[Black Lives Matter (BLM) @Blklivesmatter]

It's been 4 years since Breonna Taylor's life was stolen by Louisville Metro Police. And to this day no officers have been held accountable for her murder.

We love you, Breonna. You should be alive today. We will continue to honor you through our revolutionary movement. 🖤

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Slavery was Legal.

Colonialism was Legal.

Jim Crow was Legal.

Apartheid was Legal.

Legality is a matter of Power, NOT Justice.

Whew! Needed this today.

Still.

#SayHerName. #SandraBland should be celebrating her 37th birthday today. “Until justice rolls down like water...”

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Sandra Bland should have turned 37 years old today.

Rest In Power, soror 💙🐩💛

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Trayvon Martin would’ve turned 29 today.

He should be celebrating with his family and friends.

Happy heavenly birthday, Trayvon. 🕊

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

The is the type of photo we may see of white youth, even white adults, who have killed people. Trayvon was killed, his killer free, and we seldom saw photos of this Black boy, full of promise and hope, enjoying space camp. Many of us are working to make the world better, Trayvon.

The government funds family separation and not housing because this is precisely what the “child welfare”/family policing system is designed to do—and why we must abolish it & reimagine safety & care. #TornApart #abolishCPS

Advice of the year.

[Tabitha Brown @IamTabithaBrown]

How dare you let someone who doesn’t even take care of themselves upset you???

[Dorothy Roberts @DorothyERoberts]

Punishing DV survivors by weaponizing their children is one of the many ways CPS/family policing makes children less safe.

[Joyce McMillan @JMacForFamilies]

It’s been 50 years since CAPTA’s enactment-CAPTA has identifiedand targeted Black & brown families who have less resources. It’s time to stop scratching the surface and make real change. It’s time to separate POVERTY and NEGLECT
IT’s TIME TO REPEAL CAPTA https://t.co/L8ciT1bAlW

[Joyce McMillan @JMacForFamilies]

Families just want to feel safe in their homes, and protected from the intrusion of CPS Agents who bully, call the police and use other unsavory tactics to enter instead of getting a court order signed after showing probable cause to a judge.
