- This is so incredibly shameful. Seeking asylum is not a crime. Shooting tear gas at asylum seekers lacks a basic level of humanity. This is your government. This is our government. Do not look away.BREAKING: U.S. fires tear gas at asylum seekers, including children, closes part of border at Tijuana. Photo via @Reuters
- Last tweet for me today: I find it pretty sad that Nancy Pelosi has chosen to use her incredible platform to belittle the accomplishments of 4 women of color who frankly did the work to be there and are doing their jobs. She’s being a bully and it’s really shitty. #YeahISaidIt
- The FBI visited my house today. They arrested a man in Idaho on weapons charges who they believe was affiliated with white supremacist groups. They found my name on a list in his home, alongside others.
- I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what we can do right now. Some food for thought.
- Replying to @aliciagarzaThis is why this President is so dangerous. He is stoking fires he has no intention of controlling. I’m ok y’all, but this shit is not ok. Vote this muthafucka out. For real.
- I didn’t think I could love her more but oh my heart. I wanna be like her when I grow up. @AyannaPressley thank you for being as unapologetic as they come.
- Should anyone forget, it was FLOTUS Michelle Obama who called for going high when they go low. Auntie Maxine ain’t never said that, and she’s been out of fucks to give since 1981. Auntie never made a promise to stay civil, but she did promise to RESIST.
- No y'all kneeling isn't about "diversity and inclusion." Stop that shit. It's about racism and police violence. Full stop.
- I’m voting Biden/Harris. I’m voting down the ticket. I’m registering and moving others to vote. And I’m going to keep pushing them. It is important to see BLM after all this time. 7 YEARS. Symbols are nice. Policy and practice is essential. Let’s go—we got work to do. #DNC2020
- His name was Tony McDade.TONY MCDADE. he was a transgender black man who was shot & killed yesterday in tallahassee by cops in daylight. very little media coverage and the reports are misgendering him. SAY HIS NAME. SAY HIS PRONOUNS. SPREAD HIS STORY. #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForTony
- This message of “I believe she was sexually assaulted—just not by Kavanaugh” is gaslighting at its finest. Might as well go on and say you think Dr. Ford is hysterical.
- Hey. Hey you. You’re doing great. You got this. We got this. And no matter what happens Tuesday, we did amazing shit and we gon keep doing amazing shit. Victory will come from movements. And the story of this cycle, no matter what, will be WE showed up and showed OUT.
