This administration proves that diversity, equity, accessibility, & inclusion will always be vital.

Their colossal, humiliating failures that accumulate daily show that not only are the majority of these folks simply unqualified, it shows how white supremacy is directly harmful to the country.

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss

At some point, solidarity has to become loud.

It’s not in pink cat hats, blue bracelets, costumes from dystopian fiction, or black squares. It’s not in aesthetics.

It’s in using what you can to stand up for one another.

Making fun of fascists is a vital part of depowering fascism.

It takes away their own self importance.

It takes away their own self prioritization.

So, just to be clear, that man just went on tv to campaign on lies, right? We all saw that, right?

-Gutted vital gun safety and crime policies, -Repealed the ATF’s “zero tolerance” policy for gun dealers who break the law,

There is something deeply wrong when
-reproductive care
-history books
-and a literal font
can be banned before guns.

Yes, you can and should be concerned about the well being of people in your own country as well as people globally.

Refuse to be gaslit by some internet activist’s idea that you can’t be concerned for your neighbors, your community, your people AS WELL.

When the government admits it broke the law to imprison children, that is not a policy failure. It is a moral one.
ICE now admits that hundreds of children were held past the legal 20-day custody limit set to protect their safety.

Five were kept for 168 days.

Some faced unsafe conditions and went days without medical care.

This crosses a moral line.
About 400 immigrant children were detained longer than the recommended limit, ICE admits
Legal advocates concerned over the prolonged detention of immigrant children in federal custody are sounding the alarm before the federal court. U.S.

Somebody STILL wins.
Somebody STILL get the position.
You do have the choice to not participate, but whether you participate or not, SOMEBODY gon’ win

There is a long history of sanitizing the legacies of people who've done harm. We need to talk about that.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

The conversations online directed have been wildly frustrating, especially for Black women. there's too many people too willing to talk over us or about us but never speak to help us...

Let's talk about it.
