True story.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Jesus was not a white, American man.

The U.S. flag is not a symbol for the Church or for Jesus.

The National Anthem is not a holy hymn.

Slavery was not a “necessary evil.”

The oppressor even tries to control the response to oppression.

The truth will make us free.

so schools can’t force students to wear a mask... but they can force girls to cover up when they wear a spaghetti strap tank top??? ok.

BREAKING: The Trump administration just agreed to rescind its harmful policy that would've barred international students who attend universities or colleges that are fully online this upcoming semester.

This is what victory looks like.

Keep speaking out. Keep fighting back.

The President of the United States shared a video in which people supporting him shouted “White Power!” And it has thousands of likes and retweets. This is America.

Saw an article that said the Colorado governor would look into the death of Elijah McClain because millions of people signed a petition which is nice but imagine how much nicer it would be if it didn’t take millions of signatures to look into the death of an innocent black man

It’s been 96 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered in her home. And for 96 days, while everyone has cried and protested and lobbied for her murderers to be fired and arrested, the state has ignored her.

this is disgusting. it’s unsettling. this is horrific. these people deserve so much more, these children deserve so much more, these mothers and fathers, i can’t believe our bullshit country thinks this is okay. ABOLISH ICE. FUCK ICE.

[Congressmember Bass @RepKarenBass]

It's been 93 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered and the only arrest made in relation to her death was the arrest of her partner, who was charged for defending himself against the intruders invading their home.

My marriage lasted twice as long as the Confederacy and I’ve already taken down all the monuments

[RK Jackson | Atlanta 🛸 @theerkj]

Breonna Taylor was murdered 91 days ago. We are almost 3 weeks into her FBI investigation and no charges or arrests, just a bill banning no-knock warrants, like the one illegally used to murder her. These 3 officers still need to be brought to justice.

Hi @ChuckGrassley, as much as we Iowans love soybeans, we also love ending systems of oppression and seeing our legislators advocate for #BLM. What are you doing to end police militarization, end for profit policing, and fight for racial equity??

College RAs have more de-escalation trainings than cops do

Transformative change starts with us in the streets demanding it.

Defunding the police sounds radical until you realize realize we’ve been defunding education for years.

just an fyi curfews were created because the protests were so peaceful and law enforcement needed a reason to advance on people -- by being out past curfew, they could find protesters unlawful, even for peaceful protest

[Andrea Roberts, PhD @FreeBlackTX]

I never again want anyone to say theorizing doesn’t lead to change. Black feminist theory and intersectionality informed the creation of black lives matter. We’d never be this close to change without powerful black queer women organizing & theorizing.
