Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.
To all those who bravely served our country, thank you to you and your family for your extraordinary service. The sacrifices that all of you have made to protect our country will be honored, today and every day.

September 11, 2001, is a day forever etched in our memories—many of us remember exactly where we were that morning. More than twenty years later, we honor those lost by teaching our students about the tragedy, the unity it inspired, and the lasting impact it had on our nation. #NeverForget #PatriotDay

We’ll never forget the lives we lost on September 11, 2001. Let’s continue to honor their memories, and the courage of our first responders who put themselves in harm’s way.

Ridiculous!
NEWS: Elon Musk and his DOGE bros have ordered GSA to sell off the site of the historic Freedom Riders Museum in Montgomery.
This is outrageous and we will not let it stand! I am demanding an immediate reversal. Our civil rights history is not for sale! alreporter.com/2025/03/06/hi…

Women are the architects of progress, the defenders of democracy, and the heart of our communities. Today and every day, we celebrate the power of women who lead, fight, and uplift others. Let’s keep pushing forward—together.

Today, we mark the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
On that cold Sunday morning, 600 brave souls began their march from Selma to Montgomery. They were met with crushing violence, beaten by troopers with nightsticks and trampled by horses. And still, they returned to Selma and marched on, crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge determined to push our nation toward a future that was more equal, more just, and more free.
60 years later, we honor the legacy of those 600 brave souls, and we march on.
This work is not easy, and we cannot do it alone. Together, we recommit to our fight to safeguard the freedom to vote. Together, we must stand for democracy. Together, we must continue our fight for justice, equality, and opportunity for all.

"This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices. We've seen on this stage talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat, it's a gift."

So many Black North Carolinians have made all our lives better, and we are forever indebted to them for their efforts. During Black History Month, we celebrate their sacrifices and take inspiration from their contributions so that we too can make the lives of others better.

When I was a teacher, my students and I always took time this month to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought against injustice to achieve equal rights.
May we all reflect on our past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

Black History Month reminds us that the fight for justice + equality is ongoing. As we honor the trailblazers who paved the way, let’s remain vigilant against those who seek to undermine our progress. Our history teaches us resilience; our future demands our action. #BlackHistoryMonth

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

This is how we will survive and thrive for the next 4 years. This is definitely worth a listen.

Timeline cleanse! I believe in beautiful black brilliance like this. So no, I won’t be intimidated… no I won’t just be quiet… no I won’t let you pretend that excellence should be ignored. I’m fighting for babies like Terrance & beyond. All of our children should have a shot at life,liberty,
& the pursuit of happiness… not just some… ALL!
