Let’s speak an uncomfortable but honest truth: racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and transphobia are real in this country.
They are age-old forms of hate with new fuel. And we need to speak that truth so we can deal with it.

Today, @NAACP voted to move forward with a resolution to initiate @realDonaldTrump’s impeachment at the 110th #NAACPConvention. Trump’s misconduct is unmistakable and has proven time and time again, that he is unfit to serve as the president of this country. #WhenWeFightWeWin

On July 2, 1964 President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. We stand on the shoulders of giants as we celebrate those who worked so hard to perfect this union of ours and we honor them by continuing-today more than ever-the fight to protect and expand freedoms

In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, civil rights groups, including @NAACP, @NatUrbanLeague, @AAAJ_AAJC, @LawyersComm, @civilrightsorg, @NALEO, had urged @SecretaryRoss to move forward with printing the 2020 Census forms without the citizenship question.

This is the outcome we've been fighting for all along. The #2020Census is too important to be tainted or compromised. Now, it's time to focus on ensuring an accurate count for all communities. bit.ly/32126oF

"We must DISSENT from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear...
We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership."
~ Thurgood Marshall, born #otd in 1908.

What a lot of people label "Christianity" is really the white supremacist theology that developed in the Western Christian churches in order to justify racism, colonialism and slavery. When folks ask questions like, "how can white Evangelicals support Trump?", that's how.

We all know @realDonaldTrump is fighting for millionaires like himself. I'm fighting for New Jersey's middle class and all those working to get there.

Congratulations to legislators in New Jersey for not passing taxes that would have driven large numbers of high end taxpayers out of the state. Many were planning to leave, & will now be staying. New York & others should start changing their thought process on taxes, fast!

If a parent locked their child in a cage without soap or toothpaste, they would be charged with child abuse.
If a parent were to put their 8 year-old in charge of caring for a toddler, they could be charged with child endangerment.
Then the parents could go to JAIL.

"We need to understand the greater evil of American slavery wasn't involuntary servitude and forced labor; it was this idea that black people aren't as good as white people, that they're not fully human."

Pbs reconstruction series is a sterling example of why the amistad act should be more than a piece of paper but implemented in every school in New Jersey.

Sandy Hook happened 6 years ago and we can’t even get the Senate to hold a vote on universal background checks w/ #HR8.
Christchurch happened, and within days New Zealand acted to get weapons of war out of the consumer market.
This is what leadership looks like ⬇️

64% of Floridians voted to restore voting rights to those who had paid their debt to society. Republicans are trying to roll that back, ignoring the will of the people. Again. politico.com/states/florida…
