    Sites of mass violence and brutality are not romantic. But the stories told about them - by museums, by art, by textbooks - would have us believe so. It’s time to change a culture that whitewashes this country’s legacy of slavery and hold the enablers of that culture accountable.

    Sen. Mike Lee called the briefing “insulting.” Want to call him and his SQUAD Ayatollah sympathizers too, or is it just women of color who earn this kind of response from you? I’m reporting it.

    I was in the same briefing as you, , and this is absolutely false. You and your squad of Ayatollah sympathizers are spreading propaganda that divides our nation and strengthens our enemies.

    No one should be allowed to work without pay in 2020. Not me. Not you. Not incarcerated people. Pay ALL your workers fair wages.

    Jail inmates worked for a $16 billion company without pay. Now they want their wages.
