Reverend Raphael Warnock was polling at 9% when the Atlanta Dream and WNBA players threw their full support behind him and elevated his national profile. Now he’s Georgia’s first black Senator.

Rev. Warnock was Congressman John Lewis's pastor. Ossoff was Lewis's intern. And somewhere, somehow both near and far, I have to think that Rep. Lewis is saying, "Well done."
