2/2 and @HillaryClinton and others in between. We now stand together on that mountain of which we never thought we would see. To my sisters, my sisters of color, as was heard by the resonating voice of sister @YolandaAdams, Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah! #Inauguration2021
1/2 With the acesending to the Vice Presidency of Kamala D. Harris(@VP), the women of America and the women of the world now link arms in sisterhood connected to the spirits of Sojourner Truth and the early suffragettes, to the pioneering run of Shirley Chisholm https://t.co/rxZdNJPnff

1/2 Today is not only a sign of overwhelming change legislatively. Today is a sign to women all around the nation, women of color and black women of their equal status.
Today, we honor the life and legacy of a true patriot. In the wake of last week’s tragic events at the Capitol, Dr. King’s message of persistent action is more relevant than ever. We will continue to reflect upon Dr. King’s legacy in our work #ForThePeople. #MLKDay

Ridiculously the Kenosha, Wisconsin District Attorney, brought no charges in the police shooting of Jacob Blake. A Black man who was shot seven times in the back in front of his children, and no other action to resolve the matter was even considered.

3/3 or we can look at a way that these flights can be placed on a brief moratorium until our scientist can assure us on how to handle this. This is about saving lives. I don’t want a ban. I believe in civil rights and civil liberties and due process, but I do want to save lives.
2/3 that United States immediately begin a process of protecting the American people from travelers from the United Kingdom. We can use the protocols that are being utilized in New York where the airlines themselves are testing these individuals...
1/3 This is enormously sensitive. None of us want to have a process where free people are denied the right to travel. It is urgent however because of the level of contagiousness of the strain of COVID-19 in the United Kingdom...

Frontline healthcare workers received COVID-19 vaccines here in Houston, Texas, at Ben Taub Hospital. While this process is proceeding, we should continue to wear our mask, practice social distancing, washing our hands and getting tested! https://t.co/iGnHG89OLR
1/ Dr. Stephen Hahn, formerly of MD Anderson, is an ultimate science and medical professional. And the American people should have faith in his deliberations as the Commissioner of FDA. No amount of political pressure should move the decision on a life and death vaccine until it

According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, nearly 84% of the more than 2,000 marijuana offenders who were federally sentenced in 2018 were people of color.
Thousands of men and women have suffered needlessly from the federal criminalization of marijuana, particularly in communities of color.
The continued enforcement of cannabis prohibition laws results in over 600,000 arrests annually, disproportionately impacting people of color who are almost four times more likely to be arrested for cannabis possession than their White counterparts, despite equal rates of use.
