RT @RepBarbaraLee: It’s been a year since Breonna Taylor was murdered. We must continue to say her name and demand justice.
@DrSamiSchalk Appreciate your thoughts. I think crazy is used in a wider context these days, beyond definition of mental illness. But will keep in mind so no one less a linguist should be confused. But please note I used racist as a separate term as that is just that. And should be.
@DrSamiSchalk Appreciate your main point that he shouldn’t be let off as not being racist, which I didn’t. But think that no one should call a person with a disability “crazy”. Perhaps we are in agreement after all? Use of crazy doesn’t have to mean mental illness clearly - nor should it.
@DrSamiSchalk @SenRonJohnson @TheWorstSenator I hope you don’t use the word “crazy” to in any way describe disabled people. & not sure you should call an illness a disability in that context either. I think your take needs some refining. & in no way did I say crazy was racist, two separate terms. Agree he is racist, period.
We’ve moved from just plain old crazy rants to crazy racist rants. This is seriously embarrassing to our state, @SenRonJohnson. QT @patrickdmarley: Ron Johnson says Capitol attackers 'love this country' but he would have felt unsafe if Black Lives Matter stormed… https://t.co/Q3nEoMcvWm)

.@RepRashida and I are urging @SecBlinken to center international human rights & law when engaging with Palestine and Israel. The U.S. should oppose unilateral annexations & demolitions and we must call on Israel to vaccinate all Palestinians.

Enough thoughts & prayers. The House took action today to implement universal background checks on all gun sales & the close the dangerous Charleston loophole. Now it's time for the Senate to act and urgently protect the American people. QT @shannonrwatts: The passage of #HR8 in the House today is a huge moment for our movement. We’re on the precipice of finally address… https://t.co/wswqDpZPkW)
We just passed the PRO Act because every worker deserves a union. Imagine if @amazon just paid its workers better & let them unionize instead of paying union-busters $10,000/day. Today's PRO Act is for every worker—especially @BAmazonUnion workers organizing with @RWDSU.

You're right—it's far less white and male. Unlike you, @HouseDemocrats think progress in our party, values & legislation is a good thing. QT @SenRonJohnson: This is not your parents' or grandparents' Democratic Party. We're seeing a flood of progressive and radical legi… https://t.co/O1rWG9brSb)
