Kenneth Windley can’t get those 19 yrs of his life back. But we can stop the madness harsh sentences and a broken criminal justice system.

The Senators arguing to block voters from voting brings a new kind of “savage season” vibes when they fighting to make it harder for Black citizens to vote, along with women, students, the elderly, rural voters! Take the pledge 👉🏽civilrights.quorum.us/campaign/15507…

Democracy dies in lies. The truth is, our ancestors fought for the right to vote for who leads us. It’s our birthright as citizens! Politicians can’t try to steal that from us by lying to us & trying to block our votes so they can stay in power! Not on our watch! @civilrightsorg
The Leadership Conference@civilrightsorg
As @mayawiley points out, the SAVE America Act targets the one power we share, the ability to choose our leaders. Policies that make it harder and more expensive to register to vote puts our democracy at risk. Take the pledge to protect our elections: civilrights.quorum.us/campaign/15819…

ICYMI: The SAVE Act WILL block American citizens from voting, ESPECIALLY people of color, low-income citizens & the elderly. People who can’t pay $186 for a passport or who don’t have access to an updated birth certificate. Should be called the “Stop Voters Act”. It’s wrong!
NowThis Impact@nowthisimpact
An estimated 21 million Americans lack the ID required by the GOP’s SAVE Act, which has passed the House and is now being debated in the Senate. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin breaks down how it would make voting a lot harder — especially for the people already facing barriers.

This requires justice and we need to refuse to allow this vicious cruelty in uniform. This is why none of us will be safe as long as ICE, CPB & any law enforcement can get away with cruelty, racism and violence! #MasksOffRightsOn!

Charles Exum, the Border Patrol agent who shot Marimar Martinez five times, texted a group chat with fellow agents a few days after the shooting. “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys,” he wrote. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/fkS3Cl

When armed ICE agents showed up at the door of Teyana Gibson Brown, she asked to see a warrant. They refused and entered anyway.
ICE does not get to decide when the Constitution applies to them.

Shame Rep Ogle’s! Offensive, morally reprehensible & endangers, mothers, sons, grandparents. PEOPLE! Muslims have been in the US since the 16th century. Arab Americans in particular face racism & hate, whether or not they are Muslim! politico.com/live-updates/2… @civilrightsorg

#Selma Jubilee is a pilgrimage and a powerful inspiration for the fight ahead! Grateful to be with the foot soldiers, Nurses & Hank and Fiya Rose Saunders & Melanie Campbell! #WeMarchOn

This weekend, celebrating the life of Rev Jesse L. Jackson who my father partnered with on the Poor People’s March in ‘68. And today in #Selma I remembered my intimate talk with him in Selma about my Dad. #WeMarchOn cuz the enemies of civil rights can’t drag us back!

Stevie Wonder had some words for someone who needs to “Overcome”. Dropping truth as we celebrated Rev Jesse Jackson at Rainbow PUSH. You won’t want to miss a word!

@rep_jackson powerfully remembers his father Rev Jesse L Jackson and the church was on its feet… #RiseJesseRise

92.000 jobs lost this administration is waging war, making us less safe AND making our economy more unstable. Spending billions roving gangs of masked ICE agents at home, AND trying to take power away from voters to vote! Doesn’t feel great yet! cnbc.com/2026/03/06/job…

Noem earned that pink slip bug we our rights are still being violated and people and families are being hurt! #MasksOffRightsOn

I've got laryngitis so I'm not on TV today. but if I was, I'd remind everybody that mass deportation *remains* family separation, whether Noem or Mullin or anyone else is Trump's DHS Secretary. and that policy has not changed.

This is a day, to be reminded that many foreign governments & other manipulators will be spreading dis-information, using AI. Don’t trust! #Verify

If our government and its agents can’t see the humanity in an elderly, blind refugee, we don’t have a government worthy of us. We don’t have a government that will protect any of us. If we don’t use our power as citizens to protect humanity, we lose our own.

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead." To read the words is to damn all involved. investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/bli…

Trump lies about immigrants who have helped build this economy & contribute, and it has funded racial profiling, civil rights violations but we see rising health premiums & struggling families! #StateofOurRights @civilrightsorg

Let’s be clear on facts. Trump cut Head Start & millions of children face more hunger, less health care but years. 1 in 3 Black children face losing early Ed & the health screens they provide. #StateOfOurCare @civilrightsorg

Trump should celebrate our vets but MORE importantly we should care for the. We aren’t doing that: prospect.org/2026/02/18/vet… We are not great! #SOTU
