People who are actually “cancelled” don’t get their thoughts published and amplified in major outlets.
This has been a public service announcement.

Teachers are paying out of pocket for school supplies, yet police are given extra tanks.
Budgets convey priorities.
We should question ours.

Historian here: tearing down a statue is not erasing history. Putting up a statue on land whose original caretakers you can’t name is.

Pay disparity isn’t a thing of the past.
Black women make 61 cents on the dollar of what white men make. And today marks how far into the year black women have had to work to earn what white men did in all of 2018. #BlackWomensEqualPay

Pia Klemp — the captain of a controversial ship that rescued thousands of stranded migrants in the Mediterranean Sea — has refused to accept a medal for her work.
"We do not need authorities deciding about who is a 'hero' and who is 'illegal,'" she said.

People always discount disabled activists but remember that picture of a woman handcuffed behind her wheelchair?
Thats one of the reasons why you still have your healthcare.
Disabled people literally put their bodies in the line because it’s effective.

For the first time in nearly 50 years, Planned Parenthood is being forced out of the Title X program, meaning people across the country who are already struggling to make ends meet might not be able to access the care they need.
Absolutely devastating.
#IStandWithPP #ProtectX
Planned Parenthood said it will withdraw from the federal Title X program that helps low-income people access contraception. latimes.com/world-nation/sto…

Antifa is short for antifascist. It’s an ideology, not an organization. The so-called President of the United States, an unabashed white nationalist dictator, has fallen all over himself to condemn and threaten those who oppose fascism. You know who hates antifascists? Fascists.

Wow. Puerto Rico.
You don’t get this perspective from the ground.
They are Loud.
Determined.

Solidarity with #WayfairWalkout! Workers have the power to shut down companies that profit from torture and death at the border.

We don't need more $ for detention centers, we need to close them. It costs more to detain ppl than to allow them to live freely while applying for asylum. This isn't about cost effectiveness nor is it about needing more $ for proper care. It's about gov't-funded torture & abuse

Racism is not simply an illness of the mind or of the heart; it's a system of *power*, *theft* and *wealth-hoarding*
Reducing racism to an issue of love v hate b/w individuals ignores that racism is highly organized, maintained by government policy & enforced w/ police violence

Like Canadian pundits debating what is 'genocide', American commentators have knickers in a knot about what constitutes 'concentration camp'
How about we end all mass racial incarceration & social control in detention centers & prisons so we don't have to debate what to call it
RevolutionaryGrounds retweeted
This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.
This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis ⬇️

I know what concentration camps are. I was inside two of them, in America. And yes, we are operating such camps again.
RevolutionaryGrounds retweeted
Arguing over the details of what precisely constitutes a concentration camp is a pretty good sign that we are fucked

I’ve said this before but because today is Juneteenth it feels appropriate to say again: interview your older family members while they’re still alive. There’s so much history. My grandmother’s grandfather, who raised her, was born an enslaved person. I didn’t know until I asked.
