Please excuse my appearance on the video but I want to share my recent experience flying with @Delta

Traveling for the holidays and returning to the DMV turned into a deeply traumatic experience for me. My wheelchair was damaged, I was dropped, abandoned when I needed assistance, and treated poorly throughout the journey. This experience has left me mentally and emotionally unwell as well in physically pain.

I have filed a claim and submitted a report, but Delta has yet to respond. Although I'm not okay mentally, I am determined to fight for justice. Disabled people should be able to travel without fear of their mobility aids being damaged. We should not be mistreated or made to feel like burdens simply because we require assistance. We are human beings with feelings, and it is long overdue for airlines to take responsibility and treat disabled customers with dignity and respect.
I am extremely disappointed in how l've been treated and firmly believe I deserve compensation for the pain and suffering l've endured. While I continue to speak out about what happened, l'm going to take legal action because now I'm dealing the financial burden of getting my chair fixed as well medical expenses.

this is why "i'll cough on you" isn't some harmless joke. it's a threat and people who say it intend for it to be taken as a threat. stop lying about other people's intentions and open your eyes to the ableism that is alive and well in your face!!!!!!!

JUSTICE FOR PORSHA NGUMEZI! / END THE WAR ON WOMEN!

A third Texas mother has died after being denied proper medical treatment under the state's anti-abortion laws.

Porsha Ngumezi arrived in the hospital while experiencing severe bleeding from a miscarriage. She was told by doctors that she would need a procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C), but doctors never performed that procedure.

D&C – a routine, lifesaving procedure – is being performed less frequently in Texas because it is sometimes used to end pregnancies.

it’s so important to engage in Black feminism abroad as well

Shirley Chisholm's words are just as true now as they were then. As we have always said, when Black women sit at decision making tables, those tables make better decisions for the whole country.

Remember Danie as the prescient, insightful wordsmith she was. Her words will live on.

after reading chapter three of Principles of Digital Black Feminism by Catherine Knight Steele, it taught me the various components that make up Digital Black Feminism. Digital Black Feminism encompasses intersectionality, community building and support, and resistance /1

[liberation @femmeroots]

Digital Black Feminism challenges oppressive structures and allows Black women to create their own narrative

[Jerry Mitchell @JMitchellNews]

120 years ago today, Mary McLeod Bethune opened a training school in Daytona Beach, Florida, with “$1.50, faith in God and five little girls.” Discarded crates and boxes served as their desks and chairs.

Eventually that school became an accredited institution, Bethune-Cookman College, and she served as a college president, one of the few women in the world to do so.

“Invest in the human soul,” she urged. “Who knows? It might be a diamond in the rough.”

A determined civil rights leader, she decried the lynchings of Black Americans and fought for voting rights and better health care. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed her as a national adviser of his “Black Cabinet” to direct the National Youth Administration. She was known as “The First Lady of The Struggle” because of her dedication to the movement.

Her home in Daytona Beach was designated as a National Historic Landmark. In 2018, the Florida Legislature designated her to become one of two statues representing the state inside the U.S. Capitol. Two years later, Time selected her as one of the most influential women of the past century.
