Ma'Khia Bryant was 16 years old and had her entire life ahead of her.

For the second time in less than a week, we are collectively mourning a child killed by the police.

We'll say it again — a system that kills children with impunity cannot be reformed.

I prefer the word “accountability” instead of “Justice”. One person was held accountable today for torture & murder of #GeorgeFloyd “Justice” would be dismantling the criminal legal system that keeps traumatizing and killing our Black family. #MakiyahBryant

BREAKING: Derek Chauvin has been convicted of the murder of George Floyd.

For the first time in Minnesota state history, a white police officer has been held accountable for killing a Black man.

One of the worst feelings is knowing you need to a stranger’s kindness to save your life. Literally. Knowing a potential cure for your cancer exists but you need a match. Please watch & seriously consider the registry. You can be a Real Super hero! @BeTheMatch @BTMPublicPolicy

After defeat of NAACP supported anti-lynching bill in 1922, Du Bois wrote: "the machinery of the US Senate is antiquated to the point that millions of ppl may suffer injustice & death on account of it"

^Still true in 2021

Excellent thread on racist history of filibuster 👇🏾

[ACLU @ACLU]

Our trans youth should be protected, not alienated.

Olivia Data, a high school student and athlete, testified in front of North Dakota lawmakers to say that trans people belong in sports, and deserve a safe and healthy environment.

We'll keep saying it: Trans people belong.

Wonderful news! We have a number of bills this season that could give immediate relief to folks. Let’s hope the people we have elected will center the rights of people who are poor in our state!

After months of deserted streets and shuttered storefronts, downtown Seattle faces a long road back to recovery. Those who rely on it have little certainty whether or when it can regain its earlier vitality. https://t.co/wlqTbrFjqi
