If you had a parent who was abusive and another parent who supported and enabled them, you had two abusive parents.

We must center humanity at every step. We must take care of each other. We must be together.

Those who deny people’s humanity are not on a path of justice.

Today, Trayvon Martin should be celebrating his 30th birthday.

He should be surrounded by friends and family.

Trayvon deserved to see 30. Happy heavenly birthday 🕊️

I know we're just used to it but can you imagine if someone you loved died in a historic plane crash and this is what the guy who's supposed to fix things says

@kaydee816 Rando from an incredibly small farm town in MN: Yes, we did learn square dancing. Until month grade. 😂 (For context, I graduated in 2011.)

i think being unable to care about marginalized people until you yourself become marginalized IS bad and embarrassing

Undocumented immigrants deserve dignity not because of how their labor serves you and this country, but because we are human beings. But that seems hard to understand in a society that values people based on their productivity.

Now seems like a good time to mention that I wrote an impeccably sourced 6,000-word article on rampant child sex abuse by Fort Bragg soldiers, but a major national magazine rejected it on the grounds that it was simply "too dark" to publish.

my yt classmate said what really opened her eyes in our “AA communication” class was when our professor explained how, if a white person does something, it’s just them as a person but if a blck person does something, people act like it represents the whole race… (1/2)

I had some things to say about this because of course I did. 🧵

"I'm Mvskoke and Semvnole. We lived in wooden long houses traditionally. They were permanent housing centered around a town square. We had at least 50 Tribal Towns which were organized into the largest governmental

Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."

I wholeheartedly believe that people deserve to suffer the unintended consequences of their own willful complicity to systems they know are oppressive.

In case you didn't already believe that we were going to speedrun to camps... Trump has announced a mass deportation of millions on day 1.

An earlier poll reported by Axios found 47% support rounding immigrants up and putting them into militarized camps.

This is who we are.

You’re going to see a lot of people talk about community and I want to remind you that community doesn’t mean big or large, it means people who are intentionally invested in your well-being.

Your friend group of two or three people is also a community.

Please take this moment to be sad and grieve because America has failed us.

But when you are done, please continue to fight for your POC, queer, femme, and trans siblings/friends.

It’s a very scary time for us right now and we need to know we are not alone.
