In the United States, women are considerably more likely to be registered to vote and to go to the polls than men. So women, show up in November like your life depends on it! Because it does!

Within a day after the Supremacist Court of the yet to be United States of Amerikkka struck down #AffirmativeAction, some of the same companies that gave lip service to Black Lives mattering and diversity, equity, and inclusion in the wake of the George Floyd murder, got rid of 4 Black women working to diversify their predominantly white companies.

Where are all those “allies“ that were marching?

Joy Reid is telling the truth here about her experience with affirmative action. This is why I wrote in Psychology Today that the assumption of Black intellectual inferiority drives much of the negative attitudes toward affirmative action.

From Galveston …. So much African American history there needing to be preserved and celebrated.

[Disruptive Historian @tanyadebose]

It's National Preservation Month! Join this thread by telling us it's an endangered Black place without telling us it's an endangered Black place. Let's go!
Here's 2 shotgun houses on Galveston Island once home to dock workers. There's a story here that's worth telling.

Agreed places such as “Freedmen’s Town,” in Houston, TX are being erased bit by bit. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has yet to fully recognize or grant support to one of the last remaining areas where formerly enslaved peoples made their home.

[Disruptive Historian @tanyadebose]

It’s Preservation Month. As I drive around surveying historic neighborhoods I see homes like this that clearly have a story. How can we inspire preservation in older Black communities where structural racism has existed for years? Just need a little hope if you can help me out.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

We have a gun violence epidemic in our country due to the proliferation of bad laws that lead to weapons of war in the hands of people who should never have access to them. We deserve ACTION from lawmakers whose apathy keeps allowing this to happen.

@Comedydaddy “Actors, costumes, and staging
While most women’s roles were played by boys or young men in the all-male casts, comic female parts such as Juliet’s Nurse might be reserved for a popular adult comic actor, or clown.”https://t.co/o0INYHSmFH

Activist Angela Davis returned her award from the city of Atlanta to protest “Cop City.” We recently sat down with her to understand why.
