Congratulations are in order for the one and only @DaVineJoy who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar last night for her role in ‘The Holdovers’.
This may be Da’Vine’s first Oscar win (and nom) but it certainly won’t be her last!! ✨
On the 59th anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery, we honor the activists who risked their lives by continuing to fight for our fundamental right to vote.
Sojourner Truth's commitment to speaking truth to power laid the groundwork for future generations of activists fighting for justice and equality.
Her legacy reminds us of the importance of intersectional feminism and the ongoing struggle for liberation for all. #WHM 💗
As a nurse, I want you to hear me when I say:
Healthcare should not have a wealth or employment requirement.
Healthcare is a human right.
#MedicareForAll
When we vote, we’re not just voting for the next four years. Each election’s impact lasts for generations.
Our freedoms will always be in jeopardy when candidates like Trump use their power to uphold white supremacy.
That’s why we’re #VotingWhileBlack this year and beyond.
Trump’s win last night is a big signifier of how much work we still need to do and we only have 8 months to do it!
He is an insurrectionist, a liar, and a racist. He has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office.
Calling all Black voters in a #SuperTuesday state! 🗣️
Let's show the power of #VotingWhileBlack at the polls today and remind the country that Black voters can — and will — bring about the change we desperately need.
Share this post to get the vote out!

.@RepTroyNehls just called my husband, a Black man and army veteran, a thug. And I’m the loud Black woman who needs to be silent in order to be safe from violence, or else?
This is the kind of rhetoric that endangers Black lives. He must apologize.
Intimate partner violence can be deadly.
Every single person deserves safety & peace in their relationship. St. Louis, join us next Wednesday, January 31st at 7:00 PM CT for a telephone town hall on IPV & DV resources.

From his pro-slavery comments to his extreme and racist agenda -- DeSantis' had no business trying to be president in the first place.
We couldn't be happier that he's decided to pack his bags to return to Florida where he belongs. BYE BYE, RON 👋
Nikki Haley’s recent comment that “America has never been a racist country” is another comment from her growing list of comments that show a willful denial of the realities facing non-white privileged people in this country.
On this day in 1957, the Little Rock Nine attended their first full day of classes at Central High School.
These pioneers braved jeering students + violent mobs to claim their right to an equal education.
Artist Lyuba Bogan honors their legacy in her painting, “Reflections" ⬇️
We take today and this moment as a reminder that we deserve to take up space. In the face of violence, in the face of hate….Black people deserve to exist. To love, to experience joy, to live, to learn.
Today, 66 years ago, the Little Rock Nine were escorted by federal troops to their first day of school at a previously all-white high school. This came after Brown v Board of Education declared segregation in public schools to be illegal.
We honor them today. What they did was not easy. People got MAD MAD at these kids entering spaces they were previously shut out of. Kicked out of. And worse…
To the greatest athlete of all time, who carried herself with grace and tenacity as she broke barriers in a predominantly white sport — happy birthday!
Thank you, @serenawilliams, for continuing to inspire us towards greatness.
