This is so important. Please watch and figure out what you can do to change this “system.” youtu.be/L_1PNZdHq6Q – at Seattle, WA

Hey Mitch, this has gone way past counting votes and presenting legal challenges. Trump is trying to overthrow a legally elected president and thwart the will of 80 million voters. Do we dare call this what it is: treasonous. How long will you stay silent?
He has violated all commandments and evangelicals don’t care about being hypocrites.

Ecstatic that you are getting supported to improve the lives of #Black women. #Blackhealth #Racialhealthdisparities

Want to know why it matters to have Black women run for office? My subway ride home reminded me.

Life of a Black resident: torn about whether I should consult on a racist patient after looking at his chart and seeing he calls staff the N word. Is this really helpful to my learning? Is this trauma even recognized? Black residents deserve protection.

Republicans are basically saying black votes are illegal, next they’ll say they’re only worth 3/5ths of a vote

This happens way to often.
I’m often asked by women how I could possibly submit to something as oppressive as the hijab.
Instead of defending the hijab and how I choose to practice my religion, I simply point out something I’ve always thought to be a double standard.

Donald Trump lost.
His claim of widespread voter fraud is baseless. There is zero evidence.
We must all, regardless of party or candidate preference, reject Trump’s efforts to undermine the bedrock principles that have made us the oldest continuous democracy on Earth.

Look whose talking now-this is the kind of history the US is known for & exactly the kind of history #45 tried to erase w/his “make America great again” rhetoric. Today, America looks great again. Now let’s heal the country & bring civility back into our society. #YesWeCanAgain

Congratulations, @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Our two countries are close friends, partners, and allies. We share a relationship that’s unique on the world stage. I’m really looking forward to working together and building on that with you both.

I feel like our ancestors are rejoicing.
For the first time, a Black and South Asian woman has been elected Vice President of the United States.
My sister has made history and blazed a trail for future generations to follow.
We love you, @KamalaHarris.

I'm going to say something that might be hard to hear, but I'm going to say it anyway.
To those who continue to decry the thin margins in this election, you need to de-center whiteness in your analysis.
Brief thread.
