.@SenBooker & I are calling on @DHSgov to halt the deportation of these 28 children & parents, immediately release them to sponsors & allow them to present their claims for asylum. DHS should be focused on protecting our national security, not innocents fleeing danger & violence https://t.co/y80ezoBV0w — PolitiTweet.org

Transgender people, particularly transgender women of color, are disproportionately affected by fatal violence. We must do more to stop hate crimes, prosecute these crimes and prevent those convicted of hate crimes from purchasing guns. #TransDayofRememberance — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, our Nation reflected on #TransDayofRemembrance. I am inspired every single day by the power of the LGBTQ+ community to advance justice while facing immeasurable hardships. The fight for equality prevails. #TransRightsAreHumanRights — PolitiTweet.org
