I am pretty sure Kamala Harris would know the answer to the question if she needs to uphold the Constitution of the United States or not.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

Before Amelia Earhart, there was Bessie Coleman. Because she was female & African American (+ Native American), Bessie was refused flight training. So Bessie went to France where she earned her pilot's license a full 2 years before Ms. Earhart. 💜 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessie_... #BlackHistoryMonth

It is time for us to begin imagining a world without hierarchy, social or otherwise.
I invite you to take a deep breath and really let yourself imagine. What do you see?
I’ll go first: I see laughing, contented children.

I can’t stand election post mortems. She was a brilliant candidate. She engaged a lost generation of voters and she almost won. I’m still with her.

There comes a time when those who have been accustomed to privilege for so long, equality feels like tyranny. As we imagine our next steps toward a world in which all beings (humans and otherwise) are valued, welcomed, and thrive, we must remember this.
