.@tressiemcphd -- Buy from black farmers? Of course. But you should also know that @SecVilsack is holding $500mil+ in fed funds after the @USSupremeCourt found @USDA discriminated agnst #blackfarmers for decades. We must demand payment of those #Reparations.

You know, I would give up all the royalties I’ve ever earned (not that I can take my fam on vacation with the sum total) in exchange for more readers of my books. Or @BarbaraRansby or @KeeangaYamahtta’s books for that matter! ✊🏿
Under the terms set by big publishers, libraries have to pay per circulation AND their legally purchased collections will disappear after a certain number of years or loans. 🤦🏻♀️ Below, an analogy to make it clear how ridiculous this is 🧵 https://t.co/jgEWA6qK4b

Today I’m remembering Karen Lewis of @CTULocal1 and condolences to her families - of heart and of struggle. Let’s never forget all the ways she schooled @RahmEmanuel for the lessons about justice that he never seemed to learn.

In today's On Tech: Salesforce, Slack and why you probably still hate some of the tech you use for work. (Spoiler alert: Because the most important customer is the boss, not you.) https://t.co/BQ8xW6BP6X

Make no mistake: When @SecPompeo asserts US must defend the founders views of #ReligiousFreedom & Private Property he is referring to slavery, & Black Americans as property. So now the @StateDept policy denies #HumanRights and slave #Reparations #WhiteSupremacy #HistoryMatters

Thirteen-year-old Hazel Hill helped to win #WWII by carrying out the calculations that meant Spitfires were built with eight guns instead of four. Many believe this made a big difference to the outcome of the #BattleofBritain
