This is a grave miscalculation on the part of @BrianKempGA and the @GaRepublicans . Black women will not forget this video and it will become the commercial that powers @staceyabrams to victory in the next race for governor.

This is insane: Georgia Dem rep @Cannonfor58 was arrested for trying to watch Brian Kemp sign new voter suppression bill. Look at how she is treated by police. This is straight out of Jim Crow

Those of us committed to multiracial democracy cannot shy away from this fact...that @realDonaldTrump himself is not the problem but that he is emblematic of an entire culture that is fighting hard to maintain supremacy. /9

New from Jimmy Carter: “I now fear that what we have fought so hard to achieve globally — the right to free, fair elections, unhindered by strongman politicians who seek nothing more than to grow their own power — has become dangerously fragile at home.”

@AlvinBTilleryJr @NorthwesternU Congrats. Does that mean you you'll be seriously challenging the institutional racism at Northwestern? Or, will you be just another Blk academic who will just maintain the academic status quo? Where's the evidence you have done otherwise?

The same (mostly but not exclusively) white men in the #DemocraticParty who, prompted by donors, are lining up to tell @JoeBiden that he can’t win will immediately pivot to telling @VP that she can’t win. There is NO evidence to support their claims. /1

If we had a functioning media, they would spend every question asking him what he supports in #Project2025 . Since we don’t, the @nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN are just gonna keep running stories about how @JoeBiden is three years older than #Trump . 🤮🤷🏽‍♂️

Trump is strategically lying about Project 2025. 1. He knows most of it polls about like Ebola. 2. He knows his base doesn't care nerd policy crap. 3. Heritage has done the work and every word in P2025 will be his policy.
