I’m appalled by the attack on workers' free speech at the UC, where peaceful protesters have been met with violent repression. Join me in supporting @UAW_4811 workers fighting for their fundamental rights! uaw.org/standupuc/

Preach @TarajiPHenson! Project 2025 is a REAL threat to all of us. Every part of it is a wrecking ball for our lives, our families, and our rights. #BETAwards

Native Americans were regarded as “merciless Indian savages” from the 1776 signing of Declaration of Independence to when my ancestor Standing Bear forced them to recognize him as a person due his civil rights in 1879. Over 100 years of that lie. That’s not a great nation at all

Sometimes people are jealous of how well you held your life together after going through a storm that they thought would tear you down. That’s why they really can’t stand you because you continue to keep coming out on top when that same storm would’ve defeated them. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

“ let’s forget about this genocide in Palestine, we need to focus on america” ok? what about the genocide of Native Americans?

To buy an election is oligarchy, not democracy. Lets be clear, if Cori stayed silent on the genocide in Gaza, she wouldn’t have a challenger. It was her courage to stand up for Palestinians and unprotected people everywhere that angered the powerful. And if we as Americans are

When dreamers protested Obama campaign offices in 2012, we won DACA. Obama caved, and we didn’t wreck the election. This play is worth running again for an arms embargo.

Shout out Black/Latinx b-boys & b-girls in NYC who are likely in their mid-late 60s today who were harassed by cops, admonished by media, and dismissed by ‘artists’ for creating what is now a global art form #OlympicGames #breakdancing #hiphop #NYC

James Earl Jones, the legendary EGOT-winning actor known for roles in Star Wars, Field of Dreams, The Lion King, and more, has died aged 93.

I thought I’d been radicalized by Trayvon Martin’s murder. Then Tamir Rice. Then Breonna Taylor. Then watching mass encampment sweeps during a homelessness crisis. But watching people, people I used to respect even, smugly being genocide apologists has broken something in me.

being the first indigenous actor nominated in a leading actor category and wearing a bloody handprint across your mouth is an incredible statement to make

After Nicaragua’s devastating ‘72 earthquake, Nixon sent paratroopers to the country instead of aid, fearing it would “go communist”. Hearing Somoza’s fascist goons were seizing aid for themselves, Clemente decided to deliver aid himself in a plane that would crash & end his life
