Naming white supremacy is not the problem.
Actual white supremacy is the real problem.

A man killed five people in their home last night in Texas after they asked him to stop firing an AR-style rifle in his yard. The youngest was 8 years old.

Another horrific act of gun violence in America. Our lawmakers cannot stay silent. https://t.co/NZQekLvqSH

You shouldn’t get shot for ringing the wrong doorbell.

You shouldn’t get shot for entering the wrong driveway.

And you shouldn’t get shot for getting in the wrong car.

This is the country the gun industry has created. And too many Americans are shot because of it.

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

Payton Washington is in the ICU after she and a friend, Heather Roth, were shot after getting into the wrong car.

This just days after Ralph Yarl & Kaylin Gillis were shot.

The gun industry sells paranoia and violence. This is the end result.

The teen miraculously saved himself by fleeing & banging on 3 neighbors’ doors for help. At the 3rd home, the neighbor told Yarl to lie on the ground & put his hands in the air, which he did and then passed out. The neighbors should be accountable too. https://t.co/17vykjzhGv

Ringing the wrong doorbell should not be a death sentence for Black children.

We must confront racist violence and continue to dismantle white supremacy. Black children deserve to grow old.

Praying for Ralph's recovery.

Ralph Paul Yarl was picking up his two siblings. He went to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri. The White man who opened the door did not see a lost 16-year-old boy. He saw a threat. Shot Ralph, twice. Once in the head to kill him. Somehow Ralph survived. 1/

@karlaaatorress Congrats, Karla!!! They are lucky to have you.

Things that did _not_ kill kids today:

- a renaissance sculpture
- a film about Ruby Bridges
- drag queen story time
- the word ‘tampon’
- critical race theory
- woke banks
- saying that Rosa Parks was Black
- gender-affirming care
- ‘The Bluest Eye’

What did:

-an AR-f––ing-15

[Lily Lewis @Lily_Lew2]

@radiogrego Love the show! So sorry to hear this.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Truly being pro-life means supporting what it takes to have a child in the first place—from pregnancy, to birth and beyond:

—Maternal healthcare
—Affordable child care
—Paid family leave
—Universal pre-K
—Expanded Child Tax Credits

Otherwise, you’re just pro-forced birth.

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

More than ever before, Americans do not want the U.S. to be complicit in Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinian children & families. Not $1 of U.S. aid should be used to imprison Palestinian children in military detention facilities, or used to tear down their homes.

You would not tell someone to whiten their skin to combat colorism.

So how could you combat accentism with accent modification, which, by the way, often entails whitening an accent?

[Vijay Ramjattan @Vijay_Ramjattan]

"I want a native speaker."

When students say this, they are not necessarily referring to what a teacher should sound like, but rather, what they look like.

[Academic Chatter™ @AcademicChatter]

Sharing that you don't want or need to use the title "Dr" is a privilege not everyone has. Without the title, some (particularly under-represented folk) aren't seen, taken seriously, or believed. Remember this if you find yourself questioning why others proudly display it.

[Leah Goodridge @leahfrombklyn]

The marketing campaign against remote work is truly relentless.

@karlaaatorress 🎉🎉🎉 I need updates!!!

[Lily Lewis @Lily_Lew2]

@lakshmyrkrish @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter I highlight and extract those annotations in Zotero. Then I add 1-2 sentence summary at the top of the notes. Writing actual notes doesn’t actually seem like a good use of my time with 350+ articles in my library.

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

This is what a college campus looks like tonight in America.

Tomorrow marks five years since the shooting in Parkland.

Tonight, the nation is watching as another shooting unfolds at Michigan State University.

We don’t have to live like this.
