I meant to post this days ago, but the Artemis II Space mission was so inspiring! The diversity was also incredible!🖤🖤🖤
BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.
Congrats to Hungary!! So happy you have your democracy back!
Pam Bondi must testify and not be let off the hook!
Trump threatening to wipe the entire civilization of Iran today and his Easter post were both beyond horrible! Even if he doesn’t follow through with his threat, it’s still awful.
Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”
Bad Bunny was great! Such a beautiful show!🖤🖤🖤
Another win! Democrat Chasity Martinez has won the Louisiana HD-60 special election. Martinez won 63%-37%. Trump carried the district by 13 points in 2024. 🌊
As a Black woman, I want to say something. Even if a staffer did post the racist post about the Obamas on Trump’s account, which most smart people know is a lie, Trump is still responsible for hiring that racist staffer, and plus, he has done and said so many racist things over the many years.
Trump posting the video of the Obamas as monkeys on his account has been confirmed as real. As a Black woman, I’m not surprised he posted that racist video and that he posted it during Black History Month. I will always be proud to be a Black woman no matter how much racism there is.
MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.
Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.
NEWS: Democrat Christian Menefee has won the special election for Texas’s 18th Congressional District, further narrowing the GOP’s slim majority in the House.
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them
Thank you. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order today blocking the Trump administration from removing a 5-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, who was detained by immigration authorities in Minnesota last week.
R.I.P Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was an ICU nurse and sounds like an amazing man. So awful what happened to him today!
Another shooting in Minnesota?! So awful! Minnesota is going through so much!
🎉
Minnesota is amazing! I’m so proud of them🖤🖤🖤They’ve been through so much but still standing strong.
Bad Bunny’s Half Time Show Teaser is so beautiful! It represented diversity and unity.🖤🖤🖤💙💙💙
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals
I’m still on my social media break, but I just wanted to say happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. MLK was such an amazing man. He is one or my heroes. Let us continue to fight for racial justice.
Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend! I love celebrating MLK Day!🖤🖤🖤
A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.
So crazy!
Exactly!
I appreciate that!
