CULTURE DOES NOT NEED YOUR PERMISSION. YOU don’t have to understand every word to understand that it wasn’t made to exclude you. It just wasn’t made to center you.
And that’s okay. 4/4

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.
It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.
This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

FBI headquarters is named after J. Edgar Hoover, who used State power to destroy MLK’s reputation, undermine his movement, and encourage him to kill himself. If you value “fairness and justice,” denounce Hoover’s legacy, rename the building, and exonerate everyone you railroaded.

I dislike when people say "I know her, I went to school with her,” We graduated almost 10 years ago & you knew me as a teenager. I'm sure you can't even recall the last time you had a conversation with me.
You honestly have no idea about my life or transition into womanhood. So no you do not know me, you knew me.

🔥 JUST NOW — Rep. @Ilhan lights up complicit Republicans: “Those of us who escaped places like that, the one place we thought we would never experience this is the united Goddamn states… I am ashamed. And we must do all we can to bring back the 🇺🇸 we all escaped into.

So I know this is hard to believe but actually it really did used to hold a lot of academic merit when we had to perform true research and had critical thinking skills
I love when people say “in college I wrote a paper on…” as if that holds any academic merit

It takes a lot of ignorant racism to live on stolen land and complain about immigration.

On January 15, 1908, nine visionary women at Howard University established a sisterhood that has changed the lives of countless women — including me. And for 118 years, we have continued to lead around the world, with purpose and in service to all mankind. Happy Founders Day!

Happy birthday, Daddy. Thank you for being a bold purveyor of true peace. Thank you for living with purpose and for radically lifting the power of love. Thank you for believing that we can defeat injustice without destroying each other. Thank you for your courage and strategic, compassionate action. Thank you for teaching me so much, even now. I remember you today, on your 97th birthday. I remember you always.

My mother, #CorettaScottKing, “reminding” us of some of the many forms of violence. It’s much more than physical. “May I remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.”
