@Bunny_ngl It’s not all men, but it’s always a man, and it’s hard to tell which ones.

@ScottBalkum @krassenstein I have to show my ID every single time I vote. What are you saying ?

@ICEgov If you don’t get yo…

352 survivors of SA. 158 years of failure. 8 years of broken promises. 2 task forces. 2 administrations. It’s time. New Jersey’s Youth Prisons are living on borrowed time and every day they remain open, this state remains complicit in the traumatizing of our youth.

apparently today is my 10th college graduation anniversary. I’m shook.

Meritocracy doesn’t work if access is not equitable.

[Leading Report @LeadingReport]

BREAKING: President Trump has signed an executive order affirming that all citizens should be treated equally under the law, emphasizing meritocracy and a colorblind society over race- or s*x-based favoritism.

[Ashanti D. Jones, PhD @ShanDesJones]

@magolnick @MAGAJAMESGUY @LeadingReport It really should matter because people still have a right to visitation with family and friends and to access their attorneys. If they’re using a public defender, we (the taxpayers) would bear the costs of that.

Today is my mothers birthday. The first since she’s passed on. The fact that there’s snow outside in the Springtime, doesn’t surprise me. It’s just as unnatural to celebrate a birthday when the life of the party is gone. 🕊️🤍

@cherixo_ Only my workout clothes hit

[New Jersey Institute for Social Justice @NJ_ISJ]

The Institute wouldn't make history without the work of phenomenal women.

Their racial justice advocacy has transformed NJ, #fromthegroundup. Please join us in celebrating them :@henal214; @DrLauraSullivann ;@ShanDesJones;@nuzhatjc,@AssattaMann;@MWendyliz & @MotwaniRupa

[Lloyd or Jason @LloydJNelson]

Does the New Jersey legislature know it’s allowed to work the entire year and not just a couple of weeks in December?

[Ashanti D. Jones, PhD @ShanDesJones]

Are you fighting for freedom or are you fighting for privilege?

[Ashanti D. Jones, PhD @ShanDesJones]

@cherixo_ If only, apparently she was supposed to calm after being spit on by a stranger and they said her “erratic behavior” was assault on a police officer.
Sis has court tomorrow.

[Ashanti D. Jones, PhD @ShanDesJones]

@cherixo_ Ha! They were called and they arrested HER 🙃

Happy birthday brother 🤍

[zellie @zellieimani]

Today is my birthday. It’s been a very emotional day. I don’t have the words I normally would have for my birthday.

But I think we still need community, and need it now more than ever.

Consider donating to my organization, to help our work.
