@netrootsnation.bsky.social our team is at #NN25

In this sham of a judiciary hearing against Congresswoman McIver. Thank you Soror @repjasmine.bsky.social for keeping receipts!

I haven’t been on in a minute please pray for St. Louis. The devastation is unreal. These are two of three congregations that friends lead that have sustained significant damage. I arrived a couple of hours before the tornado. Thankfully my family is safe but many aren’t.

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

Tonight my heart bleeds for the family of #Tyrenichols and Memphis murder with impunity causes people to relive the nightmare over and over again. “The whole damn system is guilty as Hell!”

I am not going back!

As we await the next act of terror from the Empire be reminded of Acts 5:29 “But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than any human authority.” Don’t cower, capitulate or be complicit.

Rest is Holy!!!!

For friends who show up in your amen corner from near and far, thanks be to GOD!

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson told Gov. Wallace he would federalize the National Guard to protect Selma marchers. Alabama refused to defend justice, so the White House stepped in. A defining moment where federal power was used to uphold civil rights. #Selma

The Dems are so weak!!! The don’t understand the art of war! Capitulation to the autocrats will not stop them. It is a sad day!

Today I remember Harriet Tubman. She escaped this earthly plane on this date in 1913. Yet her wisdom and courage is still reverberating around the globe. It is that wisdom that we need to conjure up now. I am in solidarity with many people today I chose to stand for myself and Black women and rest.

We need more courageous leadership like @algreen.house.gov. Stand for something or fall for anything.

@algreen.house.gov thank you for your courage. The Party should have walked when you did! We will see your colleagues in the primaries! Keep fighting for the people.

@cnn.com @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social decorum will not get you re-elected! People need to know that you can fight and nothing demonstrated that. When Rep Green got ejected you all should have walked. You listened while he hurled racist, xenophobic, homophobic insults. We need you to “Squabble up!”

We will not let the band of anti Black fascists have the last word www.facebook.com/share/p/1N41...

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

The #Jointaddress was a pageant of lies!

This is the resistance

People want to resist and are finding ways to strike back at the empire.

Thank you Rep Petersen. It’s shameful that you had to show up. They have no conscious.

seems reasonable

A judge has blocked the Education Department and OPM from sharing personal info with DOGE — the most wide-ranging block on DOGE’s activities to date.

@msnbc.com is like target! Black bait; white switch!

Melissa Tiffany Joy The empire continues to empire!

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

The way we need to focus on Black Media and pool our dollars to build a viable Black news network to scale. This is where celebs and denominations could help. Not surprised by @msnbc.com at all. It’s not the first time. Praying for @joyannreid.bsky.social knowing it isn’t the end for her.

242 years ago today Rev. Jarena Lee was born. She was the first woman to licensed to preach in the A.M.E. church by Bishop Allen in 1819. Richard Allen refused to ordain her but she kept preaching. She was ordained posthumously in 2016, thanks to the leadership of Dr. Teresa Fry Brown!

When I send this, it is my warning that my petty self is about to say it anyway!

Serena for the win! “They not like us!” #superbowLIX

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is the guard that protects consumers from financial predators. I just heard DOGE is physically there. They guard us from people like Musk. #KickDogeoutofCFPB

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

2 long days of strategizing with organizers; on the 🚊 wiped out but headed home after missing 1; Wednesday we’ll talk about ethnic cleansing in Gaza & the risk of a new enslavement trade as El Salvador wants to buy the incarcerated. On the 🎂 of Rosa Parks be reminded that organizing works.

How apropos in this moment and month to spend a day strategizing in a room named on honor of this freedom fighting organizer.

Stay focused. We are in psychological warfare.

"Catholics and people of faith across all traditions are standing up and taking action to protect our immigrant neighbors at risk of deportation." - @ddroyster.bsky.social, executive director of Faith in Action www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/o...

I’ve never stopped at Costco, but I am going to get a membership this weekend. Thank you for not bowing at Nebuchadnezzar’s altar!!!

This is like the night before a funeral! I spent significant time in 2024 preparing people across the country 4 this possibility. We are living in what we referred to as the 4th scenario, a 🔴 wave. Yet, I know writ large folks are unprepared🙏🏾

‘Twas the night before Founders’ Day & all thru the DELTA House, Sorors were texting & posting shoutouts. Voter registrations, marches to the Capitol, & fighting for justice and sisterhood abounds; Where there is service, justice and sisterhood a DELTA woman is sure to be found! #J13

Today is the State funeral of President Carter. He was one of a kind and embodied his faith. It is a stark contrast of how faith is now weaponized in the political arena. I am grateful for his life and these memories. Well done good and faithful servant.

Don’t only “watch, fight and pray” but if I can add to it in 2025 be prepared to Move or ACT Watch: Be aware of what is in your surroundings that makes you uneasy and for opportunities. Fight: To keep your peace and freedom. Pray: For discernment and in all things. Move/ACT: Unapologetically!!

Here is a lot of Black, Bold Brilliance for your timeline. #FIABlackCaucus

We are grateful for the tireless efforts of our faith leaders and organizers nationwide. Thank you for your unwavering fight against hate, injustice, and oppression. #Thankful

If you have ever had a near death experience and even if you haven’t Jamie Foxx’s new Netflix will touch you in deep places and of course make you laugh. Grab the tissue, Netflix and chill! I too petitioned GOD for my life and to walk. Thank you GOD, all who prayed and cared 4 me and Jamie!
