BREAKING: Donald Trump just proudly announced that everyone wanted Roe v. Wade overturned. I think Donald Trump is going to find out just how powerful American women really are. Retweet so all Americans see this and vote accordingly.

Trump has no idea how to be antiracist and neither do you, Stephen Miller.

"We don’t teach our children this country was built on slave labor, our constitution only included white property-owning men pretty much. We had a mass genocide against [American] Indians, in Texas, Mexicans were massacred . . ." -- Dolores Huerta, more ⬇️ https://t.co/g1df3NX7aQ

People who see the Confederate flag as symbolizing service, and sacrifice and heritage have hijacked history.

I smiled hard and wide when I saw this, of course because it is coming from a legend in Jacqueline Woodson. But also because I feel the exact same way. #StampedBook is coming in March. Preorder now.

The NFL took away his job when he accepted the people’s job as a symbol of resistance, as a philanthropist, as an organizer @yourrightscamp for young people. @Kaepernick7 should have both jobs. I’m hoping today is the first step + throw + catch in that direction. #StillWithKap

Always remember this.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich.

Arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community.

New Yorkers know that, they’re not having it, and they’re standing up for each other.

Not talking to our kids about identity—and especially how different identity groups are on the same level and how bad policies cause inequities between identities—is like refusing to give our children the glasses they need to see, to see the roots of our world of inequity.

They are telling us Black folk what they want us to do. Turn our back on the racist policies and hug those who are murdering us as if they are the victims, all the while turning our back on the corrupt policies and the real victims will ensure we keep dying and lying in cells.

From gun violence to climate change young people have continued to step up to the plate when the adults have let them down. They deserve so much better than the world we’re giving them, and they know that, which is why so many of them are working to build a new world themselves.
