Last year, Maine’s 51st school district put out a letter denouncing white supremacy after George Floyd's death.
One parent, Shawn McBreairty, took issue, saying it “essentially labeled all the community members from [his town] ‘white supremacists.’”

Here’s the whole story about how national groups and conservative media have parachuted into small towns to kickstart fights over what they claim is “critical race theory.”
We put a lot of work into this one. I hope you read it.https://t.co/BViSZskbkc

“Critical race theory” has quickly become a catch-all phrase for anyone who dares acknowledge the existence of racism in society.
When they talk about banning CRT, they don’t mean CRT; they mean banning discussion of racism at all.
It’s about protecting white supremacy.

The opponents of Critical Race Theory purposefully conflate it with any teachings about race/racism in the present or throughout US history. The goal is to prevent children from learning the truth about the racial brutality and unjust systems that got us to this point. https://t.co/UlDrvcen9N

White panic over kids learning truth about America’s racist history has a long pedigree. In 3rd grade, white teachers got angry at me for reading Roots in the back of class during free time. The Black teachers encouraged it but the white ones were enraged (1)

It’s so rare to watch news happen in the hours after you post a story.
I’m so tremendously honored to have profiled Ms. Opal Lee for Variety and the SAME day to watch her hold hands with VP Harris as Biden signs the Juneteenth bill she fought so hard for into law https://t.co/00jTqQZmY1

McConnell now opposes both of Manchin’s ideas – passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and his “compromise” on S1

About Stacey Abrams agreeing to Manchin’s compromise:
Ms. Abrams isn’t about the ponies and unicorns.
Get FEDERAL LEGISLATION on the books.
1. You can build upon it.
2. Give the DOJ another weapon in their arsenal to defend Voting Rights.

Hi all, I have decided not to participate at this year’s Championships at Wimbledon and the Olympic Games in Tokyo. It’s never an easy decision to take but after listening to my body and discuss it with my team I understand that it is the right decision

Isn’t Kaitlin Collins the “reporter” who asked Biden about the 2024 election in his first news conference after less than 100 days in office?
Don’t yammer at me about what a great journalist she is; her agenda is pretty clear.

Watching the Olympic trials
Ledecky winning the 1500 meters. You couldn’t even see anyone in the pool as she was coming in for the win
I mean, it was like she was swimming in the pool by herself.😳😳
I was like…’ where the phuck are the rest of the swimmers’
YESS!
A REAL DEMOCRAT RUNNING FOR THIS OFFICE.
Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton
I’m proud to endorse @ShontelMBrown for Congress in the OH special election. Shontel made history as the first Black woman to chair her county Dem party, and she’ll work to help her state and our country recover from COVID.
Join me in supporting her:
Uh huh 😒

We don’t talk enough about the racist ways people use the term “working class.” Some mean it to refer to only white people. The assumption being all white people should be middle class, whereas POC aren’t “working class,” they’re occupying their rightful economic position.

Folks. Stop the crabs in a barrel crap. Celebrate winning a victory – Juneteenth as a National holiday, and then organize and strategize on how we use this to educate. Far too many of our children don’t know history – and how it has shaped systemic racism today.
