To recap this week's news: Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas were both accused of public corruption but it's okay because neither of them used a bullhorn so Tennessee expelled two black guys who want to stop the NRA from murdering children Texas forces people to give birth to.

[Georgia Youth Justice Coalition for Action @georgiayouthco]

HAPPENING NOW: So many folks have showed up to speak out about #SB140 in the Georgia House Public Health Committee today that the hearing hasn't started yet. For trans youth everywhere, remember you are loved and you belong in our state. #gapol

[Nicole Phillips @BuddhistLawyer]

Protests continue daily throughout #Haiti demanding end to US-backed regime of Ariel Henry. This is a few hours ago in Petionville, passing through Juvenat.

[HaitiInfoProj @HaitiInfoProj]

Massive protest against US-backed regime in Ti Gwav, #Haiti this morning. This marks 7 weeks of recent cycle of non-stop protests against foreign interference, IMF imposed austerity and calls for a govt of national unity to organize free and fair elections.

We’re moments from having the state create registries where pregnant women have to declare their status and prepared to be monitored for nine months until a baby is produced.

There’s a massive story unfolding in Atlanta, but it’s barely getting any media attention. Right now the city’s forest, a vital site for humans and animals alike, is under attack, and some amazing people are fighting back. Here’s the story. 🧵

These Black-led Community Organizations in Buffalo could really use your support after the anti-Black white supremacist mass shooting that took place on May 14th. 🧵👇🏿

Deaths of Haitians and other black migrants in Mexico are very rarely reported.
I can't even tell you how many funerals @HaitianBridge have paid for, coordinated since January 1st 2022.
Another life lost today in Tapachula. My soul is in pain, my heart hurts 💔
