[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

Over 60 Palestinian journalists have been killed at the hands of Israeli forces since Oct. 7.

The goal, @AbbyMartin says, is to hide the absolute inhumanity of the massacre underway.

@ArkansasBlog Free Palestine. Free Congo. Free Sudan. Free all oppressed people.

Cease fire protesters disrupted the opening of a Clinton Library exhibit on state dinners at the White House. They chanted but didn’t resist security escorts out. Clinton was scheduled to appear in person, but appeared on video.

Ceasefire Now! 🇵🇸

Protesters escorted out during Clinton’s video message. He had been on premises earlier.

We have to remember that all politics are local. We have to be informed citizens who vote every time we can and all the way down the ballot. Every election affects our lives. A mid-term election with low turnout got us to here.

A historical marker was just unveiled in North Little Rock at Main and 6th Street where, 117 years ago today, it says Black restaurant owner Homer G. Blackwell was lynched as part of what was known as the Argenta Race Riot for a crime that occurred while he was out of town.

Thanks to my family @intransitiveAR. They donated the left over food from Queertonomy and I was able to pass out 60 boxes of full meals to community members in need 🫶🏾

#OnThisDay in 1957, Elizabeth Eckford, one of nine Black students, attempted to enter Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Unlike the other eight, she had never received the message to stay away from the school,

As she walked toward the school, a mob hurled racist slurs at her and threatened to lynch her, she said. “I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the crowd — someone who maybe could help. I looked into the face of an old woman and it seemed a kind face, but when I looked at her again, she spat on me.”

The 15-year-old student maintained her cool and kept walking. As she made her way to the high school, a white girl named Hazel Bryan began screaming at her. The tormenting continued after she and other Black students began to attend the school.

She told her story in her memoir, “The Worst First Day: Bullied While Desegregating Little Rock Central High.” She said she believed that racial reconciliation was possible “if we have honestly acknowledged our painful but shared past.”

#MarshaPJohnson is the original mother of the gay liberation movement. Her courage to speak out against transphobia & bigotry during the AIDS movement will forever cement her as an icon. On her birthday, we honor her and the undeniable mark that she’s left on the world. 👑

🏳️‍🌈 Together we raised $5,017 of our $5,000 goal to help queer refugees! Yesterday they hired an immigration attorney! Ensuring folks have legal representation is crucial to minimizing abuse that so often happens to migrants and refugees. #MutualAid #Community

With new laws in play, Arkansas' schools tread a delicate balance between established federal mandates and new state laws. As students and teachers head back to the classroom, it's important to #KnowYourRights. Check our our new guide here: https://t.co/ZC6veA4eRk
