@Bakari_Sellers@NewsCentralCNN Curious if her continual reference to the rights and liberties of individual people extends to individual rights and liberties of enslaved Black people.
@DrRosalesMeza Perhaps doing what one needs to do to be able to wake up each morning and continue to fight for justice and liberation is what true self care is all about.
@ibramxk Happy birthday and gratitude for the gifts you have given to the world. The ripple effect of your work has been (and continues to be) profound.
@determinanted@CalltoActivism I’m curious if the school created an opportunity for the students to engage in a thoughtful dialogue or if they were expected to sit quietly, listen, and then clap politely.
@steveplotnicki@_Zeets Are you suggesting that what makes a vibrant, healthy, and equitable society is how much revenue we can generate? Looking at the long range impacts of capitalism I would say we might want to rethink that paradigm.
@itsmine49 @msolurin Because when someone disrespects women/POCs/people with disabilities/LGBTQ folks etc. in a public setting, it has an impact on everyone, not just the individual who was the recipient of the bad behavior. When we do nothing, we condone it. When we excuse it away, we perpetuate it.
@cliff_notes And I cannot help but wonder if the response from Memphis PD would have been anywhere near as swift or as severe had these officers been white. Layers upon layers upon layers of systemic racism are at play.
