This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table.
Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families.
Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more.
A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

A very happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!
We’re wishing all Minnesotans quality time with family and friends, rest and relaxation, and a good Minnesota-grown turkey on the table 🦃

Impeach, convict, remove.
And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Unemployment among Black women is now at 7.5% — rising for the third straight month.
I'm in Boston today to sound the alarm and discuss how we can address the impact of this crisis in Massachusetts and beyond.

Pumpkin pie flavored #poptarts are one of the few food items my #ARFID brain can handle. Especially first thing in the morning. They’re also my current #hyperfixation food. And the thought of them being a seasonal item is making me want to stockpile every box I can find 😪 @poptartusa.bsky.social

As a result of the Republican federal government shutdown, SNAP payments will not be paid in November.
The state plans to notify SNAP recipients when payments can resume and will let people know when to expect SNAP payments.

Everyone NEEDS to watch this. It is infuriating to say the least. This fkn white woman murdered an innocent mother. And these POS cops treated the murderer way too kindly and respectfully. I am enraged and absolutely heartbroken. #injustice #blacklivesmatter

As the first Black Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, I’ve lived the American dream – but I recognize that history can’t stop here.
This Commonwealth will continue to work for everyone, creating more opportunities for everyone to live their American dream.
Happy Juneteenth!

Trump is attacking Harvard & other nonprofits because they disagree with him.
This is about punishing dissent. It’s about silencing nonprofits that serve vulnerable people & our communities. It's about sowing fear.
This is authoritarianism, plain & simple. And it's unlawful.
