@BarackObama Mr. President, Sofia’s too humble to ID herself as the legacy of three other activists who also proudly worked in your administration. Your note will mean everything to her and all the young Cuban-Americans who are working to GOTV in FL! We all miss you so much!

@jlsHouston And yet people insist she’s lying because racism only happened if it was reported on time. Who’s going to tell them their logic is precisely the reason women don’t speak up when they’ve been abused.

Thank you @PolitiFact for clarifying this: Obama’s immigration policy specifically sought to avoid breaking up families. While some children were separated from their parents under Obama, this was relatively rare, and occurred at a far lower rate than under Trump.

@Carolyn18852578 @samswey @akon_bol Agree re stacked. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to succeed as a minority, but MUCH harder. Many folks are uncomfortable with that. Why? If the reality challenges your perceptions about equality in this country, wake up. Fact = It’s not equal.

The Administration’s move to further limit travel to Cuba is groundless and hurts both Americans and the Cuban people. Shutting off access by American travelers to Cuba infringes on personal liberties and free market capitalism.
