Seattle City Council just removed all police from their public schools thanks to pressure from protests like this one.

75 years ago today, the United States detonated an atomic bomb over #Hiroshima.

In 1967, #MLK said that the U.S. is “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.”

We can’t move forward without acknowledging and repenting for the past + aligning this nation with love.

Voter suppression is racism. When the vote is suppressed, it may target Black, brown, & indigenous people, but it allows people to get elected who then use their political power to block living wages, healthcare, & social uplift programs for all people, regardless of their race.

Racism is not a difference of opinion.

I laid in my bed in tears last night. The estimated life expectancy of a Black trans woman is only 35 years old. I’m 36 today. I’m more than a statistic, and so are my sisters. Everyday we fight for racial & gender justice, is another day we stand the chance of beating the odds.

Happy 27th birthday, Breonna. We honor you today and always. Rest, now. #BreonnaTaylor #BlackLivesMatter #RestInPower

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:

Rest in Power, Beautiful. @BlkLivesMatter honors those we have lost to police violence. #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd

No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace.
