California! You’ve got a big choice to make by September 14, and everything is on the line. Your vote could be the difference between protecting our kids or putting them at risk; helping Californians recover or taking us backwards. Vote “no” on the Republican recall.

What an honor it was to be at an event like today! The city of San Jose dedicated a street after @BarackObama and asked me to do live a painting. 🎨 It was an awesome day, thank you Mayor @sliccardo and senator @DaveCortese for having me ✌🏾@BarackObama @ChelseaClinton pic.twitter.com/fOSu1budZq

Today is a moment shaped largely by the Black women who have long played a crucial role in our democracy. Their pragmatism helped nominate Biden; their insistence helped nominate Harris. Their determination helped to elect them both.

When the Constitution was written in Philadelphia more than 220 years ago, the founding fathers couldn’t imagine that a Black woman would one day help govern this country.

During @KamalaHarris’ time as D.A. in SF, she refused to prosecute sex workers even when the police decided to unilaterally organize their own stings. The cops were furious with her.

Glue your wigs down y’all — @nikisolisSF — a 20+ year veteran public defender — went on Democracy now with Lara Bazelon — who wrote the NYT hit piece against @KamalaHarris at the beginning of the primary.
Child.....
It did NOT go well for Ms. Bazelon.

I’ve known Senator @KamalaHarris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. This is a good day for our country. Now let’s go win this thing. pic.twitter.com/duJhFhWp6g

Back when Kamala was Attorney General, she worked closely with Beau. I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse. I was proud then, and I'm proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign.

The image this woman chose to illustrate her oppression is Anastácia, an enslaved African in 1700s Brazil. Her mistress ordered that iron spike torture device put to deform her face and squeeze her neck out of rage and jealousy that her husband wouldn't stop raping Anastácia. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/6FZTpuXi2O
— Uju Anya (@UjuAnya) May 19, 2020
Story also says Anastácia knew medicinal cures, healing practices and was painfully muzzled to curtail her influence. In time, she became a revered saint among Brazilian Catholics and Umbanda practitioners. More popularly, she's a symbol of Black women's power and resistance. 2/3 pic.twitter.com/Za9lnMZnhR

FYI, woman with Anastácia's picture saying "only slaves & dogs wear muzzles" is protesting public health rules mandating masks during a pandemic.
— Uju Anya (@UjuAnya) May 19, 2020
A mulher com imagem da Anastácia e placa "só escravo e cachorro usa mordaça" está protestando contra o uso obrigatório de máscara.
For those who look up info about Anastácia, you’ll see her called “Escrava Anastácia.” “Escrava”
— Uju Anya (@UjuAnya) May 20, 2020
isn’t her name. It literally means “Slave” in Portuguese. Slave is not an identity. Enslavement is a crime. Her name is Anastácia. Her name is not the crime committed against her.
****
Thinking of this association between the identity of the black people and slavery, the young black artist Yhuri Cruz created the image of "Anastacia Livre" (free). And now, for 5 years, this work has been selected to appear in some History books in schools in Rio de Janeiro. pic.twitter.com/2F03mqRvgw

Some good news: states that started social distancing early and aggressively, like California, have avoided overwhelmed health care systems. It’s critical that we continue to listen to the evidence and experts and practice social distancing. https://t.co/56RgGeAfr7
