    Instead of "thanking" Black women, Black voters, and especially, Black organizers... ... give us the investments we need and deserve, redistribute wealth, ends police violence, abolish the carceral state, commit to building Black directed political power... and reparations.

    I've seen enough: state Rep. Summer Lee (D) wins the #PA12 Dem primary, defeating Steve Irwin (D).

    A THREAD While democrats lick their down ballot wounds and point fingers every direct except inwards, let me make one thing clear: I will not abide white democrats blaming Black organizers and activists who are fighting to end police violence for your losses.

    My hometown was supposed to be the American dream. Our labor made the steel that built America but when the mills left, we paid the price. Now I’m bringing the fight I’ve been in my whole life to Washington - to win a Green New Deal, Medicare For All, and racial justice. #PA18

    The time to fight back is now. I'm endorsing @BernieSanders because the only way we win is if we all fight for someone we don't know - for racial justice, marginalized folks, education, healthcare, for a society for us all and not the few A better world IS possible. #notmeus

    Today we learned from a media tip that at least 1 House Republican tested positive for Covid-19. He's been in committee and on the floor. Others we hear are self quarantining. Like their leader they refuse masks. Republicans knew for a WEEK, and not a single Dem was notified

    Our victory shows that we can overcome the billionaire class that wants to divide and conquer us all with fear and lies-for-profit, if only we come together across our differences for a positive vision of multiracial democracy. We can have nice things, if we fight. #PA12

    They're going to call you socialists anyways 🤷🏾‍♀️
    New Dems reject socialism — period. It’s time for House Republicans to stop playing political games and join our Members as we work to grow an economy that works for all Americans.

    You know what environmental racism looks like? 180,000 people in an 80% Black capital city without any clean water at all and no plans by the white Republicans in power to do anything.
