The United States has had over 160 years to label the Ku Klux Klan a terrorist organization and still hasn’t. The government dismantling the Black Panther Party while the head of the Klan is currently giving interviews tells you everything you need to know about this country.
Henrietta Lacks, a native Virginian, passed away on this day in 1951. I declared today Henrietta Lacks Day in our Commonwealth as we remember her life, legacy, and impact on scientific research. After her death, her family learned that samples of her uniquely replicable cells had been taken without her consent during treatment for a cervical tumor — a decision made without her knowledge that has since contributed to tremendous advances in medical and scientific research. Today, we remember her name and honor her legacy.

It's crazy that conservatives are like, “I don’t trust the government,” but then trust the government to put people to death by supporting the death penalty.
We need to bring back intellectual elitism.
Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a chat gpt AI subscription.
yeah the mum is a fucked up horrible disgusting person and should rot in prison but why is she getting life and the guy who did the actual raping is only getting 8 years??? make it make sense.
We need to also please be very loud and supportive for Kendall who was violently raped by an LSU football player and bravely told her story to the world
She lost her son, and then the state told her she had killed him, and then it put her in a cell to die for it.
Her nine-month-old son stopped breathing. She ran to a neighbour, tried CPR the way she had seen it done, and drove him to the hospital.
He died. Mississippi charged her with his murder and sentenced her to death. She was eighteen.
Sabrina Butler. The bruising on the baby's body was from her attempts to resuscitate him. The prosecution presented it as a beating.
No one told her she had the right to remain silent in any way she understood. She gave a statement trying to explain what she had done, and it was used against her.
Her trial lasted a matter of days. The jury took less than an hour. She was sent to death row at nineteen, pregnant with her second child, and gave birth in custody.
The Mississippi Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 1992.
At the retrial in 1995, medical evidence showed the child had died of a kidney condition — a documented illness, not an injury. She was acquitted in about twenty minutes.
Sabrina Butler is the first woman in the United States ever exonerated from death row. Mississippi has never compensated her.
She now speaks publicly against the death penalty. She has said the hardest part was never the cell. It was that for five years nobody would let her grieve.
Sabrina Butler’s case is the kind of buried injustice that helped inspire our Ebook, 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For—because some of our stories leave questions that still deserve answers.

The idea that higher education should only be pursued as a way to make as much money as possible is evidence we’ve entirely lost the plot of what it means to be human
Black Americans: hey just acknowledge the fact that you use AAVE and incorrectly
Non black. Oh you fucking n*gger Americans. No one wants to be like you or speak like you. We were forced to speak your black ass language
