She does not know
her beauty,
she thinks her brown body
has no glory.
If she could dance
naked
under palm trees
and see her image in the river,
she would know.
But there are no palm trees
on the street,
and dish water gives back
no images.

The War on Drugs has really been a war on people—disproportionately criminalizing people of color.
If we want to right the wrongs of this failed war, we need to end the federal prohibition of marijuana and focus on restorative justice. https://t.co/8RdbbRaiJM— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) February 2, 2021

With its back against the wall…

Attaching a profit motive to imprisonment will always be unconscionable. Private prisons have perverse incentives to maintain the broken system of mass incarceration. We should eliminate the use of these for-profit prisons entirely.

Hank Aaron was not only a home run king, but a king of justice. In the face of racism and vitriol, he broke through barriers with grace on his way to becoming one of the greatest baseball players of all-time. We've lost a true trailblazer and American icon.

I applaud this move from @JoeBiden. By invoking the Defense Production Act, we can dramatically increase our supply of vaccine materials, testing kits, and PPE.
