Today would have been #TamirRice’s 16th birthday. He should be alive and celebrating. #BlackLivesMatter

With (im)migration in the news these days, now would be a good time to hear @nicole_maelyn present at Perrysburg’s Way Public Library about how migration changed Toledo’s Black communities https://t.co/FXw4L6TjK0 https://t.co/leEeaWq5yN

This is more like a shout of powerful resistance to the attempt of the U.S. government to separate children from their families. https://t.co/fy3Pru5htk

This talk was so soul opening to thinking about interdependent relationships and healing power of relationships with self and in community. Already in ❤️ with #sustainingspirit! Thanks for sharing and passing your wisdom! https://t.co/UrrE3VPqBw

Fab piece by @jelani9 highlighting the painful irony of what is happening to children in Texas today, even as we remember & celebrate #Juneteenth https://t.co/dqAMAK3jMJ

Hi! If anybody in NYC needs a notary for a name/gender change I happen to be one for my day job.

Dealing with cis bureaucracy sucks so I’d love to be a friendly trans face making this process a little easier for you!

(Cis people pass along the offer to your friends)

Breaking: The U.S. has just pulled out of the U.N. Human Rights Council. We spoke with U.N. Special Rapporteur @Alston_UNSR about this move last week—"I think it’s just a general reluctance to participate in the process of being held accountable," he says https://t.co/UTaVmz6ZRz

Happy #Juneteenth.

It feels even more important to celebrate while continuing to fight for #freedom for our black & brown brothers & sisters, as we witness horrors of #zerotolerance #familyseparation policies & #TrumpConcentrationCamp #Juneteenth2018 #KeepingFamiliesTogether

How about we let it go when the massive publicly & privately subsidized $$$ gets redistributed equitably across the generations of folks who lived in the city and were barred bc of race to wealth accumulation in the suburbs? @MayorMikeDuggan that sounds like a good letting go. https://t.co/EKhwp8UjaZ

[Glenn Stevens @glennrstevens]

It's time to let the city vs. suburb issue go. Detroit's recovery is good for everyone. @MayorMikeDuggan #ford #detroit #michigan

We remember and honor the life and legacy of Vincent Chin by continuing the fight for justice. Vincent’s life and murder are also part of the legacy of the auto industry #ForDetroit #detroit https://t.co/4sPslXmdQC

[18 Million Rising @18millionrising]

Today we remember Vincent Chin, who was beaten on this day in 1982 by two white auto workers in Detroit. He would later die of his injuries.

Let's honor Chin's legacy by continuing to fight for justice and organize our communities. https://t.co/8L8LIrzTBr

I can't help thinking of this ? in re: to Ford purchase of #MichiganCentralStation... development based on proximity to transit/downtown is for whom? Transit-oriented displacement is the other piece of this, see for ex. 20th c. urban removal for highways, case in point. https://t.co/jjf8DhBFwi

come out tomorrow to walk for the lives of black women who are consistently being ignored, abused, killed, etc. In the Chicago area as of recent, it’s important to let them know that their lives matter just as well. so please come out and show support. it’s all we need. ❤️✊🏽

From opening with @TaranaBurke to #healingjustice acudetox and reiki to spellmaking with Adrienne Marie Brown, #AMC2018 shows once again the magic of the love in struggle and the struggle in love. And there’s still one more day!! ❤️🦄❤️
