It's beyond unacceptable that Amazon, the 2nd largest corporation in America, owned by Jeff Bezos, the 2nd wealthiest person on Earth, continues to put their huge profits ahead of the health & safety of their workers.
Sadly, that's precisely what my 160-page report today found.

Two years ago, I was proud to sign the Respect for Marriage Act into law—requiring interracial and same-sex marriages to be recognized in every state in the nation.
It was a vital step towards creating a nation where decency, dignity, and love are honored and protected.

The #kidlit #mglit and #yalit communities are deeply saddened by the loss of #NikkiGiovanni's light. Her poetry brought hope, compassionate caring, and at its core, a deep sense of optimism to her readers of all ages. Her activism changed lives. Her legacy lives on.
We honor the life and legacy of #NikkiGiovanni, a poet and activist whose powerful words challenged injustice and inspired change. Her contributions to the arts and humanity will continue to resonate for generations.
Our condolences go out to her loved ones and all impacted by her profound work.

Today in History: The Montgomery Bus Boycott
On December 5, 1955, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, uniting a community to demand justice. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led with a clear vision, stating, “The bus boycott is not aimed at putting the bus company out of business but at putting justice in business.”
Today, we honor this legacy by continuing to stand for justice through nonviolence.
