I work with refugees. Historian. I believe in humanitarian action, in helping others, in making society better for the most marginalized.

Police brutality Unequal education Maternal mortality Child welfare involvement These are all systems in which, and are not an exhaustive list, of the ways in which systemic racism is *quantifiable*. This is what we want with BLM. This is what needs changing. Not murals painted

Black women are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications than white women — this father brought his heartbreaking story to Congress to change that

Congratulations to Senator Darline Graham Nordone on this historic achievement. Her appointment marks a significant milestone for our state.   A 2009 graduate of South Carolina State University, Senator Graham Nordone becomes the first woman and the first HBCU graduate to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. This is a testament to the progress our nation continues to make in expanding opportunities for women to serve at the highest levels of public office.    I feel certain her historic accomplishment will inspire generations of South Carolinians to believe that no barrier is beyond reach and wish her Godspeed.

@SenDuckworth You should have voted against it because merging our military with Israel is abhorrent in its own right. Yes, the idiotic war we started with Iran shouldn't be funded. At all. But merging our military with a foreign one is treason and that should have been enough

The Senate cannot authorize an unprecedented $1.14 trillion in defense spending for Trump to continue his disastrous war at the expense of the American people. I will vote no on the NDAA unless my amendment to end this illegal war is included. Enough is enough.

Today, I sued the Heritage Foundation, Stephen Miller, a Columbia affiliate, and others under the KKK Act. I will not stop fighting until everyone who willingly contributed to my missing the birth of my son—and 104 days of my life—answers for it. More actions will come soon. But this lawsuit is about far more than what was done to me. It is about a coordinated, ongoing plot to punish, silence, and intimidate everyone who dares to dissent and speak out for Palestinian liberation. We will hold them accountable.

🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens. In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says. And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing. To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in. That’s how panic starts. And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.” Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions. They are supposed to de-escalate situations. Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights. When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.

I'm a Democrat, and will probably be a Democrat the rest of my life. However, it seems to me that the current Democratic leadership just isn't up for the current challenge. I have no idea how we fix that.

A great development: The Senate voted AGAINST the NDAA 50-46, denying Israel a merger with the US. Those 46 who voted in favor, should face charges for treason
