If you don’t vote, you don’t count! Today is #NationalVoterRegistrationDay You can’t complain about your gov’t unless you’re willing to fight for your democracy & guard it agst those attempting to destroy it. Start your day by asking a friend: Are you registered & ready to vote?

I want to express my sincere condolences to the family of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a titan & legend on the Supreme Court whose undeniably brilliant legal mind & dedication to justice & equality moved our country forward. We’ve lost a champion tonight, but her legacy lives on.

Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish was that her seat would not be filled until a new president is installed! Senate Democrats, do not back down. You have a tough fight ahead but our future is on the line! No SCOTUS appointment before the election!!!

On this 19th anniv of 9/11, let’s all reflect on our responsibility to one another & recommit ourselves to fully embodying what it means to serve our communities & our country. My condolences are w/ the families & loved ones of those whose lives were taken. We will #NeverForget.

Today, I’m reminded of the bravery & resilience of NYC, our 1st responders & our troops. As we confront COVID19, let’s lift up our nation’s many heroes who are willing to put their lives on the line in times of crisis in service to their neighbors. We will #NeverForget 9/11.

Today, I’m also reminded of the courage of the heroes onboard #UnitedFlight93 who sacrificed their own lives to take control of the plane from terrorists so it could not be used as a weapon agnst their fellow citizens. They used their final moments in service to their country.

The heroism demonstrated by 9/11 first responders & ordinary citizens who sacrificed their own lives to save their neighbors is the type of courage we are seeing today among our doctors, nurses, postal workers, & other essential employees working during the coronavirus pandemic.

I’ve never seen a more disgusting & pathetic excuse for a human being than Donald Trump! Several news orgs + Fox confirm Trump called US war dead losers & suckers just like he called Sen. McCain! Trump is a con who only cares abt his next hustle! HE is the loser, not our troops!

Trump tear gassed peaceful protestors, sent unidentified troops to dem cities to squash protest, called war dead losers & suckers & once called WH a dump b4 using it as a backdrop for a tacky RNC speech! The House impeached! It’s now up 2 the American people 2 save our democracy!

While Trump sits in the White House and McConnell does nothing, families are being EVICTED. We passed the Heroes Act 105 days ago, but McConnell has buried it in his legislative graveyard. He is the self-proclaimed GRIM REAPER, now we know why!

Milwaukee Bucks refused to come out of locker room & led a boycott against tonight’s game. The NBA followed & issued a statement postponing games tonight. Love hugs & thanks to the basketball players for #wedemandchange! Players stand w/ peaceful protests. We all demand change!

When will it stop? When will the police that we pay to protect & serve stop killing black people? In the words of Doc Rivers: “We keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back?” But love doesn’t last forever!

Another unarmed black man, shot in the back, by a WI police officer! No matter the outrage at the killing of George Floyd by a police officer, knee on his neck, the killing of black men continues. Is this a defiance by the police that indicates they don’t intend to stop?

B4 oversight hearing DeJoy announced he’s stopping changes he’s been making to USPS until after elections. Trump & DeJoy can’t be trusted. How much damage have they already done? Have they accomplished what they set out 2 do & undermine mail-in voting? Let’s keep the pressure up!

DeJoy talks about not making any changes until after the elections. I don’t support any changes before OR after, and keep your hands off the blue mailboxes! I’m fighting to fund #USPS $25 billion & IMPROVE services, not dismantle services!

So today we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the #19amendment and we are not asking anybody for anything! We are demanding our rights in all aspects of our society!
