Trayvon Martin should be celebrating another birthday today. Instead, we carry the absence of a life cut short. He deserved safety, dignity, and the chance to grow up. Remembering him means confronting the conditions that made his death possible. Trayvon should still be here.

Bad Bunny's full message to ICE and all republicans during his Grammys speech is SO important: "We're not savage. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans. Also, I want to say to the people...I know it's tough not to hate on these days, and I was

We’re closing our AHA offices tomorrow because we refuse to normalize federal agents killing people and calling it enforcement. Silence is compliance. Business as usual is the lie. We’re choosing disruption and we hope you do too. https://t.co/KDT1ES6NQb

A child finally works up the courage to ask for help at school, and the guidance they’re offered, in a public school, is religion. We're watching over 20 bills pushing unlicensed chaplains into schools. Help us put a stop to each & every one: https://t.co/KNqRttxzrV
