The one that always gets me is Redoshi.
Born in Africa. Kidnapped and smuggled to Alabama in 1860.
A victim of the transatlantic slave trade who lived so recently we have film footage of her.

A major milestone in my feminism was when I learned that marital rape was only outlawed in my country 7 years before I was born. It made me realise how much I cannot take for granted, as a woman.
This graphic drives the same point home: fight like hell, lest backsliding take away your rights.

This Team USA women’s team just had another shutout victory with another 5 goals. They are so close to matching the 98 Olympic team that scored 36 in just 6 games, but that team gave up 8 goals, and this team only 1 goal! 🤯 what we are getting to witness is the greatest display of women’s hockey

Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu died #OTD in 1997.
She conducted the Wu experiment (proving parity isn't conserved) for which her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics. Her role wasn't publicly honored until she was awarded the inaugural Wolf Prize in 1978. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect

Please call and demand the release of Juan Nicolas. Babies should not be held in detention centers.
Every person in ICE custody should have access to the medical care they need – promptly and from competent providers.

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community
