A Dangerous Precedent: Criminalizing Black Women’s Leadership The arrest of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver during a visit to a migrant detention facility in Newark is about authoritarianism, not justice.

Read @glyndacarr.bsky.social’s latest @wordinblacknews.bsky.social op-ed. The arrest of @replamonica.bsky.social isn’t about law enforcement—it’s about punishing Black women for leading with integrity.

This #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we celebrate @repjahanahayes.bsky.social , a former teacher and 2016 National Teacher of the Year. But while we uplift educators, Trump has signed 8 executive actions that threaten public education. Appreciation must come with action. #SupportTeachers #BlackWomenLead

I met with CORA Food Pantry to discuss their critical work in combatting food insecurity within our community.

In #NC04, over 68,000 people rely on SNAP to put food on the table, and the GOP’s proposed cuts to these benefits will place an undue burden on local organizations working to fill in gaps.

Black women who speak truth and stand up for justice are always the disproportionate target of these attacks, and we’re seeing that play out here. That’s why we are here to support Black women who lead like @pressley.house.gov. #BlackWomenLead

@algreen.house.gov stood up for the people, and Congress sat him down for it. Imagine getting censured for defending Medicaid while the House tolerates insurrectionists. History won’t remember the boos, but it’ll remember the courage. Keep shaking that cane, Congressman.

Earlier this week, @replamonica.bsky.social (NJ-10) introduced the #MERITAct to reinstate federal workers unjustly fired under Trump & Musk’s DOGE. With 66 cosponsors & union backing, it restores jobs, back pay & justice. Black women are leading the fight — when #BlackWomenLead, the people win.
