White people, no one is asking you to apologize for your ancestors. We are asking you to dismantle the systems they built and you maintain.

I just saw a job post that said you need to be available 24/7 365. Who would apply for that?

A key feature of the generational divide is young folks’ understanding of intersectionality as “adults” scoff at their supposed ineptitude as the planet literally burns around us.

The U.S. military has the largest carbon footprint of any entity on earth.

I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

One of the demands of this occupation was to remove “Public Safety” from USC for their targeting of Black and brown students.

The first second of this clip depicts a Public Safety cop putting a student in a chokehold.

Today’s growing student movements, from #ColumbiaUniversity to #UCBerkeley to #USC, calling on their universities to divest from Israeli apartheid, echo the powerful legacy of Vietnam-era student protests, showcasing a deep-rooted tradition of activism for human rights. 1/4

Arrests underway as state troopers raid the Emerson College Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

Students have prepped barricades and a soft umbrella line to defend against less lethals. They’re singing “Which side are you on”

This is not a coincidence…they’re getting ready to squash the resistance

@fuckyouiquit It’s because white American people like the idea of getting better insurance than other American people particularly people of color. The hierarchy is important. If you understand that then all American politics suddenly make sense.

The writers and actors were joined by striking flight attendants and hotel workers on the picket line today. This country is being forced to decide between access to a decent life for 99% of us, or letting the richest people in the world get even richer. That's the fight.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-to-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 2020: 366-to-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio now: 399-to-1

Is it really any mystery why thousands of workers across multiple industries have been on strike?

CNN reports Justice Alito’s Rome trip, following his decision overturning Roe v. Wade, was funded by Notre Dame’s Religious Liberty Initiative – a group that supported the Roe overturn. https://t.co/JIyBtuPv8m

If you know any recent high school graduates of color who may have an interest in attending an HBCU (Delaware State) on a full ROTC scholarship to become a pilot, please dm me.

I have a contact for you.

$525 until we hit $5k to purchase backpacks and school supplies for local kids.

Can’t believe if we hit this years goal we will be at 20,000 local students helped over 8 years
