My sis is a survivor. She fled war at 8 yrs old. I am angry she is facing so much hate + violence. What these people donāt understand is that this country belongs to all of us. I pray one day Ilhan won't have to put her fists up to defend herself. Her lived experience is why she won't let them win. We are blessed to have her in Congress.

Ghana is set to file a resolution at the United Nations on March 25, 2026, to have the transatlantic slave trade declared as one of the greatest crimes against humanity. President John Mahama has led the African Union's call for reparations, demanding that former colonial powers provide compensation for the injustices of slavery and colonialism. Speaking on behalf of the President during an engagement with Jamaicaās Prime Minister, Ghana's Foreign Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, said the goal of this push is to ensure reparations, restitution and justice for Africans who suffered from the slavery.

Of course Kristi Noem should be fired.
Of course she should be impeached.
Of course she should resign in disgrace.
But also, she should have never had the job in the first place.

āTHIS IS WAR.ā
āCivil war.ā
āThe Left is the party of murder.ā
āThe Left wonāt stop unless itās forced to.ā
Influential figures across the right have decided to use Charlie Kirkās death to promote their fantasies of war and retribution against Democrats and leftists.

šÆ In my first 100 Days of Action as Mayor, weāve worked with urgency to deliver results for Oakland:
š Homelessness ā Secured Oaklandās fair share of county & state funds and launched our new Office of Homelessness Solutions.
š® Illegal Dumping & Trash ā Removed nearly 30 tons of waste by launching "Keep The Town Clean" iniative and partnered with the District Attorney to pursue prosecutions for illegal dumping.
š® Public Safety ā Reinstituted sideshow enforcement, added community safety ambassadors, funded five police academies to grow our force, strengthened the Department of Violence Prevention, and kept all 25 fire stations open with City Council backing.
This is just the beginning. We know thereās more work aheadāOaklanders must be safe and feel safe.
These are only part of what weāve accomplished in 100 Days of Action. Together, weāre building a safer, cleaner, and more just Oakland.

Lawmakers were assassinated and wounded by a right-wing, religious extremist pretending to be a police officer and yet this story has completely faded from the national media.

When you hear āthe first Black personā achieved any honor or position in the US, remember itās not because Black people werenāt talented enough to earn that before. Itās because white people set up systems to advantage themselves and exclude others from that honor or position.

If Musk compromises Social Security in any way, millions of Americans could miss their checks.
If Elon is all about transparency, he should drop by @OversightDems and tell the American people why he's messing with their social security.
