@Reuters researched the genealogy of US Presidents, Senators, and top politicians and found family ties to slave owners and #slavery. https://t.co/Rb2JJQqrID
Lions, happy Day One of the 2022-23 academic yr! We are thrilled to have you back on the Bluff. A special shout-out to #LMU26 & #TransferLions...welcome to #ThePride!
For this KY AG to boast that under current laws they had to dismiss, totally misses the point! Months of protesting has stressed that current laws are the root of the problem w/ American justice & need to be abolished before any trials can aim for real justice. #justiceforbreonna
In full support of @WNBA decision to stop play tonight in protest of unjust policing. Pro bball is using their platform. Boycotts hit ppl in their wallets! Blatant disregard for black lives can't be part of the return to normalcy. Things can't continue without consequences #blm
The WNBA announced that the three games scheduled for this evening have been postponed. Information regarding rescheduling of the games will be provided when available.
Agreed! #DemandChange! This boycott is huge b/c sports symbolizes a return to normalcy but injustice can't be normal. For fans, sports is a leisure activity but there's work to be done by everyone. So we don't get to be leisurely as cops commit crimes and brave ppl protest #blm
The NBA and the NBPA today announced that in light of the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to not take the floor today for Game 5 against the Orlando Magic, today’s three games – MIL-ORL, HOU-OKC and LAL-POR have been postponed. Game 5 of each series will be rescheduled.
REMINDER: Americans didn't like John Lewis when he was protesting w/SNCC. Americans didn't like Ali when he refused to go to Vietnam. Americans didn't like @Kaepernick7 when he took a knee for police brutality. Freedom fighters don't do stuff to be liked. They do it for JUSTICE.
U. of #HongKong students wear tshirts w/ #MartinLutherKing quote while cleaning #PillarOfShame statue, which honors victims of 1989 crackdown in #TiananmenSquare. "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." https://t.co/Ij2BGNOdrf
It's sad ppl gotta die b4 officials use their power this way: as L.A.'s budget deadline met with #civilunrest, officials just decided to divert $$ to✊🏿&✊🏽communities, deny LAPD's usual increase, and shut down controversial Gang Database. #LAProtests#BLM https://t.co/EAB3SzjlTz
