States ranking in the top 30 in gun ownership account for 60% of the U.S. Senate but only 36% of the U.S. population.

@ClintSmithIII A question for these ppl: if you are disconnected from the slaveholders (my family wasn’t here then, I’m not racist, etc.) why do you feel “bashed” when they are criticized? Bc maybe you are more connected to them than you admit, even to yourself.

"I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else."

Cocooned inside this denialism is where our own fascist movement has taken root. And it's only by piercing it can we pull it loose of the soil nourishing it. But we won't do that until fascism is denied the protections of the very laws it seeks to overthrow for everyone else. 19/

RIP Toni Morrison.
Here is her Nobel Lecture, which feels just as relevant as when she first delivered it in 1993:

It’s stunning and grotesque to see the number of op-eds being churned out on Kashmir, about Kashmiris, without hearing a single word from them.

When I read a Toni Morrison novel I feel like underlining every sentence.

”The problem is not caused by some abstraction called ‘polarization’ or by ‘the failure of both sides to understand each other.’ Those are the alibis of timid souls so intent on sounding ‘balanced’ that they turn their eyes from the truth.”

After Columbine over 10,000 school police officers were hired just in case a school shooting happened. Two decades later, they haven't stopped a *single* school shooting. Instead they've arrested over 1 million kids, mostly students of color, for routine behavior violations. https://t.co/DKoJE9LL3e
