Hey @SCJohnson what’s the deal with your 20-count Ziploc gallon bag package only having 16 bags in it??! I’m trying to make up school supply donations and now I’m in this unexpected pickle. Not cool.

I just went to a School Board meeting and gave the most insane speech about Critical Race Theory.
The progressives in the audience thought it was hilarious.
The conservatives thought I was serious and cheered for me.

Video dropping soon.

Stand with us this Sunday. Bring a donation. Celebrate female pioneers. Empower women who have fled abuse. Honor and remember women who could not fight back. 💜

Inclusion does not = equity.

Diversity does not = justice.

Tolerance does not = love.

A great work of historical fiction can transport you to another time and place as it brings history to life. These powerful stories will show readers that girls have always been a part of history. https://t.co/yeQzLbNCJK

No one should be okay with anyone living in poverty.

Vinnie Bagwell is an American representational-figurative sculptor who uses bas-relief techniques as visual narratives to expend her storytelling, giving deeper meaning to the legacies of marginalized people of color.

Please don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King. #MLK

Thank you Yorktown for an amazing food drive for our community! And no better day to do it than when we celebrate Dr. King's life and legacy! #YorktownNY #YorktownforJustice #MLKDayofService

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian who died as an enemy of the State. Anything else is just a lie.

Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.

Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.

Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.

Love puts in work.
