RT @_waleedshahid: Jeffries lost his first two elections: primary challenges to an incumbent Assemblyman. In 2011, he primaried an incumbent Congressman who was a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

RT @saikatc: Wouldn’t it be smart for @TheDemocrats to welcome talented young leaders like @mh4oh into the “big tent” instead of treating them as enemies to be vanquished?

RT @JessicaJackson: This is just heartbreaking. Andrea Circle Bear was only 30 years old and died of #COVID19 in federal prison. She was serving a 26-month sentence for a drug offense and gave birth while on a ventilator. That sentence became a death sentence, and her son lost his mother (1/3) https://t.co/Y9x4mNpjih
