18 years old and writing about white genocide before he went out to massacre Black folks buying groceries.
But tell me again how we don’t need antiracism education in schools.
“Real marriage is between a man and a woman. Other couples will never share that kind of love.”
Hmm, I just watched Cherelle Griner fight for 294 days until her wife was freed.
Watching Luke Combs sing beside Tracy Chapman with such obvious reverence makes the difference between appropriation and appreciation crystal clear.
When someone engages source material in a spirit of love, it shows.
Count all the ways he centers her, not himself 👇🏾
We can’t even finish trying one police officer before another murder.
It’s not about “one bad apple.” It’s about a culture of death and domination that must be dismantled.
At a talk today, I said “fascists” and a nice liberal person replied “I wish you wouldn’t call people names.”
Fascism isn’t an insult. It’s a description. And we need to be crystal clear what we’re facing if we want to overcome it.
A reminder that Marissa Alexander was jailed for firing a *warning shot into a wall* after her ex-husband threatened to kill her.
Florida said she had no right to "Stand Her Ground."
One country. Two justice systems.
It’s not just the Capitol:
Folks tried to run the Biden/Harris bus off the road in Texas.
In Michigan, people tried to kidnap the governor.
In Oregon, they stormed the legislature guns drawn.
White supremacy is our greatest threat and we must face it head-on.
Carving swastikas into your gun before you hunt Black people isn’t mental illness. It’s white supremacy.
We need to be damn clear about that, because the solutions to those two problems are very different. It’s not brain chemistry, it’s a worldview that doesn’t see us as human.
We have a mental health crisis. We have a lot of sick people in this country.
It’s really sad that people like
@jemelehill
and
@JoyAnnReid
constantly call everything racist. They never let a crisis go to waste.
I wonder if they commented on this story…
A police officer searched a classroom at a Massachusetts middle school for the novel “Gender Queer,” after receiving an anonymous complaint
The ACLU says they cannot recall any instances of police going to a school to search for a book
@BBCWorld
“Women felt the impact of the pandemic more because of the jobs they do and the role they play in family life.”
This suffering is not “minimal.”
The GOP blocked a Senate bill to ban hair discrimination, which has already passed the House.
The CROWN Act would ban discrimination of hairstyles and textures associated with race, like locs and braids. Studies show Black women are 1.5x more likely to be sent home from work.
A plan to provide two years of free community college to all eligible students is off the table, Jill Biden will say in a speech on Monday. It will be her starkest acknowledgment yet that a measure she had championed is dead.
Abortion access can’t be separated from laws attacking trans kids’ bodily autonomy. It’s all connected—one campaign to structure US law around evangelical faith.
Liberation is collective. We only get free when we fight for all of us.
You don't "hate pronouns." You hate the people who are using them.
If that makes you uncomfortable, good. It should.
You either respect how people are asking you to know and name them, or you don't. But stop pretending it's about language.
Judges are scoring her new move at a lower difficulty out of “fear that Biles is so good that she might run away with any competition she enters simply by doing a handful of moves that her rivals cannot.”
Facing Black excellence, just change the rules.
Due to the national lifeguard shortage, unfortunately we will not be hosting swim programs, including lap swim, senior swim, and Learn to Swim, at our outdoor pools this summer. Outdoor pools will remain open each day for general swim from 11am-3pm and from 4pm–7pm.
If you arrest your own students for protesting peacefully, you have no business running a university.
Shame on Columbia. You say you're training tomorrow's leaders, then send in riot cops when they speak their conscience?
This is exactly why we were worried about electing Biden. We need leadership that understands we are on the brink of social collapse and acts accordingly.
We're really having a public debate about whether slavery was good for enslaved people.
That's how deep our political life has descended into overt white supremacy.
No one is born racist. This young man was molded and shaped.
While politicians were busy talking about how antiracism is what’s poisoning our public life.
The safest communities aren’t the ones that are policed most heavily.
They’re the ones that receive robust investments in education and quality of life.
Stop pouring money into violent “solutions.” They will not free us. That was never their design.
News reports need to start naming how this teacher shortage is a crisis deliberately created by people who want public schools to fail.
We did not get here by accident.
Transphobia kills. Period.
Brianna Ghey deserved better. She should still be smiling. She should flourish and dance.
She should just get to be a kid, not a headline. May her memory be a revolution.
The mass shooting in Colorado Springs is what happens when you make marginalized communities a public enemy through policies aimed at erasure, and banning of books that humanize/affirm/teach. This blood is firmly on the hands of Ron DeSantis, Glenn Youngkin, etc.
I am cisgender. That is not a slur, it is a truth.
The only people offended by the word “cis” are people who prefer their identity to be the only acceptable form of being.
That’s not courage, it’s bigotry. And it’s the kind of story that leads to genocide.
“We all know someone who is more outraged by Colin Kaepernick’s knee than Derek Chauvin’s...No one hates like a Christian who’s just been told their hate isn’t Christian.” -

"Today my family is whole."
Just WEEPING watching this kind of love. Can't wait til you get to hug and kiss your beloved. Thanks for showing us what devotion looks like. ❤️❤️❤️
This court is making it abundantly clear that it seeks to bend US law to white evangelical demands.
The question is whether Democrats will simply watch and let that happen.
Add justices to the court. The number of people in robes isn’t more important than our freedom.
I can't believe our nation is no longer focused on news about mass hysterectomies in concentration camps.
You know who I guarantee has not moved on? People who had their wombs ripped out.
No one gave Michael Phelps ankle weights.
When it’s a white athlete who towers above the field, we simply praise their prowess.
When it’s a Black athlete, we have to keep it close 😒
Parents do not own their children. Kids are people, not things.
They have a right to privacy about their sexuality and gender identity—to choose when and to whom they share those intimate details about their life.
Cannabis is now a $22.5 billion industry.
More than 40,000 people are currently imprisoned for possessing marijuana.
A true
#420day
celebration would be liberation and reparations.
The silence of Cori Bush’s white colleagues in the face of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s racism is *very* familiar to Black women.
And it’s absolutely infuriating.
