@MHarrisPerry Sending light love and healing your way

So, lemme get this straight. An uber qualified Black man, who was most recently the Deputy State Supt of North Carolina and a Mississippi native, is unanimously chosen by the State Bd of Ed as the new State Supt but is NOT confirmed based on what? https://t.co/V7wJQddk60

I'm thinking I'll RT this every few hours since @WNYC execs are bullying us with language about "rules violations" and "union activism" on social media. #WeMakeNYPR @sagaftra #UnionStrong

Feel free to RT and join in a little #GoodTrouble making

Yeah we feel exactly the same way. We're going to try to keep making radio worth listening to here on @TheTakeaway right up until the end on June 2.

The leaders of BJC HealthCare and Washington University rejected calls for a moratorium on transgender care, saying they wouldn’t deny critical care to patients. The two said they would establish additional oversight. https://t.co/T7c3e6mKyZ

This is so vile. This racist white woman weaponizes her white womanhood through the age old American practice of lying about Black male violence. The only more disgusting is her confidence that her tactics will work.

@MsPackyetti Yep. That’s what motivated me during Ferguson

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

Watching WOMEN TALKING, the film allegory of the feminist movement, I was struck at how in the film, as in real life, no women of color were included. The film stated it was a true story in “the female imagination”. Even in the feminist utopia, women of color aren’t considered.

@bdoulaoblongata Well I had twins first so I didn’t have the option of one. That doesn’t explain why I have four lol. One looks hard too. You are an amazing mom.

[Amy A Hunter @amyhunterstl]

@EyeHeartUrFace @bdoulaoblongata It’s not going to work this time

[Amy A Hunter @amyhunterstl]

@ChiefExecBear It is really terrible. The question is why is it so acceptable? The desire to hid the ugly truth has always been there. Instead of denial we could work towards progress which includes truth tellers and love.

If you actually think we need a white history month, not only should you not be making school policy. You should have to return your 8th grade diploma…

BREAKING:

The Senate has voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation to codify federal protection for marriages of same-sex and interracial couples, 61 to 36.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.

The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.

[Melissa Harris-Perry @MHarrisPerry]

This gas lighting of @TiffanyDCross is nonsense. I was characterized as “difficult & unpredictable”
Hell I am. Tiffany might be. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Neither of us are accused of harming, raping, abusing colleagues or lying on air about verifiable facts.
Those who did are/were treated better.

[Amy A Hunter @amyhunterstl]

@MsPackyetti Happy birthday. You are so beautiful.

1/ I don’t know why anyone would be shocked at right-wingers laughing off the attack on Paul Pelosi and attempted attack on the Speaker. Reactionaries have a long history of cheering violence against their enemies. It’s kinda their brand actually. A brief thread…
