I had the opportunity to speak with @elizabethforma on behalf of @dailykos during #NN18. I asked about her priorities for the next Congress, her experience as an educator and more. She’s a delight to spend time with! Check it out. youtube.com/watch?v=UlxYH_m6… – at Washington, DC
Thanks for having me on @AishaMoodMills! We still haven’t heard nearly enough about the impact of Jan. 6th on DC residents who lived through domestic terrorism and the militarization of the District.

I wrote my thoughts about living in DC as a black woman in the wake of January 6th. Thank you @bungarsargon for allowing me to share my story.

Not exactly news but yet another reminder that America is truly exhausting…
EPA just detailed all the ways climate change will hit U.S. racial minorities the hardest. It’s a long list. - The Washington Post apple.news/ALNf9evIDQ5Wij2c4…
I’m always intrigued by this perspective. I went to school at 17. First gen student. Did what everyone said to do and ended up at the best school that accepted me and accrued lots of debt. Definitely didn’t know what I was taking on and suspect most 17/18 year olds don’t either.
These terrorists were minutes away my house, in the very same neighborhood I go to get groceries, go to the doctor, get coffee, etc. I was terrified to leave the house for months. It’s beyond shameful that Republicans refuse to hold them accountable. #January6thCommission
Until January 6th, “no one had ever, ever called me ni**er while wearing the uniform of a Capitol Police Officer.”

I learned/used CRT as a theoretical framework for my doctoral dissertation which took two years to write. Your 9 year old ain’t learning it in their 3rd grade classroom. Period.
One of my babies is out in the world today. Thanks @Sunlight_Press for publishing it! 🙏🏾

It also hurts deeply to be reminded over and over again that white supremacy and anti blackness render black folks inhuman and inferior. Surprising, of course not. But painful. Like a punch to the gut every single time.

Are the people who called for ‘Law and Order’ when people were in the streets because police shot a Black man in the back 7 times calling for it now?
White supremacy persists. And instead of eradicating it, many merely criticize responses to it.
We need a revolution of values.

I’ve never been terrified to live in DC... until today. I can actually hear the cops racing up and down Pennsylvania Avenue from my house. The PTSD invoked by this presidency is fucking unreal. #DCProtests

A post-election not from us to you, with love.
ALT The photo is black text on a blue sky background with white clouds. The text reads: While we collectively exhale a sigh of relief we must continue to remember that our fight is NOT over. With the appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice we know that our recent LGBTQ labor wins (Bostock vs. Clayton County) could easily be reversed. Despite laws and policies our BIPOC LGBTQ community and specifically Black Trans Women continue to be targets of our white supremacist, heteronormative, and settler colonial political system. We must continue to organize, keep practicing self-care and community care, and keep showing up for our communities. Our work will continue and we hope yours will too. Love, The National LGBTQ Workers Center
