Y’all, @nichelleisuhuru.
Heartbroken at the news of her passing, however, I am comforted in the knowledge that she illuminated the way for so of us many with her grace, beauty, talent, intelligence and her commitment to humanity going boldly to the stars! #godess#queen
🙏🏾♥️🌹🖖🏾
One of my most treasured photos - Godspeed to Nichelle Nichols, champion, warrior and tremendous actor. Her kindness and bravery lit the path for many. May she forever dwell among the stars. #RIPNichelle#Uhura
For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies.
Today, that right was stolen from us.
And while we may be devastated by this injustice, we will not be silent. We will not sit back as the progress we have already won slips away.
Six unelected individuals just denied women all over America the right to make their own health care decisions.
They did so after swearing to respect the Court’s decision in Roe.
Congress must fight this in every way we can. Or this Court will return us to the Stone Age.
Today is a very solemn moment for the United States.
The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That's never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
Monumental decision after monumental decision—we are saddened by the loss of personal rights and safety for many at the hands of few. We urge you to register, vote, and hold your elected officials accountable to uphold the will of the people.
Housing justice and reproductive justice are inextricably linked.
The harmful impacts of the Supreme Court’s decision to take away the right to reproductive freedom will fall most heavily on people w/low incomes, and on Black and other people of color. 🧵
It’s our mission to take the struggle out of interacting with the state government. What’s one way we do it? By using plain language. https://t.co/pqcdQrqzVh
Don’t make new years resolutions; make pacts with ancient forest beasts, make promises to old gods, make pledges to the deep wood, and most of all, trade your immortal soul for a terrible power that curls across your skin like uncurling ferns as you move through trembling pines
The students say the intervention Dads on Duty provide is working: “I immediately felt a form of safety. We stopped fighting; people started going to class."
The fathers would like to start chapters across Louisiana, and eventually the country
After 23 students were arrested in 3 days at a Louisiana high school over fights, a group of fathers created Dads on Duty: 40 dads who take shifts at the school.
There hasn't been a single incident at the school since the dads showed up

Today we honor the nearly 3,000 men, women, and children who died on September 11, 2001, and the heroes who have always run towards danger to do what’s right. Let’s never forget that day, and let’s never take them for granted.
