"So the role of the woman in the Black Panther Party is exactly the same as a man. We make no distinction whatsoever. Women hold ranking positions in the party. They are all instructed, and are military-trained."

This weekend, we kicked off our neighborhood walk on Devon Ave at Ghareeb Nawaz Restaurant, where they said yes to putting up our sign!

We are building support one conversation at a time.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home.

Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

“Minnesota's nickname is the North Star State due to its motto "L'Etoile du Nord," which was adopted in 1861.

Minnesota is the North Star State. ✨

Consider this fact whenever you're feeling despair at what's happening in our country right now. Follow our North Star.”

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.

Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

Il y a des larmes

Celles qui glissent du cœur et qui ne sortent pas ;
Celles qui brûlent encore à l'intérieur de soi ,
comme mille volcans que seul le temps endormira.
