We cannot talk about #FeministClimateJustice without talking about intersectionality & #HumanRights. We demand an approach to all #ClimateAction that centers gender justice, respects rights, and protects women #HumanRightsDefenders.

"We #AfricanFeministsCOP27 demand gender-responsive land policy that expands women's access to and control of land, and invests in agroecology," says Gertrude Kenyangi.

Mask restrictions are easing just in time for us to see each other’s expressions when World War III starts.

@AngelaSterritt My son is traumatized because of this. He interviewed survivors (my friends) for a film as an Indigenous youth. He went into a deep depression and ended up leaving the project. He still is haunted by it. I felt powerless and stupid for not preparing him better.

The anger around this is mind-blowing. Colonial trauma is the issue not alcohol. With or without alcohol the trauma is the same and blaming an alcohol or any single person for our oppression is a cop out. We should be fighting colonialism not each other.

This may be one of the most fucked up responses I’ve received so far.

[celeste smith @overtimendn]

@chiefladybird Stay strong friend. You ain't colonialism. You didn't cause any of this shit and saying you did is a straight up cop out. Love you girl.

ICYMI: @overtimendn and @thefrybreadriot joined us to talk about Indigenous foodways and now I can't stop thinking about what are we fighting to save?

Growing, gathering, and food. Worth fighting for.

Minister @Carolyn_Bennett Stop the criminalization of Land Defenders!

The president of the Union of Palestinian Women's Committees, #KitamSaafin was seized along with six other Palestinian activists and human rights defenders on 2 Nov 2020 #FreeKitamSaafin #UnitedToDecriminalize #HumanRights #illegalStateIsrael #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners

[celeste smith @overtimendn]

Israel uses administrative detention to hold Palestinians in Israeli prisons for an indefinite time without charge or sharing any reason of arrest with family members or lawyers of those detained. We demand Israel #FreeKitamSaafin NOW!

Proud of my brothers in the NBA. Like their sisters in the WNBA, they refuse to shut up and dribble. How can they? They are in pain, too. They are angry, too. They want justice, too. They want the American nightmare over, too. They are us.
