This is great news! The AMA is recognizing the role systemic racism plays in public health outcomes.

It’s time Congress does the same & passes my bill with @RepPressley & @SenWarren to declare racism a public health crisis.https://t.co/XDb7TTaF9I

Donald Trump’s repeated unhinged, conspiratorial attacks on me and other prominent female politicians are not just sexist. They are leading to frequent threats against our lives.

The FBI visited my house today. They arrested a man in Idaho on weapons charges who they believe was affiliated with white supremacist groups. They found my name on a list in his home, alongside others.

Attorney General Bill Barr is a corrupt Trump henchman who should have been impeached months ago. If he cared one shred about our democracy, he’d be focused on the peaceful transition of power instead of doing the bidding of a wannabe dictator.https://t.co/rV5GEBmnBL

I covered DC’s BLM protests this summer, and not once did I see police—let alone police in riot gear—walk alongside protesters like this. They would be blockading streets or dispersing crowds (often violently, shoving, tear gassing, shooting rubber bullets, etc.)

Gross contrast https://t.co/MQSmWAhsP6

The way the police punish survivors of domestic violence instead of supporting them.

Around the world police safely disarm men, women, and children who are in the middle of a mental health crisis. U.S. police are trained to shoot to kill any time they get the heebie-jeebies. Walter Wallace needed an ambulance. Instead, he got bullets.

A reminder that Philadelphia Police Department was notified that 328 of their officers posted white supremacist and other hateful content online and decided to keep 96% of those officers on the force, where they continue to patrol communities of color with almost total immunity.

She was too afraid to testify at her ex’s domestic abuse trial. So she was assaulted by police and jailed instead. This is a horrific example of the way the police punish survivors of domestic violence instead of supporting them. https://t.co/W1kz8yHgnC
