For the last few years @ACLUAlabama has reported on Alabama’s Board of Pardons and Parole. This summer, our staff and interns went a step further in attending over 200 parole hearings and gathered data on @ABPPalabamagov's abysmal parole grant rate.

In 1944, a group of white men lynched Reverend Isaac Simmons, a minister and farmer who owned 270 acres of land in Mississippi because they believed the land had oil deposits. Goal- to steal his land and profit from it.

Oh, they weren’t finished after killing the Reverend. The men then brutally beat his son and ran him out of the county.

This is one story of many where racially motivated killings of Black people in the Jim Crow South resulted in farms and land being violently stolen to profit and benefit white farmers.

This is what they’re hiding while telling Black folks to pick themselves up by the “bootstraps.”#FreshVoicesRise #BlackHistoryWithLana

My father didn’t pass away.
He was assassinated.

A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America.

Most hated.

Many who quote one #MLK line, tweet egregious AI photos of him, and evoke him to deter justice actually despise #TheInconvenientKing.

How should we manage terrible memories from childhood: Unearth them? Let them lie? Or something in between? A study from @KingsIoPPN compares outcomes for abuse victims based on whether they reported being abused or not. Comments are open & worth reading. https://t.co/DBDF395PZB

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

See the problem with rich people is they think they are rich because they are smart instead of the truth of the matter is, for the vast majority, it just simply means they are white and their family did inhumane things to humans 4 generations ago to acquire wealth

[Rula Jebreal @rulajebreal]

In Athens,with Greek PM Mitsotakis in attendance, ⁦@BarackObama⁩ criticized the disparity between media coverage of a lost sub while ignoring a tragic shipwreck in the Mediterranean.
For hours Greece’s coastguard ignored the boat’s 800 refugees…until 700souls drowned/died.

@JoyGoblin @Tema_Time Hi! I’m currently on maternity leave so you must have me mistaken for someone else. Best of luck!

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!

Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

The Arizona Supreme Court, made up entirely of Republican-appointed justices, has ruled that the Mormon Church has the “privilege” to refuse to report or answer questions about child sexual abuse if they learn of the crime during a confessional setting. https://t.co/UnwSGiMxot

🚨 EMERGENCY: The white woman on the left with the pink hair at a Black Lives Matter protest is an UNDERCOVER POLICE OFFICER from Colorado Springs named April Rogers.

With the help of the FBI, she created a fake identity named Chelsie, and pretended to be a sex worker that was disturbed by police brutality. It was all a lie.

Once she infiltrated local groups in Colorado, she started trying to get peaceful Black leaders to commit a slew of gun crimes. Which they thankfully refused. Over and over again she tried to get people to break the law.

This right here is what we are up against. She's still employed by the Colorado Springs Police.

@alphabetboys.pod did the hard work to uncover this. Grateful for the team there.

Footage of Darryl Tyree Williams’ encounter with Raleigh Police (NC) has been released nearly a month after his death. Sadly, Black men continue to die from police traffic stops and families are having to mourn the loss of their loved ones. When will these needless deaths stop?!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

In the U.S., the richest mothers and their newborns are the most likely to survive the year after childbirth — except when the family is Black, according to a groundbreaking new study. https://t.co/Y8gZRM0oTJ
