you’re welcome guys

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

Carving swastikas into your gun before you hunt Black people isn’t mental illness. It’s white supremacy.

We need to be damn clear about that, because the solutions to those two problems are very different. It’s not brain chemistry, it’s a worldview that doesn’t see us as human.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

If you understand the history of Montgomery -- one of the most prolific slave-trading cities in the US turned brutally repressive apartheid regime after, and majority Black but JUST got its first Black mayor -- it gives so much more perspective to this video. Trust.

On our final day as Richmond Greyhounds….there’s nowhere else we could be. Thank you so much to our magnificent writers’ room. We’d be NOTHING without you. #WritersStrike #tedlasso #believe 💙❤️

It's astonishing sometimes how many people have no idea how many Black men fought in the Civil War -- close to 200k -- and the 200-300k more Black men and women who ran away from slavery & served as cooks, scouts, laborers & spies for the Union, helping secure the Union victory.

You only think that "cis" is a slur because you use "trans" that way.

Hey this is cool but you should have your physical drivers license on you whenever you’re driving because handing a cop your phone with your ID on is counts as consent for them to go through your phone 🫶

Terry Pratchett explains how the system is designed to keep the poor locked in poverty better than any thinker I've read

Please read this 🧵. Lives may literally depend on it.

Also… fuck the cops. I said what I said.

Thinking a lot today about Kitty Genovese, a lesbian from Brooklyn, whose brutal and senseless murder by a stranger was twisted and exploited to push a racist, anti-urbanist, and factually-incorrect narrative that has shaped the last 50+ years of American history. ❤️🧡🤍💜

@TheTrentCrimm my older brother went to Ashland University. Now that you’ve started wearing shirts plugging the eagles, my entire family has been VERY active in the group chat 😂

[elisabeth @shermanelis]

The man who killed Jordan Neely wasn’t protecting himself. He was empowered by a cultural movement that has normalized regular citizens deputizing themselves as judges and executioners in the name of white supremacy. Infamously this also happened in another period of US history

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People w/ mental health conditions make up 53% of the population at Rikers.

On average, they are held 61% longer.

We pay $556,000 per person annually to keep them in jail. 90% on Rikers are held without conviction.

By contrast, it costs ~$42k to put them in supportive housing.

Think about how unreliable you have to be to be too unreliable for the MTA!

Fun Fact: Every single state that voted for Donald Trump in 2020 receives more money from the federal government than they contribute to the federal government. Happy Red Welfare States Day to all those who take and celebrate.

THIS is last year's Christmas card from Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican who represents the district that Covenant School is in in Nashville. #tnleg

I’ve seen these in a few books (mostly Feiwel & Friends, if memory serves) and have always wished it was standard across all of publishing. Film & TV have them - why shouldn’t we?

[leyla @leylaaa31]

I just want to share some important context here which is that there are people in New York City who actually make $36,000 a year

[Sorcha Ní Nia @Luiseach]

Dickens struggled with an opium addiction, had 12 children that we know of, several great loves outside of his marriage, was *passionate* throughout his life about reforming the conditions that the working class and the very poorest of society lived and died in, 1/2

[Dr. Danielle @danies394]

Does Bella Ramsey have a “baby face” or has media warped our perception of what 19 year olds actually look like by always casting people in their mid-20s to play teenagers, thus especially reinforcing the idea that young women should somehow always look older?
