DHS’s plan to use robot patrol dogs on its borders is a civil liberties disaster in the making.
The government must retract this dangerous proposal, and the Biden administration must put the brakes on our country’s slide into an anti-immigrant dystopia.

Last year, I found my Dad’s poll tax receipt among his papers. He kept it as a reminder of the barriers our family faced in voting.
58 years ago yesterday, the 24th Amendment outlawing poll taxes was ratified.

66 years later, & still no justice for the brutal lynching of Emmett Till. Carolyn Bryant Donham is the only known surviving accomplice & she has yet to be charged. It's disgraceful.
Join me & sign @EmmettTill's petition to demand #JusticeForEmmettTill! sign.moveon.org/petitions/ch…

Indigenous communities deserve the same standard of journalism as anybody else, but rarely receive it from non-Native media outlets.
Newsrooms need to realize their lack of Native staff isn’t a diversity problem. It’s a journalism problem.
Since the March for life is trending, I would like to remind everyone that a few weeks ago, pro-lifers burned down a planned Parenthood in Tennessee. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

How many stories have you seen about the parents and activists pushing back against these anti-history laws? This is why I say objectivity and even balance does not exist, people just pretend it does.

This #MLKDay, I will not accept empty promises in pursuit of my father's dream.
I do not want to see photo ops of elected officials if they are not willing to put voting rights over the filibuster.
Today is a day of service and action.
Congress must #DeliverForVotingRights.

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.
She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.
Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK

Folks, let’s be clear. Reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act isn’t controversial or partisan – it was done by huge bipartisan majorities five times. In 2006, it passed the Senate 98-0 and was signed into law by Pres. Bush. It’s time to stop the obstruction and get it done.
#justiceforemmetttill arrest Carolyn Bryant Donham.

One year later:
- Who planted the pipe bombs?
- Who disabled Pence’s key card?
- Who removed the panic buttons?
- Who shared the location of the non-reinforced windows?

Let’s be clear: We must pass the voting rights bills now before the Senate. And the American people must also do something more. We cannot sit on the sidelines. We must unite in defense of our democracy.

"OF THE 15 AGENTS WHO DIED in 2021, 13 DIED in the line of duty AS A RESULT OF COVID-19. TWO WERE KILLED in vehicle-related ACCIDENTS.”
This information is from the actual article and yet here’s Breitbart using headlines & tweets to mislead the public. #copaganda – at Washington, DC
More Border Patrol Agents died in the line of duty during 2021 than in any other time since the agency’s inception. The line-of-duty deaths of 15 Border Patrol agents mark a grim milestone in the agency’s history. trib.al/mnYNNzt
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Thirteen of the fifteen agents died from COVID-19.

A “stray bullet” didn’t “strike a 14 year old,” as nearly every news outlet reported. LA police shot & killed w/o justification. And shot & killed a young girl in a dressing w/o doing the bare minimum to assess potential for bystanders to get shot. Then left her there to die.
“The police did not come to help me or my daughter, but I kept screaming,” she said. “When the police finally came, they took me out of the dressing room & left my daughter laying there. I wanted them to help her, but they just left her laying there alone” washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

I doubt most folks know how deep the Epstein story goes but it shouldn’t end with the only person going to jail for it being the woman who was his recruiter and enabler. She deserves life in prison-no doubt, but don’t let princes & presidents walk free or it keeps happening.
