The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Crisis is still far too prevalent in our communities, but we are making progress. It takes time to address the root causes of violence against Indigenous people that are centuries in the making but we are fierce in our commitment. #MMIP

My 94-year-old grandmother has kept a list of every book she ever read since she was 14 years old. Amazing archive of one person’s mind over nearly a century

Last night in DC, on my book tour, I was asked by an audience member to do a spontaneous "60-second rant" - in praise of something. Off the cuff, I chose young people. Young people who are saving our democracy. Start the clock...and watch what happened:

as continue to learn more alarming news about the political influence on education and the attacks on anti-racist ideas, I was inspired to be in community last night with leaders committed to defending public education and anti-racism for @AAPolicyForum's #UnderTheBlacklight Live

Happy Friday afternoon. Our word for you this week is ‘jackassery,’ defined as “a piece of stupidity or folly.” Can you use it in a sentence? merriam-webster.com/dictiona…

TODAY. Would you help me share this image, along with the following quote from my father, across the globe today? “This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action." #MLK #ItStartsWithMe #ShiftingPriorities #BelovedCommunity #MLKDay

There are a few easy criteria to be a decent American these days: 1) Get vaccinated. 2) Don’t be a racist. 3) Support the right to vote for all. Why is it so hard for the GOP to adhere to any of these?

Let’s call this out for what it really is: a deliberate and carefully orchestrated effort from the far right to attack prominent US scientists in a Stalin-like doctor’s trial. It’s designed to intimidate us and to silence us. I will work as hard as I can to defeat their efforts

I know this is a silly thing to ask, but we're less than 500 followers away from reaching 50k. Will you follow and retweet this? I want to reach more people with info about how we're going to cut child poverty nearly in half and end the influence of corporate money in politics.

Today we honor the memories of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of others who were murdered during one of the darkest periods in history. And we recommit ourselves to working towards a society free of hatred and division. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

I prosecuted the mafia and never wavered from my oath to pursue justice, without fear or favor, no matter what risk that brought to me. If members of the House and Senate cannot uphold their oaths because they are afraid of a petulant bully in the WH, they should resign.
