Happy birthday to Angela Davis, activist, professor, and author, who turns 80 today! Davis’s leadership in Black liberation movement work dating back to the 60s with The Black Panther Party has been incredibly impactful to our black & brown communities
Minnesota just restored the right to vote to over 55,000 people on felony probation or parole. That's great news, but may leave you wondering: With a prison population of just ~8k, how are there that many people on felony probation and parole in the first place? /1
@CarlosJamet @PrisonPolicy People who are in jail because they cannot afford bail have literally only been ACCUSED of committing a crime. So they are literally only there because they cannot pay to go home.
American Baptist College joins her family & friends in celebrating the life of Dr. Susie McClure, a former member of the College's Board of Trustees & namesake of the campus library. Her enormous generosity & how she touched our lives blessed all of us at the College and beyond.
When right-wingers spend 50 years preaching that the problems in the Black community are caused by "father absence" and "out of wedlock childbirth" and then rally behind Herschel Walker, you know they were trolling you the whole time
We have to declare to these folks (and I mean the MAGA folks, so-called moderate Republicans, silent Liberals who worry that we are going too far) that we are NOT going back to the dark ages in this country. Take it for what it is: we are NOT going back!
@SandyDarity @DaniloTPerez@gfpiemonte Not in the US! Freed Africans wouldnt have needed to push for the 14th Amendment during Reconstruction if this were true. Black ppl possessed no rights or benefits of citizenship b4 1868. 14th Amend est. birthright citizenship for Black folks on paper but not in practice.
Lots of rejoicing over the demise of Roe among conservatives. But while they talk up the need to "convince women they don't need abortions," still no policies in place for medical care, childcare, food, education etc. for the poor families who will be most impacted. NOT pro-life.
