Rep. Cori Bush is out here calling out white supremacy again, and we’re here for it.

On Sunday, Bush sent a tweet reminding her followers (and haters) why the Black Lives Matter movement was created.

“Our communities wouldn’t have needed to spark a national movement to save Black lives if America weren’t racist AF,” the Missouri congresswoman wrote.

Bush doesn’t mind shaking a few tables when she speaks on social justice, namely racism and police violence. She rose to prominence as an activist who joined the movement after the death of Michael Brown occurred in 2012, minutes away from her Missouri home, per ABC News.

On Friday, she praised a proposal by St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones that would take $4 million from the city’s police budget and rededicate it to an affordable housing initiative, reported Newsweek. The initiative will also defund The Workhouse, a medium-security penitentiary.

“Today’s decision to defund the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is historic. It marks a new future for our city,” Bush said in a statement.

“For decades, our city funneled more and more money into our police department under the guise of public safety while massively underinvesting in the resources that will truly keep our communities safe.”

During a recent appearance on CNN, Bush promised to refuse a vote for any police reform legislation that would call for a compromise on qualified immunity. Qualified immunity protects police officers from being prosecuted for actions deemed essential to their profession.

“We compromise on so much. You know we compromise. We die. We compromise, we die,” Bush told Abby Phillip. “I didn’t come to Congress to compromise on what could keep us alive. … If you don’t hurt people… if you don’t kill people… if you are just and fair in your work, then do you need the qualified immunity anyway?”
