🧵America lost a Giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson was an icon and a hero to kids like me growing up here in Illinois. His fight for justice extended from the civil rights era to the present day, as we continue to build the multiracial democracy he embraced through the Rainbow Coalition.

Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real.

Today, we lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to justice, dignity, and expanding who belongs in our democracy. We honor his legacy by carrying the work forward. Praying for Rep. Jonathan Jackson and the entire Jackson family.

This morning, our world lost a giant in Reverend Jesse Jackson. So many of us have the indelible black-and-white still images of Rev. Jackson fighting for justice in the Civil Rights Movement committed to memory. But keeping him there doesn’t do him justice. Rev. Jackson moved in living color, leaving his mark over decades of world history.

He marched with Dr. King in tireless pursuit of voting rights and civil rights for Black Americans. He ran for president and forever changed the face of electoral politics, giving a voice to the overlooked and unheard. He flew around the globe as a humanitarian, chasing injustice across oceans and borders.

He fought for the poverty stricken in rural America, and the poor living in our cities. He worked on behalf of farmers and labor unions. He protested for student rights and advocated for humane treatment of immigrants.

Whether you were imprisoned by injustice or indignity, he was there to remind you, ‘I am somebody.’ And time and time again, Rev. Jackson stood at the front, putting his own life at risk in an effort to liberate millions more. He lived his faith, driven by a moral conviction that civil rights, human rights, and economic justice together created a big tent that had room for everyone.

Rev. Jackson prepared generations to carry the torch forward. And at a time when our nation’s conscience doesn’t always speak as loudly as it should, and many of the fights that Rev. Jackson fought are still ongoing, his example shows us that the way to keep hope alive for enduring justice is through the work we’re willing to do for it.

My prayers are with my House colleague Rep. Jonathan Jackson and the entire Jackson family.

🪖🤳🏿The world is policed by white-skinned Amerikkkans who use made up laws to justify flying swastikas & allowing the KKK to exist. Both are representative of the absolute worst forms of humanity of which misinformation & propaganda is essential. Why are we surprised by the events unfolding today?

🪖🤳🏿The whole world is watching & waiting for WHITE Americans on the Left, somebody-anybody, to step up and light the fuse which will set off this multi-ethnic ass whipping to be handed to their white kkkonservative counterparts on American soil. Ya'll hesitate out of sympathy & need for these mf'ers.

🪖🤳🏿Me at the Atlanta Black Expo this Friday to see what it feels like to be amongst those in pursuit of entrepreneurial growth who offer solutions for the betterment of helping to move humanity forward. Being poor while in pursuit won't be my excuse this year. More risks will be taken in 2026.

🪖🤳🏿Correct! Leaders all across the globe will sit back and allow white Amerikkkans to commit the most atrocious crimes against humanity and do absolutely nothing. NOBODY policies white Amerikkkans because those committing the crimes benefit them in some way, shape, or form.

Fckin sick & evil!!!

🪖🤳🏿I agree wholeheartedly that crime data on Black Americans is skewed. Bill Cosby served nearly 3 of 10 years for sexual assault before it was overturned. That fckboy tRump or ANY white-skins on the Epstein list have yet to be prosecuted because white Amerikkka protects her rapists & pedophiles.

🪖🤳🏿I agree wholeheartedly; to this day white America is STILL more upset at Michael Vick than they are about anyone linked to Jeffrey Epstein and raping kids. A dogs life & wellbeing has greater value than that of a child. The hypocrisy in policing is one thing, but the lack of shame is astounding.

🪖🤳🏿Jeffrey Epstein had a dental office in his home to remove the teeth of his child victims so that they couldn't bite their rapists. Ain't no fuckin way this is true!!!

It's wild watching how passive & casual white Americans are to these atrocities against children. Where are the fcukin meteors.
