Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, of @UCIrvine, is asked about job security as she's being arrested for standing w/ pro-🇵🇸 student protestors. Her answer is one that every educator should ask & answer ourselves about our true purpose in the lives of our students. #freepalestine 🍉🫒
@POTUS You have lost my support and my vote. How could you support the total annihilation of a people? Deny who's at fault for the bombing af a hospital? Support a right wing government who is responsible for so much death. I am just one person who can't so much, but I can do this.
Can I just say that it makes no sense that when the Repubs show us who they are & screw up, the nation always looks to the Dems to fix it for them?! You can’t fix stupid & stop electing them if you just want us to do their work!
HISTORY SHOWS THAT THE REPUBS, when in control, consistently trigger shutdowns!!!
BREAKING: Trumper Senator Tommy Tuberville is humiliated as the Senate blows past his blockade and votes overwhelmingly to approve Air Force General C.Q. Brown to lead the Joint Chiefs, making him the second Black officer to lead the Military.
But it gets WORSE for Tuberville…
The vote was so overwhelming that reporters and experts now expect the Senate to also vote to confirm President Biden’s picks to lead the Army and Marines tomorrow.
Adding insult to injury for Tuberville, Politico reports that “even some Republican senators are now predicting action on a few top nominees could lead to talks that ultimately break the logjam” created by Tuberville, with even Republican Senate Armed Services ranking member Senator Roger Wicker agreeing.
Senate Majority Leader wasted no time putting Tuberville on notice after today’s vote, declaring, “In the end, the Senate will overwhelmingly vote to overcome Senator Tuberville’s blockade of these three nominees… and the abortion policy that Senator Tuberville abhors will remain in place.”
Please retweet and ❤️ if you’re thrilled that the Senate is breaking through Tuberville’s blockade — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbByU8
Black men, Republicans want to erase you. They want you brutalized, incarcerated & uneducated.
You voted in 2020, you voted in high numbers. You answered the call.
92% of Black people voted for Biden and 8% for Trump.
Republicans think that they can woo you with a mugshot.
Republicans equate Blackness with crime so surely since Trump was fingerprinted he knows what it’s like to be a Black man.
Republicans want you to forget what they said about Kaepernick.
They want you to forget how angry they were about Black men kneeling.
Trump wants you to forget how he activated the National Guard for George Floyd protests.
Black men won’t forget because Black women will remind them. #FreshWords
Republicans are running around saying that Trump has “street cred” and that Black men will be the new Republican voting block.
We have not forgotten that Trump lied and called two Black women “ballot hustlers.”
We have not forgotten that Trump called for the execution of CP5.
We have not forgotten that he called Black women dogs.
We have not forgotten that Trump called Black men sons of “bitches.”
We have not forgotten that Trump is the execution king.
We have not forgotten “shit hole countries.”
Also, it is not lost that Republicans are equating having a mugshot with Black men.
Republicans don’t hide their racism. #FreshWords
On this day in 1955, Emmett Till, 14, was kidnapped and brutally murdered for whistling at a white woman.
His killers, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, allegedly saw Till whistle at a white women at a gas station.

This is an incredible takedown that shows just how much of a fake grifter Vivek Ramaswamy is.
It’s even crazier than you think.

Meanwhile in Florida, a woman, unable to get an abortion due to DeSantis’ deadly anti-abortion laws had to carry to term a baby that was found to have no kidneys at 24 weeks.
I’ll say that part again, no kidneys and was forced to carry the baby for an additional 13 weeks until she gave birth.
Deborah Dorbert’s son Milo died in her arms on March 3, shortly after birth just like the doctors said would happen.
Forced to carry, knowing there was no chance of survival. Then watching a baby gasp for air and die.
What part of that scenario is pro-life? The walking around for 13 weeks knowing your baby is going to die? Oh wait, is it the part where the baby took one breath and died?
DeSantis chases woke while real-life consequences are happening “death on delivery.”
That’s not governing it’s torture. #FreshResists #FreshVotesBlue
“WOW okay so the most amazing thing just happened to me and I can’t help but share it with the world. American Airlines instituted a new policy where you have to pay to take a carry-on onto the plane.
Which is ridiculous but off topic.
I consolidate my bags into one and they measure it and say it’s just a little too big. They proceed to charge me $50, except they only take credit card, no cash. Since I just got back from Europe all my cards are being declined as Chase doesn’t know I’m back.
They tell me that I’m going to have to miss the flight and head back to the ticket counter to pay down there. I’m pleading, devastated after a long day of travel. Then, this man walks up and says, “How much is it?” They tell him $50 and he says “I got it.”
I’m astonished and tell him it’s fine not to worry and he hands the lady his card as the American Airlines employees stand in silence shocked by this man’s generosity. They swipe the card and he tells me to have a great flight and hop on board.
I’m crying as I write this and as I board the flight. This man was an angel. I stop him as he’s sitting in first class and try to give him my money but he just shook me off and told me to pay it forward.
My heart is so happy. There are good people in this world.
Be that person for someone because I know after this I sure will be.” 💕
Update: It was NFL player, Jermaine Gresham.”

Hey @SarahHuckabee
Black history is not propaganda.
Black history is not teaching our kids to hate America.
Black history is not perpetuating a lie.
Slavery happened.
Lynching happened.
Rape, murder, brutalization, and dehumanization of Black people happened and continues to happen.
Racialized mass incarceration, racial profiling, and extrajudicial murder of Black people happened and continues to happen.
Black history is American history.
Black history is not indoctrination.
Banning Black history is racist.
You are racist. You are not Christian. You are pathetic.
