Without community, there is no liberation...but community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist.
~ Audre Lorde
Praying for all whose hearts are broken, whose minds are fatigued, whose souls are weary.
I’m grateful that you’re still here.
And I encourage you on to hope, healing and health. 🙏🏾
"If you don’t know, you better ask somebody. His name was Michael K. Williams."
From co-stars of “The Wire” to fans, musicians and authors, people have been paying tribute to the actor, who died at 54. https://t.co/P5yxbOLoZy
Michael K. Williams, who played Omar Little in "The Wire" with hard-edge charisma, was found dead in his home in Brooklyn. He was 54. His death is being investigated as a possible drug overdose. New York City’s medical examiner will determine the cause. https://t.co/iDCYKVNBa7
The CDC is reporting Native Americans have the highest vaccination rate in the country.
Local and state governments could learn a lot from the vaccination campaigns led by Native Nations.
This happened before and it took more than a half-century to begin to dismantle. We can't be distracted by the Right's war on so-called Cancel Culture. This is where the real fight is. They want to Cancel Democracy. We must fight this like our lives depend on it, b/c they do.
So pouring tens of millions of dollars into high profile Senate races didn’t net a lot of results. But long-term, on the ground organizing to mobilize & protect votes in communities of color did.
Next election cycle lets break the bank to fund the folks actually doing THE WORK.
Still wild that half this country really believes that someday, they too will be rich enough to qualify for the top tax bracket if they just racism hard enough.
Black people uprising against the racist police state is a threat to law & order that can’t be tolerated but armed white mobs forming outside of county buildings to disrupt the ballot counting process is... just part of the process???
I actually don’t agree that another candidate from the primary would’ve done better. I think people continue to be in denial about how racist this country is & how committed the majority of white people are to preserving racial caste despite claims of believing the opposite.
Please don’t forget this election is unfolding amid an unprecedented effort by the incumbent president & his party to prevent a free & fair election. Keep that in mind & fact that it wld be much worse were it not 4 organizers working their everything off to protect ppl’s rights.
