This is the end game. That’s why these anti-CRT laws are memory laws.
Some parents recently confronted TN's ed commissioner about "critical race theory" in schools. tn.chalkbeat.org/2021/6/30/2… What specifically were they complaining about? A curriculum teaching elementary school students about school desegregation. tennessean.com/story/news/lo…

If any of you are under the impression that our billionaires might succeed in "escaping" to space, while the world burns, let me put those fears to rest with what I know from being the spouse of a NASA flight controller. 🧵

When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.

Please never forget that Chauvin is going to prison today not because the legal system works but because Darnella Frazier captured video that prevented the city of Minneapolis from engaging in a cover up.

The TikTok strike truly is amazing b/c it shows not only how US pop culture is built on stealing from Black people, but how the music industry depends on this cycle of theft & white washing in order to monetize the music.

Our children must learn that we are the greatest and freest country in the history of the world, and we will demonstrate this by barring educators from teaching things we do not like, and in the name of liberty, mandating government control of what ideas can be exchanged.

Some cities have signed contracts with police unions to systematically destroy evidence of police sexual assault: static1.squarespace.com/stat…
it has not occurred to journalists who cover "crime" to ask how many sexual assaults police commit through illegal strip searches or to even alert their readers that **the police exclude their own sexual assaults** from the "violent crime stats" in their articles.

This is damn near impossible. It's like asking: "Can you briefly explain how the universe works?" However, there are some things people should know. A thread.
Replying to @michaelharriot
Can you break CRT down in a thread pls?
