- In our meeting, Elon Musk made a commitment that he would do his part to protect the integrity of these midterms. But just days later, he fired employees at Twitter who oversee election mis- and disinformation. So we called on companies to pause all ad spending immediately.
- .@POTUS, canceling $10,000 in student loan debt is like pouring a bucket of ice water on a forest fire. Here’s why (a thread):
- If the @WhiteHouse press room didn’t know #BlackChurch protocol, they do now! #GoodAfternoon! cc: @mlfudge
00:00 - Black face in any manner is always racist and never okay. No matter the party affiliation, we can not stand for such behavior, which is why the @NAACP is calling for the resignation of Virginia Governor @RalphNortham
- The right to breathe is on trial.
- "Organizing from the ground, is the best way to crack a ceiling." - @MichelleObama Congrats to my good friend @staceyabrams #NAACPImageAwards
GIF - .@POTUS’s decision on student debt cannot become the latest example of a policy that has left Black people, especially Black women, behind. This is not how you treat Black voters who turned out in record numbers and provided 90% of their vote to once again save democracy in 2020.
- Any advertiser still funding Twitter should immediately pause all advertising now.
- A Korean American woman just advocated for the historical relevance of a Black American man in 2025. You know why? Because she, just like countless others can recognize that our diversity is what makes us America! Thank you, @minakimes! #KeepAdvancingYou cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson--the ballplayer, serviceman, or human--without acknowledging our country's history of racial discrimination. From @AroundtheHorn:
00:00 - If student debt repayments can be paused over and over and over again, there's no reason why the President cannot cancel a minimum of $50,000.
- Elijah McClain’s final words… “My name is Elijah McClain. That's my house. I was just going home. I'm an introvert. I'm just different. That's all. I'm so sorry. I have no gun. I don't do that stuff. I don't do any fighting. Why are you attacking me?” #JusticeForElijahMcClain
