Not do I only believe working 40hrs is too much, I also believe kids being in school all day is absurd. That’s too much. 25 hrs should be full time work, 30 max. Kids are in school all damn day because parents are at work. No one is effective 40+ hrs a week.

Actually this is Biden‘s fault. It’s directly connected to his 40+yr record. Literally all the bad things. From the student debt crisis, civil asset forfeiture, and mass incarceration. It’s him, he IS the bad guy. Y’all aint gotta like it, but the truth don’t care who tell it.

He can call for a cease fire and stop supplying Israel with weapons and money. He can cancel student loan debt. He can declassify and legalize cannabis. He can drop out of the race and let someone better run. I mean there are so many options.

Biden is reportedly frustrated with his low poll number (like this), and I don't blame him. Serious question: What could he do to turn this around? Everyone's answers always strike me as ideologically self-serving. I really don't know!

Not counting the time to getting to work/school and back home. I know this tweet thread won’t go viral, but this shut down should’ve brought workers together. We should be demanding proper pay and less hours working. Almost 50% of our days are either working or sleeping.

It’s very important as Non-Muslims we stand in solidarity and protect these women if we see them being harassed or attacked. Do not be a complicit bystander. Record, take photos, and physically step in as a group to HELP. Do not sit silently and watch harm being done.

Malcolm X was very vocal in his support of Palestine and the Palestinian struggle. He wrote and spoke about it! She is specifically using his name and calling herself Malcolm X. You don’t get to do that and not engage with his politics. Go beyond a Spike Lee movie and read!

I know it’s comforting to think everything political started in 2016, and to make Trump the ultimate boogyman and person responsible for the state of America today, but I can’t let y’all live in a comfortable lie, while the rest of us suffer in an uncomfortable reality.

Homelessness is a policy choice. None of us have to be homeless. We’ve got empty apartments, homes and buildings everywhere. The people y’all voted for would rather pass legislation that makes homelessness illegal so they can throw you in jail and use you for prison labor.

If the mild “shut down” of 2020 taught me nothing else, is that A LOT of parents do not like their children, or saw educating them as part of their responsibility. They were begging to reopen schools during a pandemic to not have to be around them.

SB 63 — which would criminalize bail funds in Georgia — passed the Senate today. The bill would make bailing more than 3 people out of jail per YEAR a crime for bail funds and nonprofits. It also increases the number of non-bail-eligible offenses.

FYI: A mob of white people storming the capital isn’t white privilege, that’s white power. A white woman walking around Sephora without being followed, because no one suspects they’re stealing is white privilege. You follow what I’m throwing out? There’s a difference.

Honestly, Jay Z gets all this heat because he does it to himself. He consistently brings up Black radicals like Fred Hampton and Malcolm X, like he’s following in their footsteps when his actions show he’s the complete opposite. He’s a fraud on that score.

I want you all to know things are not going to get better anytime soon. Things are going to get worse, and it will not stop until we decide it’s going to stop. Our government doesn’t care how many of us die and suffer. Here here are a few suggestions I have and what I’m doing:

Limiting free speech is fascism. I’ll continue to point things like this out. Can’t say y’all weren’t warned. This on a federal level. Biden is president, not Trump. Again, fascism isn’t a political party, it’s an ideology, one both Republicans and Democrats are enacting.

States are making protests illegal, colleges and universities are canceling valedictorian speechs, while Biden is president, not Trump. Again, believing all bad things started with Trump and simply voting for Democrats and Biden in November will “save” us is dangerously ignorant.
