Insulin should be free. Healthcare should be free.

Americans shouldn’t have to go into debt because they get sick.

“Biden, Biden whaddya say,
How many kids did you kill today?

🇵🇸 Another packed Volunteer Meeting for Palestine to prepare for the May 31st Student Walkout and June 8th when we take our demands to the White House!! The massacre carried out this past weekend in Rafah by Israeli forces—and 76 years of violent occupation—are our red line. Biden, WE are your red line! STOP THE GENOCIDE! #ShutItDown4Palestine

#OnThisDay in 1963, the nation’s most violent reaction to a sit-in protest took place when a mob attacked Black and white activists at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Jackson, Mississippi.

One of them, Tougaloo College professor John Salter, said, “I was attacked with fists, brass knuckles and the broken portions of glass sugar containers, and was burned with cigarettes. I’m covered with blood, and we were all covered by salt, sugar, mustard, and various other things.”

Salter and fellow protesters Joan Trumpaeur and Anne Moody, who were both Tougaloo students, can be seen in the famous picture of the event. The protest came eight days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state enforcement of restaurant segregation is a violation of the 14th Amendment.

M.J. O’Brien’s book, “We Shall Not Be Moved: The Jackson Woolworth’s Sit-In and the Movement It Inspired”, describes that event.

Biden terrifies me more because he represents the normalizing of everything people say they fear with Trump. The fact people don’t see it makes it even more terrifying. Biden is successfully
lulling people into a state of complacency as conditions rapidly deteriorate

We can’t personal responsibility our way out of 400+ yrs & counting of slavery, genocide, colonialism & systemic racism.

We cannot “beat the system”, “reform the system” or “change the system from the inside.”

We actively dismantle a system built on our enslavement or we don’t.

On this day in 1831, the Supreme Court failed to enforce treaties that would have protected the Cherokee people from state and federal interference and from forcible removal later that year. https://t.co/XHvWbLJpCl

We’ve gone from “standing with Israel”, no debate, no ceasefire

to “there has to be a ceasefire” & Netanyahu has “lost his way”

PROTEST WORKS. KEEP PRESSING.

Hitler didn't want to kill Jews? Sounds like holocaust denial.

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

The U.S. has now vetoed 3 U.N. Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The U.S.’ rival draft resolution is not enough. It shields the Israeli government from accountability and would not achieve the immediate, lasting ceasefire needed to save lives.

As a survivor of rape, AIPAC’s tactic of exploiting rape is outright vile and appalling.

Their playbook relies on bullying, lying, harassing, belittling & intimidation to try to manipulate the public & force those calling for a ceasefire into submission. It won’t stop us.

A Texas judge has ruled that a school district can force Darryl George to cut his natural locs, despite the state’s CROWN Act that prohibits hairstyle discrimination. This is anti-Blackness in a country that they keep telling us has never been racist.

On this day in 1898, a white mob attacked Frazier Baker, the first Black postmaster of Lake City, SC, and his family. Both Mr. Baker and his infant daughter were killed in the attack. https://t.co/magzk0dlSH
