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.

We’re at a turning point in the redistricting process, and maps drawn in the next 12 months will determine the next decade of representation in our country. @AllOnTheLine is empowering folks to demand accountability during redistricting—join them: https://t.co/jH3jXlfbPj https://t.co/6Lp3GELope

This year, legislators are drawing new maps that will determine American elections for the next 10 years. Take it from @Questlove—democracy itself is on the line.

I want to share this inspiring book about the events leading up to the 1960 election, from Dr. King's imprisonment to student activism in Atlanta to JFK's campaign. It's a story we can all learn from—a story of overlooked heroes and the power each of us has to create change. pic.twitter.com/yIaNJpRq7M

Black people have never been the problem, but the solution. No one values freedom more than those who’ve never had it. Saved this democracy from itself once again. Now, when will this country give Black Americans what they’re owed?

Listen. Organizers worked hard in Georgia. They knocked on my door 3-4 times week. I told them I voted early. They said, great— but what about your friends & family?

Imagine what this nation could be if it uplifted Black women the way Black women uplift democracy.

Y’all cared more about the Target on Atlantic Avenue than the Capitol building.

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

All I keep thinking about is how National Guard were deployed to guard the Miracle Mile from people stealing Gucci bags but protestors stormed the Senate chambers and there is nary a police in sight.
— Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) January 6, 2021
As a Congressperson, how do you walk back into the Capitol and resume work knowing that the police willingly let domestic terrorists into your workplace? Like…. moved the barricades out of the way and took selfies once they were inside?

Words I will use on TV tonight:
— Ali Velshi (@AliVelshi) January 7, 2021
Coup
Insurrection
Treason
Sedition
Lies
Terrorists
I am hearing from fellow journalists who are being told not to use these words. Resists attempts to censor your language. Democracy depends on bearing witness & holding power to account.

We're not talking about the bombs enough. At least three were found and disarmed yesterday.
There is a LOT going on. But it feels like those explosive devices should be a bigger story.

The way news outlets shielded us from viewing the horrific murder of a white woman committing a criminal act at the Capitol Building yesterday, is the dignity that I desire from the media when unarmed Black people are murdered by the police. Instead we get trauma porn.
