Shameful. This is why it was so important to pass #Juneteenth holiday bill so the complete history of the USA can be learned, appreciated, and cherished. #GeorgeFloyd helped change the world and understanding of America’s history.

The 253 bills to restrict or curtail voting rights that have been introduced in 43 states illustrates the fierce urgency of Congress passing, and the signing by President Biden, of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act & the For The People Act. @HouseDPCC @HouseDemocrats
Yesterday was the 8th anniversary of the infamous Shelby County decision, which immobilized the Department of Justice from subject discriminatory voting and election law changes to “preclearance,” and opened the floodgates for vote suppressors. https://t.co/nLxSutrKAO
We must now pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and the voting rights bills, HR 1 and HR 4!!
What an honor to have the Juneteenth National Holiday Bill signing featured on @whitehouse homepage! The historic bill signing is represents to our country that there is a commitment to unity, freedom, and working towards social justice! This bill is only the beginning. https://t.co/md5OWpn1XT

@CNNPolitics I applaud the Senate for passing S. 475, the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, companion legislation to H.R. 1320, my bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. I am at work with leaders to have the House pass the bill and and send it to @POTUS by Juneteenth.
As Lincoln said long ago, I pray that the Lord "may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, leaving you only cherished memories of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours for having laid so costly a sacrifice on the altar of freedom.”
“Thank you Mrs. Sicknick for sharing your heroic son Brian who gave his life in service to the nation. GOP senators should meet with you and support, like the 9/11 Commission, the January 6 Commission because you especially are entitled to answers. https://t.co/MBkrPnJETU

3/3 and disabled persons cannot get out. We’ve got to bring these resources to them as well as the opportunity to be vaccinated. That’s the only way we’re going to effectively have mass immunization by being able to massively vaccinate Houstonians, Texans and the American people.
2/3 I want to thank them for their generosity. So, in addition to the FEMA water, we’re hoping to see water come from around the Nation to help some of these very hard-hit neighborhoods and to be able to take the water into the neighborhoods where seniors, poor families,

2/3 I will continue to push for large sites in neighborhoods, making them more accessible to seniors and working families. Working with the Biden Administration and as they promised, FEMA now has a large role in ensuring mass vaccinations and mass immunity across the nation.
1/3 FEMA will announce tomorrow in Houston a mega site that hopefully will be able to draw residents from all over the region. The good news is that FEMA will become intimately involved in vaccinating people across America.
1/4 I am deeply saddened by the passing of American music icon Mary Wilson. Mary had a melodious voice and the ability to get you out of your seat, to dance dance dance! She was a vital member of the American music giants, the Supremes, and she is still beloved until this day.
2/4 I got to know Mary when she came to Washington DC to advocate for the rights of musicians. She was enormously convincing and effective with her own determined and sweet manner.
3/4 not only in this nation but to fans around the world.I offer my deepest sympathy to Ms. Wilson’s family and friends, and I want them all to know that not only is she loved by them, but she is actually loved by this nation as well. She will be remembered as an American icon,
4/4 a precious resource of this great country and a very kind and wonderful person. May Ms. Wilson not only rest in peace but may she also rest in power.
2/3 As a black woman, she never stopped fighting against discrimination! She is incomparable. We will miss her. Every time we met, she exuded love, and our admiration for her continued to grow and grow. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
1/3 Cicely Tyson, one of a kind, a black woman who had dignity, integrity, beauty, art, and immense talent. She showed the world that acting is really telling real stories. She showed real passion and brought light to the world.
3/3 We must find a way to make sure that the people involved in domestic terrorism are held accountable while protecting the civil rights of all Americans.
2/2 It is crucial for Congress to quickly begin its oversight work to be able to focus in on these dangerous people and positions that have resulted in the death of other Americans.
