Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
We experience more of an outrage from white parents because their children “might” be uncomfortable when they learn about racism than when Black children actually experience racism in school.
For those saying “Ukraine has nothing to do with us”:
“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.” #MLK
We are tied to Ethiopia.
We are tied to Ukraine.
We are tied to Yemen.
w/ anti-trans laws, war, pandemic conditions, & the everyday grind, today is heavy.
Have you eaten?
Are you drinking water?
Have you had a screen break?
I need you in our struggle for collective liberation, but you have to be around to help.
Take care of yourselves fam ✌🏽❤️✊🏽
western cultures believe we must be alive for a purpose. to work, to make money. some indigenous cultures believe we're alive just as nature is alive: to be here, to be beautiful & strange. we don't need to achieve anything to be valid in our humanness.
When Granbury ISD is looking to “review books”, here is the list they are looking at. It’s 125 books directly from the Krause list (you have to assume they were the ones GISD had from the full list) and 5 I guess they stumbled upon. (1/2)

@lesliebm81302@_benjvmins_ Each year since 1990, the @SPLcenter has published an annual census of hate groups (per capita) operating within the US. Received a paper version of this map in the mail a few months back & was disappointed but not surprised to see 16 in Jersey. https://t.co/stQL7YWNhD
Would you help me tweet this around the world?
Kindness matters
But kindness does not = justice
Civility counts
But civility is not the humane response to injustice
Justice is
Love is essential
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander
Love puts in work.
#MLKDay
This #MLKDay, I will not accept empty promises in pursuit of my father's dream.
I do not want to see photo ops of elected officials if they are not willing to put voting rights over the filibuster.
Today is a day of service and action.
Congress must #DeliverForVotingRights.
