@replamonica.bsky.social has been charged for doing what she was elected to do—provide oversight and demand accountability. This is about silencing Black women in power. We stand with her.🔗 Read the statement from President & CEO @glyndacarr.bsky.social via hhfa.us/StandWithLaM...

Read @glyndacarr.bsky.social’s latest @wordinblacknews.bsky.social op-ed. The arrest of @replamonica.bsky.social isn’t about law enforcement—it’s about punishing Black women for leading with integrity.

The arrest of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver during a visit to a migrant detention facility in Newark is about authoritarianism, not justice.

Oakland deserves a leader with unshakable integrity. @barbaraleeformayor.bsky.social has always fought for ethical, transparent government—and she’ll do the same as Mayor.

@algreen.house.gov stood up for the people, and Congress sat him down for it. Imagine getting censured for defending Medicaid while the House tolerates insurrectionists. History won’t remember the boos, but it’ll remember the courage. Keep shaking that cane, Congressman.

Earlier this week, @replamonica.bsky.social (NJ-10) introduced the #MERITAct to reinstate federal workers unjustly fired under Trump & Musk’s DOGE. With 66 cosponsors & union backing, it restores jobs, back pay & justice. Black women are leading the fight — when #BlackWomenLead, the people win.

I walked out because I refused to sit through one of Donald Trump’s lie-filled speeches. His actions threaten to rip food from the tables of families who rely on SNAP, gut Medicaid, and he’s already put federal workers—many of them in the #FightingFifth —on the chopping block.

Trump repeatedly talking about “wokeness” but he obviously has no idea what he’s talking about.

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech."

This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.
