I wrote this blog post about my experience at an abortion rights protest in Buenos Aires several years ago. I didn't have a twitter then, so I'm sharing now! Excited to be back en la Capital Federal this June.
This past summer a powerful movement arose to decriminalize abortion in Argentina. Paula O'Donnell writes about her experience at the demonstrations the night of the vote, and the historic parallels to the Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo. https://t.co/G77Mu3k2qo
The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson
Obviously we can't count on cops to run into an active shooter situation like a superhero even though they like to pretend that's what they are.
So the solution to this problem isn't more cops, it's less shooters. The easiest way to make less shooters is less guns. Period.
@kaulielw 10000%. I’m so sorry your family went through that. 🥺 and it sucks families keep going through this kind of loss when common sense legislation could help so much, as it has in other countries
As someone who was born & raised in Buffalo, collective mourning & healing has been heavy on my heart. I wrote my @BlkPerspectives essay for my community, so we can begin remedying this harm without the police. For a snippet of Black Buffalo’s history see: https://t.co/7UsjQ2GM9s
The @GOP have whined about "Sharia Law" as a boogey man, when they are ACTUALLY trying to FORCE their own religious beliefs on Americans. What happened to separation of church & State?? Trust me, most of them will never make it to the Pearly Gates.
It’s natural on the anniversary of the ‘76 military coup to think of the brutal junta that killed ~30,000 civilians. @memoriaabierta urges us to also remember the heroes that faced them down. Thanks to @NotEvenPast for featuring my article today of all days 💕
March 24th marks Argentina's #DiaDeLaMemoria, which commemorates victims of the '76 military dictatorship. In 'Reflections on Resistance,' @Pau_ODonnell profiles @memoriaabierta, an org leading efforts "to prevent ... forgetting [this] difficult history" https://t.co/6EArOztdvw
One QB kneels during the nat’l anthem & was/is essentially blackballed. The other QB had 22 women accuse him of sexual misconduct & the @browns give him $230mil bc he’s good at football. Women/minorities continue to take L’s & it hurts every time we are reminded where we stand.
