The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.

Genocides do not start with mass murder. That's where they end up.

Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes begin with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority.

Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.

πŸ‘‰ You can speak out loudly today for the rights of others, or you can stay silent & wait for tomorrow, when your rights will be taken away too.

I can make Brussels sprouts unhealthy and therefore edible. πŸ˜‚ What’s your superpower?

I am SO proud of Maryland’s new Gov-Elect @iamwesmoore. A superstar who is brilliant and dedicated. He is the first Black Governor in the history of the state and only the third Black Governor elected to office in the U.S. since Reconstruction. Wonderful! If you don’t know him learn about him!

Wes Moore projected to win Md. governor’s race in history-making run

Democrat Wes Moore is projected to defeat Dan Cox, becoming the first Black person elected governor of Md. and third Black person elected governor of any state.

YES! I was just saying networks not describing maps like Florida’s in terms of partisan gerrymandering β€” which SCOTUS enabled in Rucho β€” is a real loss and missed opportunity to inform people what is happening!

The impact of redistricting and gerrymandering on these House races is staggering... and a byproduct of SCOTUS decisions like Rucho v. Common Cause.

Twitter
Twitter played a powerful role in sustaining & strengthening the fight for racial justice. The truth about racist and violent policing in America - a truth that Black people have lived with and known for a century - was exposed to the world on Twitter.
