Looking back on the weekend, more disturbing than those that use #Halloween as an excuse to be racist is how many Black folks are still dressing up as law enforcement smiling…in 2025. We need to stop normalizing the forces targeting us. Lock in.

In the words of our Interim Executive Director @ItsMsPortia: "Every dollar added to a prison phone call is a policy choice to profit from pain." The FCC has made it clear that they will continue to burden marginalized people for their own gain. Our communities deserve better.

Redistricting is one of the critical tools that Democratic trifectas can take to stop the erosion of Black political power and prevent the demise of our democracy, as long as they have the courage to answer the call.
NewsOne@newsone

[OP-ED] History tells us that moments of great democratic crisis don’t ask us to recite our values louder. They ask us to risk them, to test them, and to adapt them. Today is one of those moments, and that’s why courage is the word of the hour. bit.ly/3HVTNEf

The @Dodgers pledged $1 million to help families of immigrants impacted by ICE raids across LA. This is a team valued in the billions and that made >$752m in revenue last year, a significant bit as local ticket sales. This is more of a “F you” than “help.” nytimes.com/2025/06/20/us/…

It was an honor to join @RepPressley and colleagues on the Hill today with our members of @ColorOfChange standing against the tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of our families and communities. We are more than a line item. #cutthegreednotthepeople
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@RepPressley

There is nothing big or beautiful about making people sicker, poorer, or more vulnerable. I’m joining @ColorOfChange to call out Republicans’ budget sham that guts Medicaid & SNAP to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

It’s 10:55pm and the House Budget Cmte just voted to advance the largest cuts to our social safety net our nation has ever seen. This cruelty is exactly why @ColorOfChange is heading to the Hill on 5/20 to stand up against the greed, theft, and corruption targeting our families.

I showed up to hear my disgrace of a congressman @RepMikeLawler. After being forced to park a 15m walk away because police blocked the parking lot, I was turned away at the door because of a “no purse” policy. Needless to say mostly white men entered, many women left out.

Democracy cannot thrive in conditions of extreme wealth and inequality. Our tax code is a tool to rebalance power and redistribute wealth in society. We need to fight against policies that instead will create trillionaires instead of meeting the needs of workers and families
Roosevelt Forward@RooseveltFwd

We don’t need trillionaires. We need a tax system that protects democratic power and puts public investment first. In #FiresideStacks🔥 @ItsMsPortia lays out how to stop the rise of trillionaires—and start building shared prosperity. firesidestacks.com/p/republican-t…

Over the weekend @ItsMsPortia wrote a strong piece for @Salon: “What’s happening right now is not a matter of opinion or partisanship — it’s a test of whether we believe in the foundational idea that the law should protect people, not just power.” salon.com/2025/04/19/dog…
